Video shows the history of innovation at Brent oil and gas field in the North Sea. Brent field has now reached the stage where production is no longer economically viable despite the fact that once was one of the most productive parts of the U.K.’s offshore assets.
Shell U.K will proces the heaviest lift ever to be carried out at sea – marking yet another milestone for a project that has set the benchmark for engineering feats in the North Sea.
Next summer, the first Brent topside is due to be removed and taken to shore for dismantling and recycling. The lifting process will be done by the Allseas’ vessel Pioneering Spirit, a dynamically positioned vessel for single-lift installation and removal of large offshore oil and gas platforms, and the installation of oil and gas pipelines.
