GDI land Decommissioning contract with North Sea Operator

Aberdeen headquartered company GDI have recently announced a successful contract award through competitive tender for the provision of services to support a decommissioning project with a North Sea operator. 

Located on the city’s Queens Road and with a growing staff base of over 60 employees, GDI provide efficient technology and safety driven solutions to their clients. Their philosophy is to leverage technology in order to reduce cost and manpower requirements and increase safety and quality.  

GDi contend that they stand out from the conventional laser scanning and engineering service providers as their technology-led approach is delivering solutions which enhance visualisation, optimise design/engineering and offer a unique and powerful inspection technology. 

Gareth McIntyre, R&D Director at GDI commented on the recent contract success: “The ability to execute planning, engineering and inspection projects without mobilising any personnel to facilities is disrupting conventional procedures and delivers massive efficiencies and opportunities to the decom sector.”

GDI’s partnership with the Oil and Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) has underlined their commitment to innovation and their goal to disrupt conventional business models from the mainstream service companies and  this recent contract success is another example of how their strategy is delivering results.  

A report launched by Oil and Gas UK (OGUK) last year illustrated the potential growth of the decommissioning sector. It noted that decommissioning oil and gas infrastructure represents almost a tenth of the oil and gas industries overall expenditure and will cost around £15.3 billion over the next decade.

GDI feel they are the perfect fit for this ever-expanding market as their approach and philosophy
present a significant opportunity for operators, in an environment where constrained operations and budgets are in place.
