The Pylons will most likely remain in place and act as an artificial reef for marine life. Those are clearly marked on Marine Charts, so ships need to watch out for them as they need to do for Offshore Wind Farms
Seems all way more complicated than that. There is not just the pylons, but also the storage cells and the drill cuttings, as Shell explains. ua-cam.com/video/OrYaiIspNeA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Xtt9Qz7cVXE/v-deo.html And their plan for the concrete structure: ua-cam.com/video/E8Y1CO5mHwA/v-deo.html
The plan for "Jacket" or Pylons as you call them was to use divers to cut the top 30 meter section off and leave the rest in situ as an artificial reef. Whether Shell will keep their side of the bargain or just pay a fine is anyones guess.
Brent Delta was known as a 'Condeep' oil rig. The entire base was used for oil storage so was held to the sea bed by gravity. What's more amazing is that it was floated complete from it's building yard to location and then sunk at it's North Sea location in about 500ft of water...The more familiar steel oil rigs are known as 'Jackets' and often floated out on one side and then sunk onto their location. They would then be pinned to the sea bed by huge pile-drivers. After that the various accomodation and production components would be craned into place like a giant lego set.
You mean the bloody thing was just sitting on the pylons? Not bolted down at all ?? The tanks on the side of the lifting arms look exactly like fluorescent lighting tubes.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just de-contaminate the platform at sea (Remove oil and harmfull chemical); put an exclusion zone in place and then leave it to rot for eternity? Seriously why is it so important to remove everything? I am sure birds and marine growth would love to use a decaying rusty platform as shelter, it could even boost local wildlife and commercial fishing in the vicinity of this artificial reef.
Having worked on the installtion of jackets and topsides and know the planning , engineering ,risks,safety this is FIRST IN CLASS job Fantastic well done to everyone who was involved .
It never ceases to amaze me the capabilities of man...The engineering, the logistics, the processes and the successes...Just one in billions...And yet there are monsters and idiots on this earth who would see us all dead...They ignore the good and devour the bad in man... What a piece of worke is a man! how Noble in Reason? how infinite in faculty? in forme and mouing how expresse and admirable? in Action, how like an Angel? in apprehension, how like a God? .. W.S...
This may be a dumb question, but does weather play a significant role in this process? I'd imagine an unexpected storm would postpone any removal or transportation.
Not a dumb question at all. These vessel are fitted with DPO systems that can hold them in place should a storm occur. but huge storms would have an effect most definitely and all vessels work within limits when it comes to sea state for safety reasons and to protect the asset. Check out DP I , DP II, DP III vessels. Pioneering Spirit ( formerly Pieter Schelte ) is a DP III vessel. www.professionalmariner.com/April-2008/As-DP-systems-grow-in-importance-the-technology-continues-to-improve/
Having just seen Brent Delta in Able's Hartlepool dock, I can confirm that the rig is enormous - and towers over the nearby EDF nuclear power station (seen at 7 mins in). An amazing technical feat, and thanks to Able UK for staging open days to allow the public to see it.
the pioneering spirit is one of the most fagnificant and impressive working ships in the world today. the catamaran looks awesome. and the manpower and engeneering spirit is unbeleavable. the video is very good. perfect camera positions and super cut. but in oposite to some others who watched the video. the music is terrible and i turned the speakers completely off. the music fitts more for lively things like animals in the spring or when the nature is flowerishing. to this only technical video fits something else but notclassic. anyhow. thanks for uploading the video!
No, most of the time these big topsides just sit ontop of the jacket. Their weight alone is sufficient to keep them in place...No bolts, no welding, nothing. this one is 8000 tonnes plus.
offshore drilling using renewable energy and offshore drilling using satellite remote sensing for oil and gas can reduce production cost and hence oil price all over the world .
Dismantling offshore is just a no go. It would cost something in the order of £100k per day to provide floating accommodation and logistics support for the dismantling crews and standby vessels etc. Also dismantling offshore would be weather dependent far more so than it would be in Ables yard on Teesside. From a safety point of view it is also much safer carried out onshore because all of the risks associated with working over water are eliminated.
@Bob Rodgerson Why dismantle it in the first place?The price of the scrap metal doesn't justify it.Was there a pollution reason?Isn't cleaning the piping contaminated with oil far cheaper?And then sunk it in the sea?
@@bulacomunistu8727 It was always agreed the oil companies would do this. The major concern was preserving the environment. You can't just sink it with all the pollutants and all the stuff out of sight.
Horrible "background" music..! I submit that Wagner would have been a better choice. Since this awesome ship used to be called "Pieter Schelte". Who supposedly is somehow linked to the SS. Oops..! "Pieter Schelte Heerema (Amsterdam, 27 april 1908 - Leiden, 30 september 1981) was a civil engineer, Dutch member of the German Waffen-SS, officer in the Dutch SS and after the war a businessman/contractor in offshorebusiness."
So ? What does that ship have to do with politics ? You want to say just because someone was in the SS they cannot make positive contributions and be honored for that ?
South Korean Technology.
There are engineers and there are ENGINEERS. That is one fine example of engineering at its best. Well done!
at least they had the decency to rename her.
always amazed at the ingenuity of people building giant machines
Made in korea Ship.
Music really needs to be the theme to the Thunderbirds tv show :-) with such awesome engineering !
Very cool video. Especially amazing considering how lengthy and precise the process must have been in real-time.
one word: unimaginable!
what do they do about the pylons ? wouldn't they be a hazard for ships ? other than that awesome video :)

Yeah I was surprised by that as well, but I guess 24,000 tons has some serious staying power.
amazing!
Dutch power.

Now Greenpeace is very happy.
And the stockmarket price can go up because they are environmentally responsible.
Made in Korea !!!
it amazes me that people have dreamt this up while only 150 years ago cars and planes did not even exist
I worked on her as the quiet Irish medic for a few years 😀
I’ll be joining her for the first time this summer I’m extremely excited.
Watching this while eating breakfast, gives me grate inspiration to do my best at school today!
South Korean ship building technology
What fools you have been, revealing your techniques, I will build my own 24 000 tons lifting boat and undercut the market
The ship made by Daewoo in South Korea.
From offshore rigs and sea vessels to space ships the engineers behind the sophistication are genius.
That music made this hype as fuck. I jumped out of my chair and started cheering when they lifted that shit
Having worked on the installtion of jackets and topsides and know the planning , engineering ,risks,safety this is FIRST IN CLASS job Fantastic well done to everyone who was involved .
Wat een knap stuk techniek ga er maar aanstaan om dit ontwerp op papier te krijgen!
Prachtig in beeld gebracht!
I was a welder on that job 2015-2016
Was the orchestra on the port or starboard side...and did the oil company pay the ransom to get their rig back?

Excellent video Richard,fascinating piece of engineering,thank you,
What was the background music? I thought it was kinda generic at first but I really got into it as the video progressed.
It's the Homage March from the Sigurd Jorsalfar suite by Edvard Grieg.
They took the oil drill, can't have shit in detroit
now that Delta is removed Charlie and Alpha are next on the list to be scrapped.
worked for 8 years on the delta I am sure I can see my old cabin
Ahhh... those memorable chopper flights and fixed wings from Scatsta... It all seems like a bad dream now.
My first platform I procured parts and services for... sad to see this 😟

It is dumb enough, yes.

someone paid attention in math class
That’s awesome engineering, well done 👍
People can do incredible things like this but stop fighting, nope! Maybe to easy,,,,,,,,
An impressive piece of engineering. What a journey !
What happens to the legs?
It's still in the yard waiting to get scrapped. It was on my local news today. Great video by the way
@@WyejenHart woops my bad! Haha
She's worth 3 billions dollars alone.

I just don't understand why I watched this.
Amazing i wish i can apply like this job

You people can do anything
congratulation to work to beautiful work
How is it possible that the rig can be so far on the edge of the Iron Lady, where is an equilibrium?
Ballast water in the tanks of the barge in the opposite side compensate for that
thanks, great timelapse!
WOW What an impressive ship !!!!!!
Thank you. For the knowledge.
Holy Great Engineer. 😱
is this the one for Hartlepool
i think i just wet myself a little bit
Fantastic ship, I built it
7:33 that evacuation sound in rouge one
😮😮😮😱😱😱
That is awesome
incredible!!

Ein herrvorragend gemachtes Video was auch die Details des Lifting sehr deutlich zeigt.
Auch die Backround - Music passt zum Film.
Truly Amazing
Its dutch

Saludos paisa. Y yo estoy atorado tratando de poner un tornillo de 1/2 jajajaaaaaa
Didn't all the bolts holding the top to the pylons have to be cut off with torches??
No, most of the time these big topsides just sit ontop of the jacket. Their weight alone is sufficient to keep them in place...No bolts, no welding, nothing. this one is 8000 tonnes plus.
Yes they had to.
The next oil rig they figured out a different way to cut lt loose.
should an intelligent human think correctly to preserve not to destroy the planet...his own home..
offshore drilling using renewable energy and offshore drilling using satellite remote sensing for oil and gas can reduce production cost and hence oil price all over the world .
It looks like a lot of waste, with all the extra ships and moving equipment. Why not disassemble in place?
look what their paying for all those structures.
Dismantling offshore is just a no go.

You can bet your ass they are doing it this way because it's cheaper in the long run.

All of this for fucking oil.
No kidding, it was impressive but I thought the exact same thing.
For some reason I think you know that's not what was implied but still chose to reply that way.
Do you think think it would be possible to use those ressources for something else? Something battery cells and solor pannels?
