Decommissioning

The process of choosing the final decommissioning solution for your pipelines requires confirmation that it is not just fit for purpose using the Comparative Assessment approach, but providing you with the assurance that any future liabilities have been minimised or eliminated.

The final decommissioning process comprises the following complex activities. PipeDec can either assist in these or take them on entirely on your behalf.

  • Initial scoping studies to examine the opportunities that exist for the asset to be decommissioned.
  • Simplistic or comprehensive comparative assessments.
  • The Decommissioning Plan preparation and submission to DECC for the required regulatory approval.
  • Execution of the decommissioning activities offshore.
