Offshore oil and gas installations will eventually reach the end of their operating life.
However, decommissioning is not simply the final activity in an offshore project. It is a complex process that involves regulation, planning, engineering, cost estimation, stakeholder management, removal and long-term liability.
It can also involve significant expenditure with no direct commercial return. Therefore, early planning and informed decision-making are essential for controlling cost, reducing risk and achieving a safe project close-out.
SEMARAK Training’s Decommissioning of Offshore Installations programme provides a complete view of the decommissioning journey. It covers late-life operations through planning, preparation, execution and final close-out.
Build the Knowledge to Manage Decommissioning with Confidence
Decommissioning decisions can affect project cost, schedule, safety, regulatory compliance and organisational reputation.
Over three days, participants will follow the journey of a typical offshore field. The programme begins during the late-life stage and continues through early planning, preparation, removal and close-out.
Participants will also take part in exercises to develop a decommissioning strategy, schedule and cost estimate for a typical field.
