A former international hill, road and cross-country runner, with almost 40 years’ experience in offshore engineering and construction, I have been responsible for leading, managing or engineering a wide variety of projects from initial concept and feasibility through completion of installation and close out. Since the mid 1980’s I have been involved in various stages of decommissioning ranging from initial study work through to offshore execution.Since April 2006, I have focussed on decommissioning assets such platforms, pipelines, floating storage units in the North Sea and east Irish Sea, with work ranging from the iconic Brent Field installations through to a variety of smaller southern North Sea and east Irish Sea assets. These include single well subsea tie-backs through to Normally Unattended Installations and pipelines, predominantly concerning UK, NL and cross-border assets and all the complications that these bring.I supply my consultancy services and expertise through Laptech Limited, www.laptech.co.uk where you can find my CV as well as a couple of downloads relevant to the preparation of Decommissioning Programmes and Comparative Assessments. I must have compiled over 30 Decommissioning Programmes, several of which are accompanied by my own brand of Comparative Assessments (having authored over 20 and I have become very efficient at doing so. Please feel free to use the downloads, but if you do, please give me credit. Thanks.
