There are three main options available for the removal of offshore installations, in all cases the topside equipment and decks are removed which basically leaves the jacket structure to be disposed of.
The first option involves removing the jacket in its entirety. This is usually done in shallow waters with the jacket simply being cut at the seabed and lifted onto a barge. In deeper waters, the jacket can be cut a depth where it will not prove a hazard to shipping and the upper jacket structure is removed. The third option is to use explosives to topple the jacket onto the seabed where it will be left to form a natural reef. Obviously environmental considerations must play a part in deciding
the method.
