Multi-Nozzle Abrasive Water Jet for Oil and Gas Platforms Decommissioning: A Review

Decommissioning offshore platforms present unique safety and health challenges to the oil gas industry. In Malaysian waters, there are over 300 fixed jacket platforms, most of them exceeded design service life 25 30 years. One key that determine method removal aged is subsea cutting techniques. As underwater a challenging expensive task, it very much essential develop cost-effective techniques for decommissioning platforms. Thus, objective this paper state art on Abrasive Water Jet (AWJ) by identifying significant parameters affecting performance output measures Jacket applications. process complex times consuming tasks, identifies research gaps recommends new areas in Multi Nozzles (MN-AWJ) Many AWJ why an in-depth critical review was adopted manuscript need be considered optimization performance.
