Oil and gas decommissioning reports

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.

Oil and gas decommissioning opportunity review

This report was commissioned by our energy team and produced by Douglas-Westwood Limited and the TCS Partnership in June 2005. Its objectives are to review the opportunities associated with the market for the decommissioning of North Sea offshore fields.

In this report we identify some 40 different activities involved in decommissioning and the Scottish supply chain has the capability to address much of the associated market, from insurance to inspection, from project management to public relations, from safety assessments to subsea contracting.

To many suppliers decommissioning will be a business sector with which they are unfamiliar. We recognise that the reader may not be in the supply sector, but perhaps in finance, the public sector or indeed may be an operator.

This report assumes no reader knowledge of the subject, and endeavours to provide a detailed briefing for these different user groups.
