Perdido Hydraulic Cylinder Replacement

Conbit was contracted by Shell to replace eight hydraulic stabilization cylinders on the Perdido SPAR platform, a critical task to maintain platform stability and safe offshore oil production. The project was divided into two campaigns, with the first phase covering four cylinders. Each unit weighed around five tons and was installed in hard-to-reach locations beyond the reach of the platform crane, requiring a specialized lifting and rigging approach. Conbit carried out detailed site assessments and developed a comprehensive engineering plan to streamline offshore operations and reduce time spent on location.
