CASE STUDY: BP OIL SPILL

In April 2010 the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded, resulting in the largest accidental oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. After the explosion, the riser pipe connecting the rig to the seabed well head remained attached.

The pipe needed removing as quickly as possible so the well head could be capped, but this required expert machinery as the steel pipe was 350mm in diameter and beneath one mile of sea water.

US-based engineers working on the job were using the Genesis XP, the most powerful shear cutter in the world, to cut the pipe, and stated that only Tyzack blades were of a quality that would be up to the extreme cutting required.

The Genesis XP, fitted with the Tyzack blades, and a full hydraulic power pack were lowered into the sea. Via an internet video link-up, engineers all over the world were able to watch as the Tyzack blades cut through the pipe and enabled the capping-off process to be completed successfully.
