The Brent Field Rigs

The Brent field was an oil and gas field located in the East Shetland Basin of the North Sea, 186 kilometres (116 mi) north-east of Lerwick in the Shetland Islands, Scotland, at a water depth of 140 metres (460 ft). The field operated by Shell UK Limited was discovered in 1971 and was once one of the most productive parts of the UK's offshore assets but has reached the stage where production is no longer economically viable All platforms have now been decommissioned and removed, Brent Delta in 2017. Brent Bravo in 2019, Brent Alpha in 2020 and Brent Charlie finally in 2024. The Brent Delta was the height of the London Eye and had a platform deck space about the same size as a football pitch. Weighing 24,000 tonnes, it had been home to 160 people and stood in 140m of water. After 5 years planning in April 2017 the 382m long lifting vessel Pioneering Spirit slid under the Brent Delta topside and lifted it off its 3 concrete legs in only 10 seconds. The ship then took 5 days to carry the platform 700km south to Hartlepool where it was dismantled.
