McDermott has successfully completed the decommissioning of the Campbell platform and associated offshore infrastructure in central Varanus Island, Western Australia. The project, awarded in January 2024 by Santos, included engineering, procurement and the removal of the topsides of the platform, as well as the transportation of the elements to the mainland for disposal.
Decommissioning of offshore platforms
The company carried out a safe decommissioning operation using a jack-up platform, manufactured specifically to address the complexities of the Campbell platform substructure. This platform was designed at McDermott’s Batam facility and was supported by engineering teams from Perth, Chennai and Kuala Lumpur.
This project reflects McDermott’s commitment to developing creative solutions for circularity and offshore decommissioning. According to Mahesh Swaminathan, McDermott’s senior vice president of Subsea and Floating Facilities, the successful execution of this work demonstrates how the company’s decommissioning expertise can meet the most complex challenges of Australia’s energy industry.
With this intervention, McDermott is contributing to the growing demand for sustainable practices in the global energy sector by implementing technologies that optimize both safety and efficiency on decommissioning and refurbishment and refurbishment projects.
McDermott, with a presence in more than 54 countries, remains focused on providing responsible solutions for the transformation of the world’s energy resources. This latest project in Western Australia is just one of many the company is undertaking in its mission to drive a brighter, more sustainable energy future.
