D3 Consulting’s Solution for North Sea Decom Projects

D3 Consulting, specialist decommissioning and demolition consultants, has been awarded a six-figure contract with a undisclosed operator.

The eight-month contract started in April 2016 and involves the preparation of materials inventories for 21 platforms in the Southern North Sea, with eight associated subsea installations and pipelines. The work scope includes the quantification of assets with subsequent characterisation and classification of the waste and materials.

In addition to this contract win, the company completed a three-month project in June 2016 for another operator.

Martin Bjerregaard, director of D3 Consulting, said: “The team at D3 Consulting has more than 20 years of decommissioning experience, and I’m delighted that our expertise was recognised by two major operators in the industry. Our pragmatic and streamlined approach ensures that we can support these operations with bespoke solutions to facilitate safe, regulatory compliant and cost effective decommissioning works.”

The company said it will utilise its Decommissioning Assurance through Waste kNowledge (DAWN) system.

“DAWN has been specifically developed for offshore decommissioning and allows regulatory compliance in waste and materials management to be a timely and simple process. Outputs from the system ensure that the right waste information is provided at the right time to the right people, and ultimately provides waste assurance support for the complete decommissioning cycle,” said Bjerregaard.
