Gel displacement supports subsea flowline decommissioning without production interruption

Gel displacement supports subsea flowline decommissioning without production interruption - jul. 2026 - 11 p.
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.
