Energy and marine consultancy ABL is supporting Esso Australia Resources Pty Ltd (Esso) as it gears up for the offshore removal campaign of up to 12 platforms on the Gippsland Decommissioning Campaign #1 Project \u2013 Australia\u2019s largest offshore decommissioning campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Esso is the operator of the assets in the Bass Strait that are part of the Gippsland Basin Joint Venture. In total, assets comprise of approximately 400 wells, six subsea facilities and more than 800 kilometres of subsea pipelines, and 19 platforms. After delivering energy to Australia for over 50 years, Esso is planning to undertake the first Bass Strait decommissioning campaign.<\/p>\n

With approximately 60,000 tonnes of offshore structures to be removed and a target to recycle over 95 percent of materials, the project represents a major milestone for Australia\u2019s decommissioning and circular economy ambitions.<\/p>\n

ABL\u2019s operations in Australia were commissioned by Esso to provide marine warranty survey (MWS) services to support in the safe and efficient delivery of the first phase of the decommissioning campaign.<\/p>\n

Preparations for the campaign are well advanced, with the offshore lifting campaign to remove up to 12 platforms scheduled to commence in 2027 using Allseas\u2019s PIONEERING SPIRIT. In preparation, ABL is conducting suitability surveys to validate the proposed marine spread, and technical review and approval of decommissioning documentation. Its scope of work will include on-site attendance at all warranted offshore operations to ensure activities are executed safely and in line with approved procedures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a landmark project for Australia\u2019s offshore industry, involving highly complex marine operations, including offshore lifting, transportation and discharge of substantial tonnage of assets that are up to half a century old. Our extensive track record and multi-disciplined expertise that we offer in decommissioning, alongside our deep experience in offshore Australia \u2013 makes ABL well positioned to support Esso in reducing risk and optimizing their operations.\u201d Adam Solomons, East Coast Manager at ABL Australia.<\/p>\n

ABL brings more than four decades of decommissioning experience, supporting offshore oil and gas and offshore wind projects globally, offering services from feasibility and owner\u2019s engineering through to marine consultancy and MWS.<\/p>\n

ABL\u2019s Australian operation is headquartered in Perth, with offices in Sydney and Brisbane, and a presence in Melbourne through its sister company, renewable energy consultancy OWC.<\/p>\n

ABL is part of Oslo-listed ABL Group.<\/p>\n
