Training Course Module
Bryce Read, Project Manager at DOF Subsea UK, delivers essential technical and planning insight in his Lean Decom training course module, ‘FPSO Decommissioning’. In this module, he provides a detailed walkthrough of the Western Isles FPSO decommissioning project, outlining the critical sequencing required to disconnect mooring lines and umbilicals to transition a floating production asset from its station for removal.
Bryce focuses specifically on vessel selection criteria, station-keeping risk mitigation, and the deployment of diamond wire chain-cutting technology to improve project efficiency. He also shares professional guidance on managing transit routes and tidal windows, ensuring the safe towage and recovery of subsea infrastructure for onshore disposal and the recycling of mooring components.
