Fields that were installed decades ago are now heading into late life and decommissioning. The original identification has often fouled over or fallen off, exactly when clear marking matters most: for integrity inspection, for planning, and for the survey and debris-clearance work that removal requires.
The challenge
Decommissioning is a concurrent, tightly-planned activity across subsurface, subsea and topsides. Structures are cut and recovered, and the seabed is surveyed to identify and recover remaining debris, a regulatory requirement in most jurisdictions. All of that goes faster and safer when assets are clearly identified. On an ageing field, they frequently are not.
How Aquasign helps
Retrofit fixings let divers or ROVs re-mark assets in place, without recovery, restoring legible identification across an ageing field. Because the marker then stays legible, it supports integrity inspection now and the decommissioning survey later.
- Diver and ROV-friendly retrofit re-marking of existing assets in the field.
- Legible identification that supports integrity management through late life.
- Clear marking that speeds decommissioning planning, survey and debris clearance.

We will help you restore legible identification in place, ready for integrity work and decommissioning.
