Hydraulic Shears

Hydraulic Shears will be operated by certified Gulfstream Services Inc. Technicians

Currently the GSI global hydraulic tooling fleet consists of 26 workable shears and grapples.

Hydraulic Shears

Gulfstream Services offers a variety of Hydraulic Shears for numerous applications within the oil and gas industry. This includes platform removal, pipeline removal, slot recovery, chain cutting, wire rope cutting, dock salvage, barge salvage and well blow out intervention.

The 5 sizes of hydraulic shears owned by Gulfstream Services provide a durable and cost-effective salvage advantage during decommissioning, minimizing vessel costs and diver exposure. Shear cutting is also free of blade consumable cost.

OSS 20 is a 20-ton universal shear that is utilized for surface and subsurface decommissioning of platform decks, jackets, conductors, pipelines, docks, bridges, anchor chain, mooring cable, and riser pipe.

OCC 20 is a 20-ton shear that is specifically geared to cut multi-string grouted casing.

OSS 7 shear weighs just over 7 tons, allowing access to tight areas and the use of smaller cranes. The OSS 7 is used in shearing platform structure, pipelines, surface production tubing, casing, anchor chain, mooring cable and riser pipe.

TSS 2 is on the smaller end of the hydraulic tooling arsenal. It allows access to tight areas and the use of smaller cranes. The TSS 2 is used in shearing platform structure, pipelines, surface production tubing and casing.

TSS 05 is the smallest hydraulic shear in the Gulfstream fleet. At 1,100# the tool may be handled easier by a diver and powered by a ROV. A smaller footprint allows access to tighter areas and may be suspended by smaller cranes. The TSS 05 may be used to cut platform structure, pipelines, wire rope, coiled tubing and surface production tubing.

Cutting Capabilities: Up to 3½” tubing or 4” Schedule 40 Structure
Other sizes and grades are able to be cut, contact Offshore Services for details.

All of Gulfstream Services’ shears come with five positioning slings that reduce top-side rig down time and allows subsurface angles to be manipulated more closely - regardless of a horizontal or vertical cut.
Each shear comes with a Gulfstream Services maintenance program and 24/7 onsite technical support.
