INTRODUCTION
Decommissioning Offshore Oil and Gas Installations is an inevitable part of the ‘Life of Field’ activities. It carries a multibillion-dollar cost with no return.
In this course we will recognize about the Strategic decisions to be made and your organisations ability to influence, Improvements to streamline decommissioning processes, Capture opportunities to add value, A deeper knowledge of decommissioning and associated strategies by Interactive exercises and training related to typical field and Realizing Supply chain, regulatory and innovative technology solutions
So this course for individuals and organisations that are involved in the ultra-late life and decommissioning process, will enable them to gain a greater strategic view of decommissioning and how key decisions are made and how they interact and influence success, while creating opportunities to improve their individual and organisations delivery.
Finally a key learning point for delegates will be the opportunity to take part in ‘real life’ exercises related to decommissioning of a typical offshore asset.
