Case Study - Canadian Natural: Milligan Wildmint Decommissioning

Overview

Resolve completed the deactivation and decommissioning of compressor stations, wellsites, and pipelines. The scope of work included pigging and purging pipelines, removal of fluids from from the facilities, and full removal of surface and subsurface infrastructure from the sites. On-site challenges included coordinating work with well abandonment and remediation contractors to ensure work could be completed in a safe and efficient manner.

Key Metrics

• successful supervision of 14-24 personnel, 28000 hours and 92 days with no incidents
• efficient management of 12 service vendors to perform the scope of work
• on time completion of all items in the project scope

A key to the success of this large project was the successful deployment and operation of Resolve assets, including:

• 350 Series Excavator
• Tri-Drive Combo Unit
• 290 Series with Powerhead Attachment
• 299D Cat Skidsteer for internal pipe cutting & removal
• Tridem Tractor & Trailer for Equipment Mob/Demob.
• Tridem Dump Trailers & Air Compressors
• 550 Series Crew Trucks equipped with pickers
• Air Compressors, Pressure Tank, & Flare

The above-mentioned equipment is all owned by Resolve Energy Solutions, and the rental of Excavators was only performed when resources were limited due to multiple concurrent tasks ongoing throughout the project.
