Chevron has developed an environmentally friendly , fast intervention tool for subsea pipeline decommissioning . The tool , developed in collaboration with Allspeeds , was tested using the submersion tanks at earth ’s marine Test Centre in Aberdeen , Scotland . The system removes the pipeline from the seabed before placing it on either side of the cutting point to create a cavity that does n't penetrate the pipe wall . A sealant is injected into the cavity , with the pipe then separated safely into two pieces . The tool prevents marine environment contamination and eliminates the need to deploy a containment dome during operations .
