Flexible Flowlines

Many miles of flexible flowlines, risers and umbilicals play an important role in oil and gas production in the North Sea. During field decommissioning programmes these items need recovered and brought ashore.

Project Summary

Over the past decade, we have brought ashore thousands of tonnes of flexible flowlines, risers and umbilicals at ports across Scotland. We have successfully developed processing methods that result in high recovery and recycling rates of the metallic and non-metallic content.

The predominately mechanical recycling process involves separating the various metallic and non-metallic layers of flowlines and umbilicals. Each layer is systematically removed and the component parts sorted for recycling.

Plastic materials are transferred to authorised recycling contractors for further processing before being made into new products. The separated metal content is processed at one of our metal recycling facilities to ESSS standard, before being exported to European steel mills for recycling into new steel products, delivering significant environmental benefits.

We are the largest metal recycler and exporter of processed metal in North and North-East Scotland and an experienced member of the decommissioning supply chain. With current strategically located licensed facilities in Aberdeen, Shetland, Evanton and Montrose, and the addition of our new quayside facility in Dundee opening in 2020 bringing our combined annual licensed tonnage to 360,000 tonnes, we are your decommissioning partner of choice.
