Key deals see Decom end 2024 on a high

The UK-based company has solidified its position as a leader in subsea cutting and asset recovery services, ably assisted by its patented range of heavy-duty Chopsaws and Tracksaws.

Managing director Sean Conway said it was encouraging to finish 2024 so strongly. “The diversity of the projects we have lined up for 2025 is a testament to the innovative approach that is central to how we work with clients,” he said.

“These upcoming contracts in the UK North Sea, Australia, North America and South America, alongside our growing portfolio of work completed offshore Africa and Gulf of Thailand, provide a solid foundation for our continued growth.”

In the UK North Sea, Decom recently completed a major conductor removal campaign whilst in Western Australia, Decom is preparing to deploy its custom-built Tracksaw for linear cuts in confined spaces, aiding the recovery of a turret mooring.

The company is also set to use its Chopsaws to cut mooring chains on the seabed for another Australian project. In the Exmouth Gulf, Decom will perform 850 cuts on an 8-inch multi-layer flexible flowline within a tight 30-day timeline.

In the Gulf of Mexico, Decom is gearing up for a 40-day campaign on a major tension leg platform, where it will deploy its C1-24 Chopsaw to sever 24-inch tendon sections. The company is also refining its Chopsaw range, introducing a lighter variant for an upcoming 45-day campaign in the Shenandoah Field.

Meanwhile, Decom’s South American operations will see the completion of a 10-month project to cut multiple 120mm link mooring chains using a custom-designed C1-16 Chopsaw.
