Overview

EnerMech supported ExxonMobil with the decommissioning of the deepwater Hoover–Diana asset in the Gulf of Mexico, delivering an integrated, multi‑service campaign under one contract. Our approach reduced complexity, improved efficiency, and ensured the full scope was completed safely and in line with regulatory requirements. The project now serves as a strong example of our capability in managing complex offshore decommissioning

Key Highlights:

  • Delivered 10+ integrated services under one contract, reducing contractor interfaces and simplifying project management.

  • Enabled simultaneous operations, shortening project duration and offshore exposure.

  • Achieved zero incidents, with all work completed safely and on schedule.

  • Ensured full regulatory compliance through efficient chemical cleaning, filtration, and environmental controls.

  • Established a replicable model for future deepwater decommissioning in the Gulf of Mexico and emerging offshore markets like Guyana.
