“…Complete removal may not be technically feasible or may pose risks to diver personnel that exceed acceptable conditions. If the integrity of the platform is sufficient, the platform can be lifted and transported to shore or a reef site; otherwise, the toppled structure will have to be cut and removed in pieces, or dismantled in a manner that satisfies clearance requirements (Kaiser and Kasprzak, 2008).…”

The oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico has the greatest weather exposure in the world, and is vulnerable to a range of losses that include physical damage, destruction, business interruption, and pollution liability. During the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, a number of offshore facilities, drilling rigs, and pipelines were destroyed and extensively damaged. In total, Hurricanes Ivan, Katrina, and Rita destroyed 122 structures and severely damaged 76 others. Owners of destroyed assets are faced with a difficult decision: Should the property be abandoned along with its remaining reserves or should the asset be redeveloped? The purpose of this three-part series is to examine the destroyed infrastructure from the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons and the likely contribution this collection of assets would have made to future production in the Gulf of Mexico. In Part 1, we describe the weather risk that operators encounter and review the factors that are involved in redevelopment decisions. The impact of the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons on the infrastructure and production in the Gulf of Mexico are summarized.

“…Complete removal may not be technically feasible or may pose unacceptable risks to divers. If the integrity of the platform is sufficient, the platform can be lifted and transported to shore or a reef site [8]; otherwise, the toppled structure will be cut and removed in pieces, or dismantled in a manner that satisfies site clearance requirements.…”

“…7 Namely, the redevelopment rates of destroyed structures due to Hurricanes Ivan, Katrina, and Rita which passed through the GOM in 2004-2005. 8 When an exponential curve is fit to the last production year of a structure, positive reserves are calculated. The forecast models employed in this analysis are mostly based on best-fit life cycle curves referenced to peak or truncated profiles, which occur earlier in the life cycle of the structure, and inevitably result in smaller reserves estimates.…”
