Initiatives for Impact:

  • 1. Late Life Management
  • Impact of Digital Transformation, Robotics and Automation on Late Life

Management including Decommissioning and Abandonment

Background:

  • ~3,700 act ive plat forms wit hin t he OCS

; more t han 40 % facilit ies are 25+ years old

  • Indust ry averages >130 plat form removals / yr
  • Challenges for large plat forms of >10,000 t ons in deeper wat ers

(BS EE: https://www.bsee.gov/what-we-do/environmental-focuses/decommissioning )

  • Average lifet ime of offshore oil and gas field: 25 – 40 yrs.
