Case Study: Worley helps Shell complete Appomattox flare tip replacement with Conbit’s offshore engineering and execution

Worley completes Appomattox flare tip replacement 80 miles offshore with Conbit

The customer, Worley, on behalf of Shell, faced the complex challenge of replacing a flare tip on the Appomattox offshore platform, which required meticulous planning due to the platform's inclined boom and the presence of hazardous mercury. The vendor, Conbit, was contracted to deliver engineering, project preparation, and offshore execution for this flare tip replacement service.

Conbit implemented a solution using its modular gantry system combined with winches and a tugger line to safely transfer loads and enable precise positioning. The vendor also developed a robust HSE strategy with the client to manage mercury risks. This approach allowed Conbit to successfully complete the project, demonstrating their expertise in innovative lifting solutions and commitment to safe, efficient project delivery in a complex offshore environment.
