Speaking on the sidelines after a UK North Sea decommissioning panel at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston earlier this month, BP’s vice president of decommissioning Win Thornton said the company settled on dismantling the Miller installation offshore after considering other decommissioning options, such as the recent single-lift topside removal of Shell’s Brent D topsides.
“It’s actually a reverse installation,” Thornton said of the procedure, which will likely be carried out later this year.
