Gel displacement supports subsea flowline decommissioning without production interruption
Publication details: jul. 2026Description: 11 pAbstract: Mature offshore fields often require subsea flowline decommissioning while adjacent infrastructure remains in production, limiting conventional methods. Using a chemically engineered gel displacement system to remove hydrocarbons from two late-life pipe-in-pipe subsea flowlines in the Norwegian North Sea, the project demonstrates a repeatable approach for late-life subsea assets.| Current library | Status | |
