That’s my old rig, the one I spent 3 and a half weeks on strike. I used to go down one of those legs in a lift, below the sea level . Strange to see it sitting in a yard. That was an amazing lift!
Given the company's impressive expertise in off shore engineering, Its sad they didn't start a large-scale pivot into offshore wind a decade ago. They could have been the dominant player in that industry by now. Instead they'll be left fighting over the shrinking oil market with state players like Saudi Aramco and Russia's Rosneft. Finally they'll end up consigned to history like the big whaling companies of the 19th century.
@Harrison _ I'm sure it'll take a while to go away entirely. Just like I can take a trip on a preserved steam railway, or go and learn to ride a horse if I really wanted to. Even some of the oil majors are saying that global oil production has likely peaked. Competing with technologies that are already cheaper J for J than oil (and with the gap widening further every year) is going to be tough for the oil industry. Nothing personal to the people who work in the industry (a couple of friends of mine used to work on rigs), but there is far more new offshore wind being developed now than new oil in the North Sea.
It's incredible how much stability and control the ship maintains coping with an off centre change in weight of 25,000 tonnes in 9 seconds, very impressive engineering. Does it have to shift ballast around quickly to compensate I wonder, or maybe 25k tonnes is relatively small compared with it's displacement during the lift.
Brings back memories of when I was onshore support in Aberdeen for Brent Bravo back in the 1990’s. It exceeded our expectations of designed production life and service. We had our ups and downs with the Brent Spa and sad human tragedies which highlights the dangers of oil and gas extraction offshore. This methodology from Allseas and all the decommissioning teams is truly world class. There are now literally many thousands of global offshore platforms scheduled for removal but the Bravo with its concrete based jacket will always be remembered for this achievement.
The wonder's of the Shell !..! Here in my country I trust Shell and always fuel my vehicles in Shell for the good things they keep doing. Thank you for being able to service in my country.
It's rusting and deteriorating, if left to it's own it would eventually collapse. in a post zombie world you wouldn't have the means to repair most of that damage. Better to hide out in an abandoned bunker the army built.
that thing looked so small on the huge boat but when it was on the barge that is when I realised the sheer size of that thing ! Everything about this operation is amazing
To be fair the Pioneering Spirit is the largest vessel ever built, with a maximum displacement of 1,000,000 tons. That is the same displacement as all 10 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers of the United States combined. In comparison the oil rig it lifted was just 25,000 tons, or one quarter of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.
I wonder how much the dismantling part of the operation costs in terms of CO2. The whole operation with recycling was for the environment right? Plus the amount it took to do the moving and planning operation....
Not pillars - they are or were the original legs. These legs have their own history - when Bravo came into production (producing oil) there were lives lost in one of the legs (the utility shaft). Unfortunately three guys died due to I believe - H2S gas poisoning.
I didn't watch it entirely. But Shell uploading videos like this is all part of their greenwashing. Even though I enjoy large engineering projects, since they're always impressive. Still a nice feat of engineering. Although I really wonder how much of the work Shell did themselves, in terms of just hiring another company to clean up their mess.
I'm proud of ALL the people involved in this engineering feat. I spent many a sea days working with Shell. Moving 1.5 mile submerged pipeline in tandem tow on DP... I thought that awesome at the time. This...simply amazing. Accomplishments like this give us hope that our future is more resilient and resourceful than what current events portray. Congrats Shell!!
@@saintron60 err.. no.. no it won't.. Oil is the decomposed remains of sea critters from 300 million years ago.. once you suck it out and burn it, that's it, it's gone.

Certainly not enough to warrant the investment in designing, building, installing, and operating an entirely new rig, otherwise, they would have just retrofitted these rigs.. It's ALL about the money, always has been, and for a massive company like Shell, it always will be. People much smarter than you (and perhaps even me) have crunched the numbers on this many times over. This is the best financial option for the company. Now as far as the future goes, perhaps one day a system may be developed whereby old wells can be reopened, but with a bit of luck, and public pressure, we won't need to because other methods of power production and fuels will have been developed, thus rendering oil extraction unncessary. I do wonder if I'll see that day in my lifetime..
The scrap steel value was probably something around $2.5MM. Hard to imagine that the opex and capex are much less than that, so I'm wondering how this all worked out. Was it just always considered a "sunk cost"?

A question I thought Shell was Dutch and BP British, seems like a lot of Brits working on the Shell platform? Who is paying for the dismantling Britain or Holland/Netherlands?
Well, A dutch company all seas removed the platform. It will be dismantled in the uk. Companies can bid to buy/recycle it. They then sell the steel in the Hope's of making a profit.
@@samrichards8251 I am sure they could turn it into a hotel or something nice for the ships passing by to stop by... or some scientific research outpost. Many things could be achieved there also for cleaning oceans and also having some patrols be on stand by for emergencies. It's like an artificial island... I don't think it is polluting or something.
I'm guessing that it will cost more in terms of environmental impact to remove and recycle them. However Shell is hoping to look good in doing their bit for the environment, and that no one will look or think beyond that.
I am Pilipino, I am proud shell company because they give many scholarship here in our country, even I do not one them but still I thank shell, my motorbike is a gasoline from shell.

A question I thought Shell was Dutch and BP British, seems like a lot of Brits working on the Shell platform? Who is paying for the dismantling Britain or Holland/Netherlands?
Well,
A dutch company all seas removed the platform. It will be dismantled in the uk. Companies can bid to buy/recycle it. They then sell the steel in the Hope's of making a profit.
Shell is a British-Dutch company headquartered in the Netherlands and incorporated in the United Kingdom.
What happens to the 3 support pipes left behind in the ocean?

I don't understand... why not just let it stay there?
Bad for the environment

That’s like saying why not leave rubbish all over the ground in your local park or street. It doesn’t belong there that’s why.
@@samrichards8251 I am sure they could turn it into a hotel or something nice for the ships passing by to stop by... or some scientific research outpost. Many things could be achieved there also for cleaning oceans and also having some patrols be on stand by for emergencies. It's like an artificial island... I don't think it is polluting or something.
I'm guessing that it will cost more in terms of environmental impact to remove and recycle them. However Shell is hoping to look good in doing their bit for the environment, and that no one will look or think beyond that.
Shell parading their 98% recycling figure is like quitting smoking to help save the environment while driving a muscle car.
Quite probably the single most impressive video I have ever seen! Incredibly talented pool of people💯
I am Pilipino, I am proud shell company because they give many scholarship here in our country, even I do not one them but still I thank shell, my motorbike is a gasoline from shell.
Very clever engineers with balls of steel. Underwritten by insurers with balls of cash. ...and paid for by Shell with a sack of cash that is getting smaller. Well done Shell. The pollution and misery in Bangladesh ship breakers is heart breaking.
4:22 hehe look at the boat bounce 🥺
Also shell : floating tons of oil in the sea creating one of the world's most disasterous economic problems
I like how everything is done so precisely and then it all finishes with having to lineup the barge by eye with a yellow stick.
I thought the thumbnail was like realistic rust😭
This is actually awesome look at the size of those platforms and the simplicity of just picking it up and moving it somewhere else is marveling 👏🏻
