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 four operators will present their decommissioning plans to raise awareness of the challenges and opportunities. The outcome from the session is that attendees will gain a greater understanding of collaboration opportunities and generate supply chain awareness.
