Singapore-based Fourcask has successful completed a decommissioning scope for the removal of wellhead platforms, supporting a major international client in the Asia Pacific (APAC) Region.
Under the awarded Service Order, Fourcask had been contracted to provide “Project Management and Engineering” for the decommissioning and removal of ten (10) wellhead platforms. The offshore campaign for the removal of these 10 wellhead platforms are expected to commence in 2024 once necessary endorsements are in place.
As part of the decommissioning scope of work, Fourcask provided a range of engineering services, such as:
-
- Motions, mooring and stability analysis
-
- Grillage and seafastening design
- Structural integrity assessment of the platform and decommissioning vessels
- Structural design for decommissioning
- Mooring line pull in assessment
- Optimizing the mooring line setup based on vessel equipment and field layout
- Designing of the mooring line catenary against COMPANY’s specified excursion requirement
- Load‐In Beam Design for transportation

Fourcask’s Managing Director Shawn Wong said,
“While Fourcask continues to deliver projects as a Transportation and Installation (T&I) service provider, Fourcask along with our strategic alliance partners have carved a niche as a provider of offshore integrated engineering solutions to the oil and gas industry in the Asia Pacific and international region. We are extremely proud to complete this important decommissioning engineering project successfully. It clearly demonstrate our team’s capabilities on engineering excellence in decommissioning work within the region.” Following up with the completion of Phase 1 decommissioning engineering projects in the Gulf of Thailand, we are confident to secure more decommissioning work including additional packages of wellhead platforms and pipelines removal scope in 2024.
