Why attend?

Decommissioning represents a vital and strategic phase in the lifecycle of every oil and gas asset. As assets reach the end of their productive life and infrastructure around the world reaches maturity, the industry has a responsibility and an opportunity to apply proven processes that ensure wells are safely, efficiently and sustainably decommissioned while associated infrastructure is managed responsibly in line with appropriate environmental standards.

With more than 50 years of operational experience in the North Sea, Scotland is globally recognised as a leader in oil and gas decommissioning. The UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), one of the world’s first mature basins to undertake decommissioning at scale, has driven the development of advanced capabilities, robust standards and a highly competent supply chain.

This webinar will discuss the decom value chain, the Scottish companies developing expertise, and the steps required for a successful process.

Key learnings:

  • The stages of decom and the Scottish companies delivering these services
  • The global demand for Scottish decom expertise
  • Why decom must be factored into the planning of all new energy projects
  • Market opportunities for decom services in renewables and CCUS
