- A combined estimated liability of
USD $40.5 billion (including wells
and facilities). Well plugging and
abandonment (P&A) and pipeline
removal comprise the majority of
estimated spend. - A potential for a significant
decommissioning workload
between 2020 and 2030,
based on independent
estimates of decommissioning
commencement dates. - Substantial opportunities for
cost reduction through wellestablished initiatives, such as
knowledge sharing and multiasset campaign approaches. - A need to continuously improve
the underlying dataset and to
maximise efficiency through a
centralised planning system.
