Innovations and Challenges in Recycling and Decommissioning of Offshore Structures

Thursday, 8 May
Room 610
Technical Session
This session will cover the innovative concepts and designed planning for the decommissioning and requirement of offshore systems. It will compare the cleaning requirements during temporary production shutdowns with those necessary for decommissioning. The discussion will also include new decontamination models, the recycling of floating structures, and the market challenges associated with fulfilling the decommissioning portfolio and disposing of structures. Additionally, lessons learned will be explored, along with computational solutions aimed at speeding up risk analysis in decommissioning activities. Lastly, the R&D portfolio designed to facilitate sustainable decommissioning will be presented.
