Tui Project’s offshore decommissioning works completed

The last of the Tui Oil Field’s subsea infrastructure has been removed and returned to shore, bringing the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s Tui Project’s decommissioning activities to a close.

Sapura Energy Australia, using its construction support vessel Sapura Constructor, has successfully cut and recovered the remaining two wellheads. Earlier, Sapura had removed four mid-water arch systems. Each of these systems comprised a 60-tonne arch the size of two double-decker buses, suspended on chains above a 100-tonne base.
