Our Value Proposition
Your Cost Effective One-Stop-Shop
The UKCS (United Kingdom Continental Shelf) has the oldest average asset age, and many of the structures offshore the UK have been producing oil and gas for almost 40 years and are now coming to the end of their useful life. In fact, 285 platforms are anticipated to be removed from the UKCS from 2016-2040.
At Dräger, we know that delivering a decommissioning project on time and on budget, and preferably at the lowest possible cost, is the single largest driver to unlock the value remaining in a late life asset.
We also understand that late life production operations, preparation for cessation of production and ultimate decommissioning are all elements of the same programme for operators.
Finally, we fundamentally believe that innovation can play a big role in achieving a drastic reduction in costs to remain profitable in late life, and also in delivering decommissioning in a more cost effective manner.
Our value proposition for the decommissioning market is:
Dräger can be your cost effective, one-stop-shop complete safety solution provider (including flexible hire options) for any protection & detection equipment, fire, rescue & safety products, and all related services such as maintenance, repair, and training.

Wireless and redeployable hydrocarbon detection
GS01
Reliable single-beam, triple-wavelength MEMS IR technology ensuring lifetime detection stability, with no need for re-calibration
SIL2 capable - SIL2 approval covers hardware, software and wireless communication, for seamless integration into safety instrumented systems
SafeWireless™ communication combines short 5 sec response time with low power operation and safe handling of data packets
Truly wireless, no cables - Ultra-low power consumption of 5 mW on average achieves a typical battery life of 24 months
Up to 60~80% savings on total project cost due to reduced engineering; wiring, installation and documentation demand
Intrinsic safety approval allows field-replaceable battery packs
Challenge 1: Ensuring safety in late life (when existing gas detecting instrumentation is obsolete) or while decommissioning (when fixed gas detection has to be taken offline)
What if your installation is in its last year of production, or in the subsequent period when production of hydrocarbons has ceased but the platform remains ‘live’ with hydrocarbons still present and power and utilities still operational?
At some point, existing instrumentation has to be taken offline while hazards might still be present. So a wireless system can act as a flexible intermediate solution to close this loophole in an efficient way.
Or you may have multiple assets about to be decommissioned, and you want a temporary (or even redeployable) system fit for purpose based on your reduced hydrocarbon risk profile, as wells have been plugged and abandoned.
Introducing the GasSecure GS01, the world’s first truly wireless SIL2 capable hydrocarbon detector!
- Innovative single-beam, triple-wavelength MEMS IR detector technology ensures lifetime stability, with no need for re-calibration
- Typical battery life of 24 months and field-replaceable battery packs
- Gateways communicate via Modbus/TCP or PROFINET (PROFIsafe for SIL2), so they can be integrated into existing systems, and existing cables can be used for gateways

Simultaneous and
continuous measurementChallenge 2: Monitoring during decommissioning preparation or tank cleaning.
Depending on what the asset’s removal strategy is, there may be a need for flushing and nitrogen purging, as you need absolute cleanliness before cutting with a naked flame offshore.
Dräger’s detection instruments can be used by production and operations personnel, while they are gas detecting before the cleaning and dismantling contractors come onboard.
For example, benzene will be present in any tanks and vessels that need to be cleaned, and Dräger is the world leader in the analysis of gases and vapours.
Dräger Benzene 0.5/C Tubes and the Dräger Accuro gas detector pump can detect benzene even in the presence of other hydrocarbons such as toluene or xylene, as they utilise a scrubbing tube, which removes all interfering gases, and leaves strictly benzene.
Dräger X-am® 7000, the solution for the simultaneous and continuous measurement of up to five gases. It is the ideal companion in a variety of applications where the reliable detection of oxygen, toxic and combustible gases and vapours are necessary.

Experience no breathing resistance
Challenge 3: Respiratory protection for persons on board (from production and cleaning to waste management and demolition)
Dräger’s personal protection equipment may be used by the personnel or contractors whose job is to ensure that ensure that the installation is hydrocarbon and hazard-free during the CoP and clean up phases (by cleaning tanks and vessels for instance) or those who will be dismantling the topsides during the destruct phase, or those who will handle waste management.
We have a huge range of respiratory protection equipment including breathing apparatus sets, Air Line systems, and chemical protective clothing, which includes:
Dräger PAS Colt, flexible and user-friendly, fully approved for use in applications requiring either short duration entry units, airline emergency escape breathing apparatus, or dual function.
Dräger PAS AirPack 1, for long duration breathing air combined with high mobility. Chemical tank cleaning, toxic spillages or certain tasks when working on offshore installations are all made easier and more comfortable when using the PAS AirPack 1.
Introducing the Dräger constant flow disposable suit SPC 3700 with the unique vest CVA 0700. The liquid-tight protective suit (Type 3) protects the wearer from contact with chemicals and allows greater movement, while the innovative vest provides the necessary breathing and ventilation air for a pleasant cooling effect.
The user is no longer dependent on bulky masks or heavy equipment such as an SCBA and no longer has to experience breathing resistance!
