Injecting 45 Years of New Life

When the Dan Bravo Complex came on stream in 1972, the facility – Denmark’s first producing offshore oil field – was expected to produce for 25 years. Now, thanks to a complex, multi-year subsea structural reinforcement campaign involving the installation of 136 tonnes of new steel, over more than 200 diving days, the life of the complex’s wellhead platform, Dan A, is expected to be nearly trebled to total 70 years when the work is finalized.  The structural overhaul of the Dan A platform’s jacket, undertaken by Dutch offshore contractor Boskalis, in close
