| Date | 2003 - 2005 |
| Extent | 1 CD |
| Creator Name | Total |
| Description | Running time: 10 minutes 5 seconds. Colour video of the decommissioning works on CDP1 and MCP-01. The first 2 minutes 45 seconds shows lifting work on CDP1, beginning with night filming and ending with evening filming. A similar technique is used when the focus shifts to MCP-01. From 2.45 to 5.40, it shows welding and the radio tower being removed at night. From then until 8.40 is daylight footage of the helipad's removal onto the support vessel. Following on to the end of the film is footage of the control room on the support vessel. It ends with a long shot of MCP-01 at night with the barge moving off into the distance. The filming took place over the course of many weeks on each platform and shows part of the topsides removals. It is intended as an overview of the work carried out, as each segment provides a snapshot of the operation being recorded, rather than detailed progress or explanation of the operation. There is no commentary; the video is accompanied by a specially-composed music soundtrack.
The CD contains two copies, one letterbox and one fullscreen; the digital version is letterbox only. |
