Chevron has tested an environmentally friendly, fast intervention tool for subsea pipeline decommissioning. The tool, developed in collaboration with Allspeeds, was tested using the submersion tanks at Balmoral’s Subsea Test Centre in Aberdeen, Scotland. “Chevron’s new technology is a game-changer that will allow us to safely and effectively remove oil from our pipelines without damaging them,” said John O’Connell, president of Allspeeds. 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.
