Esso's Offshore Decommissioning Campaign in Australia to Recycle 95% of Materials
Esso, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil, is spearheading Australia's largest offshore decommissioning campaign in the Bass Strait. The Gippsland Decommissioning Campaign #1 Project involves the removal of up to 13 offshore platforms, starting in 2027. The project aims to dismantle approximately 60,000 tonnes of offshore structures, with a goal to recycle more than 95% of the materials recovered. ABL Australia has been contracted to provide marine warranty survey services, which include suitability surveys, technical review and approval of decommissioning documentation, and offshore attendance during warranted operations. The campaign is considered a landmark for Australia's offshore industry due to its complexity and the substantial tonnage of assets involved.
