Wood Group has received a contract to support Shell in the decommissioning of the Brent Bravo platform in the North Sea.
Effective immediately, Wood Group will prepare the platform for removal via single lift methodology. This includes conductor removal, structural strengthening and installation of under deck lift points, in addition to the modifications required to enable the platform to operate on minimum manning mode.
