Decommissioning is a pivotal step in the energy life cycle. As the industry evolves into new energy opportunities, it is important that decommissioning activities are executed in a safe, environmentally sound and cost-effective manner.

There is a real opportunity for the energy supply chain to influence how late-life assets are managed, and how the future of decommissioning shapes the energy mix as we move into the next era of energy production and storage.

It is estimated that around one million tonnes of topsides from the North Sea region will be coming onshore over the next decade, presenting a significant pipeline of opportunity for the supply chain to drive down total cost for the basin.

The Time is Now

The OEUK Decommissioning Insight Report 2021 stated £16.6 billion was set to be spent on decommissioning – an increase from £15.1 billion the previous year. Investment and drive from the industry has ensured decommissioning projects have remained resilient throughout the pandemic.

THREE60 Energy CEO Walter Thain chairs the OEUK Decommissioning Steering Group. He comments: “As part of the OEUK steering group, our focus is to maximise economic recovery of North Sea resources while also incorporating low-carbon considerations and technology – to make sure decommissioning is aligned to the energy transition.

“THREE60 Energy’s ability to export and import skills to support late life management, decommissioning planning and execution around the world has positioned us well for growth and investment.”
