Case Study - Tourmaline Oil Corp: Black Conroy Decommissioning

Overview

The Black Conroy project is one of many decommissioning programs we've completed on behalf of Tourmaline, we've been a strategic partner in asset retirement since 2020. Project tasks included the removal of fluids from tankage and vessels onsite, pigging and purging of pipeline systems, deactivation of well site infrastructure that was left in varying states prior to demolition and disposal of all surface infrastructure and removal of piles from the sites.

Key Metrics

• efficient project co-ordination with external vendors and Tourmaline personnel to perform the scope of work
• successful supervision of a small and efficient crew, 6000 hours and 49 days without incident
• removal of over 800 pilings with minimal ground disturbance/impact

To perform the scope of work, Resolve utilized the following list of heavy equipment, the bulk of which was owned and operated by Resolve staff:

• 300 Series Excavator with Shear
• Tri-Drive Combo Unit
• 250 Series with Powerhead Attachment
• 299D Cat Skidsteer for internal pipe cutting & removal
• Tridem Tractor & Trailer for Equipment Mob/Demob.
• Tandem Tractors w/t Super B Demo Trailers
• 550 Series Crew Trucks equipped with pickers
• Air Compressors, Pressure Tank, & Flare

Consistent communication with the client and the Resolve team ensured all parties were up-to-date with the project. These discussions provided a platform for promptly spotting and addressing any difficulties or concerns.
