The decommissioning market report (2008 update)

Over the next two decades the offshore industry will begin to decommission many of the installations that have been producing oil and gas in the North Sea. This will include small and large steel platforms, subsea and floating equipment.

This report outlines the drivers, key legislation, processes, market values and planned projects that will help Scottish companies identify and evaluate the opportunities.

Nuclear decommissioning opportunities

In conjunction with the Department for business, enterprise and regulatory reform we commissioned Sinclair Knight Merz to carry out a study reviewing the civil nuclear opportunities available in the nuclear industry with respect to the decommissioning of redundant facilities on both a United Kingdom and global basis.

The main objectives of the work were to:

• quantify the potential market for nuclear decommissioning services
• identify the strengths and weaknesses of the UK industry currently servicing the nuclear decommissioning market
• identify other main industries in the UK whose existing skills and experience are transferable and can capitalise upon these opportunities
• highlight the areas in which some development of the current capability is required to realise the potential benefits to these organisations and the UK economy
