single anchor leg mooring (SALM).


Complete removal of two single buoy moorings offshore Sarawak (SBM1 and

SBM2) in 15m water depth.


Ketam was installed in 1984 and ceased production 1997. The platform was

totally removed in 2003 and disposed of onshore. The pipeline was left in-situ.
Baram 8 , tripod, was installed in 1968 and was hit by storm waves in 1975 and

all production ceased. The platform was partially removed in 2005 and the jacket designated as an artificial reef. The pipeline was left in-situ. 2010-12: In Sabah EMP-SM4, SMV-A, EWV-A & Sarawak BAV-A Vent Structure

Brunei Decommissioning 1: Summary


During three decades of operating offshore, BSP have removed about 30 redundant

structures. Between 1975 and 1984, all the redundant structures were either brought onshore for scrapping or disposed of by deep water dumping in international waters after bringing the topsides onshore. With the instigation of the rigs to reef policy in August 1988, BSP started disposing of the redundant structures as artificial reefs in an area well outside commercial shipping lanes. 1988: Two redundant offshore oil platforms were placed on the seabed northwest of the original tyre reef at Two Fathom Rocks This programme is the first in the Asian region where redundant oil platforms were made into intentionally built artificial rig reefs. 1994: A second "Rig Reef" made up of five redundant jackets was built at Two Fathom Rocks

The most recent removals concern structures located in water depths ranging from 16m to 60m and with jackets weighing between 85 and 165 tonnes. These structures are: Ampa Field: SWA-7, SWA-8, SWA-9, SWA-18, SWA-35, SWA-150, AMVJ-2, AMPP-2 Champion Field: CPVJ-1(A), CPVJ-7/11 Fairley Field: FAVJ-1 (0) In 1994, a total of five redundant structures were removed and their jackets used to extend the artificial reef located in the Two Fathom Rock Area. Three of these installations, SWA-8, AMVJ-2 and SWA-35, were removed in April 1994. Two others, SWA-7 and SWA-9, were disposed of between July/August 1994.
