Brent Charlie: End of an Era 

I had the privilege of working with many of Brent's OIM's as an Emergency Response and Crises Management instructor at RGIT. We did all the OIM assessments, plus Fire-team training for those guys. A great bunch of characters, and am still in touch with one or two them even today. The end of an era I guess.

It's an absolute privilege to have been part of this team

I’ve hated my experience for over 30 years I was on the Charlie and Bravo over 30 years ago I’ll never forget climbing down the leg to the gas tight floor with a BA set to maintain the instruments…. Shitting my self coz if anything happened top side you were 15 mins up the vertical ladders fighting the deluge that would inevitably and automatically been set off… so we all knew in an emergency it was most likely a one way trip That’s why they sent us young daft youngsters down there😉 Watching this video was very cathartic and redeeming 😘

I am just decommissioning the pipes on the sea bed. Few more weeks left on this Historical place . Stay blessed and grateful for what it provided

I worked on the Charlie in the 80's and 90's, for various contractors, as I recall there was a sign as you came off the helideck announcing "Welcome to Shell..." underneath someone had written "we take the hair off a dead man's balls" that sums up Shell far better than any public relations video, impressive though this one is.

could you guys make a video on the attrocities you guys have caused? Let's say, Nigeria 1950s?

Really amazing to see the history behind the Brent fields and the sentiments attached to the rigs.

So amazing. Happy that we did this and happy we don't need it anymore.

Working at the bottom of column 4 wasn't particularly glamorous but will never forget the experience!!.shuttling wasn't that great either!!.some beast though and will never forget!!!.

Thanks a lot for this informative and amazing video.@shell

Happy to have been part of Brent Charlie

Went to see this rig in Teesside today, getting dismantled. Walked nearly right up to it, humongous!

thanks so much

Well Done offshore guyz..Amazing project...Fact no more crude...

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing Story

@gary Craig Sorry darling,thank you engineers for all you do to give humanity a good life.i wish you a speedy recovery.love you😘😘

I also work in the oil field ,but not on a platform It’s a very dangerous occupation sea or land I’ve had two very close calls because of other people not paying attention to the people around them and one very close call I should have been cut in half because of stupidity Just before all of that I got blown off of a Frac pump and cost me a total hip replacement I still work in the oil field as a field supervisor

I visited Brent C a few times while it was being built. I remember it as an amazing hive of chaotic activity. To be frank, it wasn't the safest of places! I wonder if the aerials I put on the top of one of the modules were there at the end. Putting them up there was a frightening experience. Lying on my stomach on the roof in a howling gale, lashing rain and hail, a soldering iron in my hand on a massive extension cable (yes!) and limited time in case I was going to miss the helicopter!

"All great things do have to come to a natural end." for sure sir, for sure ..

Proud to say I worked on the Brent C. I was involved in installing the H2s line from under deck up to the flare stack and installing the caisson riser slip tube. Fantastic rope access jobs.

Good film

I served on all 4 as a medic but mostly on the Delta sad to see them gone.

Many Times i Worked around there Followed the Semac Laying Pipelines

Now the moment you all been waiting for time to scrap Charlie. Charlie like Delta and Bravo is made of concrete so removing it will be easy compared to Alpha where they scrapped the whole rig including the jacket. For this lift the Pioneer Spirit will come under it and cut the legs then 32 hydraulic rams will close and lift the rig off its legs. Once the rig is removed the boat will do a 180 turn and four stainless steel covers will be placed over the legs and a hose will be attached to fill them with sand and concrete while pumping out any oil that remains inside. Once the legs are secure the Pioneer Spirit departs for Glasgow Scotland where the rig is transferred to the Iron Lady. the Iron Lady then heads down the Forth River to Harpole and the rig is sold for scrap bringing an end to 4 decades of oil production on the North Sea.

20 lives lost in work related accidents??? What about Chinook tragedy.wasnt that work related?? I spent several years on Charlie,and was very close to this incident,never be forgotten. Also the way some shell employees treated contract workforce was nothing short of disgracefull,the n.r.b.(not required back)culture was very much alive,people losing their livelihoods because the face didn't fit.

Yep remember this one.

Installing these massive platforms and producing hydrocarbons is a mighty impressive engineering feat..

Marvelous engineering Shell 👍🏻👍🏻

Best oil supermajor. 👍

Now they make an other sort Waterstoffabrieken ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Shell si exelent.i like me.

2:10 is that the P82 getting launched? Peter Ball still around? Mike Miskimming?

How about having air for tyre inflation! Not leaving me with a flat. You can do this but can't have reliable air pumps.

Why is this so entraining to watch

Boa noite por favor qual tipo de óleo do câmbio do gol geração 5 motor 1.0 obrigado Rodolfo

Great movie. I was lucky enough to be part of the installation team at Stord Fjord and then offshore in 1978. Fantastic experience.

it was built to solve the energy crisis, but now dismantle we are now in another energy crisis

First to check video 😃

Простым рабочим можно у вас устроится работать на платформу ?

I remember I was working on a hook-up on the Tiffany. On the Borgland Dolphin I was get getting rocked head to foot in my bunk. Good times.

Are these wells dry?

Call Companyman to tap the well

I remember Deek....you saw it through to the end mate.....had some of the best laughs of my life on Charlie...it wasnt just a job....it was an exclusive lifestyle....you were lucky to be on there...Brent C ....the platform that spawned a 1000 characters....(pssst i was always known as Dino then)

My wee dad worked on this for a long time( Sam Armstrong)

My dad worked on the Brent Charlie as a spark.

Fourth to check video

Third to check video

pick me up shell ill edit out the rubber snappers for you at 5:52 , otherwise i love the video!

Boa tarde pessoal. Não possuo mais o número de telefone que fiz o cadastro no aplicativo do Shell Box e não consigo recuperar minha conta. Como posso acessar as configurações da conta e mudar o telefone cadastrado? Atenciosamente, Denis

Eu sou um cliente da shell que estou muito triste e aborrecido com a shell e se tiver alguma pessoa responsável favor entrar em contato comigo…

Antalya da otogaz fiyatınız 6.41 tl olmuş neden bu kadar pahalı. Uçakmı kullanıyoruz

Thank god it’s over

Nevermind building a nuclear power plant. Let’s build a drilling rig on the moon!

Record profits this quarter . Imagine that …

Sir i need this job

I want to work this company as a pipe welder smaw..

I will always have more respect for the old timer than this generation.

Best thing about shell was the Christmas parties for us kids at the offices in Aberdeen

Not gonna lie....Genevieve is a babe!

I'll be back

end of era!?!? hahahah! we still need that petrol for decades!

😭😭

If you find out what the news

💕😂😇💕

Does Russian oil smell like Ukrainian blood?

Gaji gak sama padahal CO

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba hit out at the energy company, asking on Twitter: "Doesn't Russian oil smell Ukrainian blood for you?"

so whats next? no more brent? or this is just the platform?

Your proven safe oil off shore an your oil is Georgia oil field the four platform of new Orleans move to Georgia oil field as future oil line 🎉

Sri Lankan you systems not work like a bom

Shell could save itself all stupid advertising if their gas stations were just a little more customer-friendly. Unfortunately, there are always annoyances at your petrol station chain. It is not a company that deserves the sympathy of motorists. It is noticeable that other companies such as OMV, Esso, BP, Agip etc. are much more customer-friendly, as everyone can easily see for themselves.

To be honest, wouldn't it be better for energy companies to directly produce eco-friendly gasoline rather than electric vehicles? I think you can make it. Even if the charging time of an electric vehicle is reduced, it is likely to break down, the electricity may be cut off, and even if a driverless car is made, the computer is not secure, but it is a car security problem..

Wrong not just food but massage to

⛔the blood of Ukrainians is on your hands!⛔

Los combustibles Shell en España vienen con la certificación ROM en 98 y 95 octanos. Quisiera saber la calidad de combustibles Shell en España en 98 y 95 octanos medida en MOM. MICHAS GRACIAS

สวัสดีครับ 《《satanic ointments 》》

doesn’t Russian oil smell Ukrainian blood for you?

PROPAGANDA

Nice job wasting metal to pollute the plant

Thanks for ruining the planet!

You guys should be trialed for crimes against humanity

i was just watching the other 1

Worked on Charlie from first export till retirement as Shell staffer, lost a few pals over the years, probably for me the worst year was 1986 in November with the Chinook tragedy which is engrained on my heart for ever, sad to see the end of the Charlie, really miss all the people, but that's life. pity we ex Brent Shell staff were not given some memento to remind us of our effort on the Charlie.

La aplicación de Shell box es una porquería no funciona

Great video. Amazing engineering feat

If you fall Sri Lanka

Great project. Just shows what we can do when we set our mind to it.
