Before the decommissioning phase of an oil field, and also of onshore installations, it is important to map the environmental conditions of the surrounding, as well as the integrity condition of the pipelines, platforms and other installed equipment in order to decide which is the best option for its final destination. Having the best available information clients can decide the most appropriate strategy and methods for successful decommissioning. During decommissioning ongoing collection of data is important for tracking possible impacts before they become problematic. Regular periodic monitoring of environmental conditions post-decommission is also recommended to ensure any remaining structures do not decay and cause problems over the long term.

  • Post-drill and decommissioning surveys;
  • Evaluations and feasibility studies for decommissioning projects;
  • Energy balance, emissions, impact of explosives and potential effects on the marine environment;
  • Decommissioning waste management advice.
