With over a decade of experience behind us and decades of delivery ahead of us the regulatory process continues to respond to lessons learned, innovation and technological development. What does it mean to meet to deliver legal obligations in a timely, safe, and cost-effective way and what can we learn from and share with other regulators?

The OEUK decommissioning Work Breakdown Structure has become a very recognisable feature in the UK and around the world. It has improved the way industry communicates and benchmarks decommissioning projects, driving efficiencies in decommissioning. Focus is required on every component part of the Decommissioning WBS to drive excellence in decommissioning.
This session, as voted by the decommissioning community will be focused on Post Decommissioning Monitoring and Onshore Dismantling. These key themes will be presented by OEUK decommissioning supply chain member companies showcasing developments and opportunities within this WBS area.
Chaired by Joe Leask, Decommissioning Compliance and Strategy Manager, bp.
The UK supply chain is globally recognised as a leader in subsea operations, the UKCS has pioneered many firsts and new approaches within the decommissioning sector. This session focusses on examples and case studies where companies have shown excellence in the subsea sector. From subsea infrastructure removal, to cleaning and IMR (inspection, maintenance and repair) as well as Jacket removals. The UK has developed multiple innovations and delivered excellence in this space!

The session, focused on offshore wind decommissioning, will start with the official launch of OEUK’s Decommissioning of Offshore Wind Installations Guideline and Offshore Wind Decommissioning Work Breakdown Structure. This will be followed by short presentations and a panel session covering the scale of the opportunity afforded by offshore wind decommissioning along with estimated timing of asset retiral, insights on offshore wind decommissioning from a wind contractor, an overview of the infrastructure and resource challenges and finally the need for routes for circularity and recycling.
Chaired by Professor Richard Neilson, Director of the National Decommissioning Centre, University of Aberdeen.
Several offshore global basins are increasing decommissioning activity, with planning and execution well underway. While the North Seas is one of the most advanced basins regarding decommissioning execution, with experience building up in other regions, there is an increasing opportunity for cross basin learnings in both directions, driving continuous improvements towards better decommissioning performance. In this session, IOGP and speakers representing basins beyond the UKCS will introduce the global decommissioning portfolio, discuss challenges faced or overcome and discuss opportunities for the UK decommissioning supply chains and operators.
Chaired by Ping Teo, Senior Manager – Decommissioning, IOGP.
In this session two operators will present their decommissioning plans for the coming years alongside some key challenges which will bring the Offshore Decommissioning Conference 2024 to a close, leaving the supply chain with food for thought and greater clarity on the workload ahead.
