Chevron Awards Decommissioning Contract to InterMoor

Chevron Corporation’s (CVX) subsidiary, Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production Ltd. (CTEP), awarded a decommissioning contract to InterMoor, an Acteon brand. Post the successful completion of the decommissioning scope of work in the Gulf of Thailand in 2021, Chevron extended the contract by including additional packages for the disconnection and removal of pipelines.

The extended contract includes project management, engineering, procurement and offshore execution; disconnection and removal of pipelines; disconnection and removal of single point mooring (SPM) and corresponding subsea infrastructure; and topside modifications work.

Much like the first phase, InterMoor will use cutting tools from its sister company, Claxton. UTEC intends to supply the survey spread and Aquatic will provide the equipment for recovering subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines.
