Load in of the Valhall QP jacket, Pioneering Spirit

Pioneering Spirit delivers the Valhall QP jacket to Aker Solutions’ decommissioning facilities in Stord, Norway. Weighing only 3800 t, the QP topsides is the lightest that Allseas’ record-breaking vessel has lifted to date. Removal of the QP topsides is the first job for Pioneering Spirit under the frame agreement which Allseas signed with Aker BP in 2017 to provide transport, installation and removal services for the Valhall oil field. The Valhall complex is located approximately 280 km off the Norwegian coast and comprises six steel, bridge-connected platforms that stand in 70 m of water. The QP topsides is the first of the original structures to be removed from the field centre as a key part of the modernising of the Valhall area. The lift successfully concludes two years of engineering, planning and pre-lift preparations, which ended last month with the installation of lift rigging for the bridge and cutting of the platform legs. The castellated cut shape, combined with pre-installed custom made leg restraints, prevented any possible topsides movement prior to the lift.
