Offshore Energy Today is sharing the following video with permission from Constructive Media.
The video shows Iwaki Platform Decommissioning Project:
The Iwaki Platform is located approximately 40km east of Nahara Cho in the Fukushima prefecture of Japan, and was installed in 1983 after the Iwaki Gas Field was discovered in 1973.
The decommissioning of the platform was awarded to Nippon Steel Engineering Co Ltd, and subsequently SapuraAcergy Sdn Bhd was awarded the offshore scope of work which included the decommissioning of the topsides, jacket, and associated section 12″ gas export pipeline. This work was executed using the Sapura 3000 vessel and was completed in early 2010.
The subsea cutting work was awarded to ProServ Offshore Malaysia, based in KL, who provided all the diamond wire cutting systems, hot stabs, and contingency water abrasive cutting system. All subsea cutting tools were designed and built at ProServ Offshore’s Aberdeen and Perth facilities.
SapuraAcergy Sdn Bhd requested the assistance of Constructive Media to assist with creating a 3D animation that re-enacted the decommissioning process of the Iwaki Platform.
