    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.

      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.

    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!!

      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 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 too worked offshore - on all the Shell platforms at one time or another. A sad day for many; the end of an era. Offshore life could be brutal and the conditions gruesome at times, particularly in the early days. Yet I have no regrets. There were good times too and we all felt that we played a part in fuelling Britain's economy. Only those who worked offshore can truly appreciate the enormity of what we all achieved - and thereby feel a sadness now it is all but gone...

      So up aloft to the aerials, hurling curses at the sky
      Whilst down below, the anodes glow; grid volts far too high

      And nothing left to try..' ( An extract from - Ode to a Thermionic Valve)

      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.
      These rigs sucked out tnousands of barrels of oil each day for 40 years, there IS nothing left there..
      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..
