UEA has commenced the drilling scope of works associated with the Kemps Creek Dual Pressure Project being delivered for Quickway on behalf of Sydney Water. The twin 900 metre shots of 800mm HDPE will keep UEA’s HK250C rig spread busy until late March 2025. The team is looking forward to delivering another significant large diameter installation. #hdd#drilling#sydneywater#hk250#ueahttps://lnkd.in/gbPUUnWW
As we reach over 150 days into our Northern Producer Decommissioning Project, our Project Team take a moment in front of our Northern Producer in the sunshine to celebrate the successful completion of the decontamination phase at Kishorn Port Ltd, Scotland.
Our next anticipated milestone will be the blowdown of the structure to get it safely on the ground, where it will be mechanically demolished and recycled.

Houlder presents methanol bunkering vessel design for SPINE maritime project
Design and engineering consultancy Houlder has unveiled the design of a 10,000 cbm methanol bunkering vessel as part of the SPINE maritime project.
According to Houlder, the methanol bunkering vessel design includes semi-automated crane systems for supplying methanol to other ships of a wide size range, including cruise and large container vessels.
In addressing the challenges around space during the vessel design process, Houlder claimed it navigated complex constraints to optimize the vessel’s layout for maximum efficiency and compliance, adding:
“The use of methanol as both cargo and fuel presented unique spatial considerations, given its lower density compared to conventional fuels, the different regulatory requirements concerning storage and use as cargo or fuel, and associated handling spaces. Houlder’s design team explored allocated space within the hull to balance these requirements within a vessel that is of comparable size to existing small tankers, while adhering to strict safety regulations.” https://bit.ly/4ekHNHF#methanol#efuel#energy#energytransition#futurefuel#cleanfuel#alternativefuel#marine#maritime

What happens once a minesite or processing plant has run its course and it's no longer financially viable to continue operations? That's where decommissioning comes into play.
The object of decommissioning a site is to create a structurally stable landform capable of future productive use, and is often a lengthy and complex process that involves:
👉 Removing hazardous material
👉 Soil and groundwater remediation
👉 Structural demolition & disposal

The maximization of shipboard methanol capacities is critical in the early stages of net zero adoption where shoreside infrastructure and bunkering capabilities have yet to match the increase in methanol-powered ships. #marine#methanol#decarbonization#cleanenergy
In Aker Solutions we contribute to the global environment by doing Decommissioning at our Stord Yard in a safe and efficient manner💚 #AlwaysHomeSafely

The Gyda Decommissioning project is a gigantic recycling project, consisting of large quantities of valuable materials that are in high demand on the world market. There is a need for more construction materials. Also, the production of reused steel, copper, aluminum, and other materials emit far less CO2 than the production of new materials. ♻️
The part of the topside you see on the movie weighs about 1.500 tons and came down safely this week. The part fell exactly as planned in a gravel pad. The area was safely cordoned off. This is an efficient and safe method to get the structures down to the ground within reach of the large cutting machines and keeping our people away from the line of fire💚
Taking apart an oil and gas platform is no easy task and requires meticulous engineering, planning and safe execution. We are very proud of our people that are in the forefront of this challenging work😊❤️
Gyda was once a huge oil and gas platform, with a total weight of 29,000 tons. Soon most of it will be recycled. Once the project is complete, we expect that around 98 percent of Gyda has been recycled. ♻️
Our ambitions at Aker Solutions are high. By 2030, the majority of our business will come from low-carbon oil and gas solutions and renewable energy. Together with our customers, partners and other stakeholders, we are committed to developing and deploying the technologies, processes and solutions to #PowerTheChange
When it comes to HDD operations, this can only be described as 1st class. Well done Andre and the UEA team.
