Who Will you meet at this
Gulf of Mexico has seen an unprecedented boom in offshore year's D&a summit
decommissioning projects – the implementation of the Idle Iron
NTL in October 2010 has accelerated decommissioning in the
region and will continue in 2012 and beyond! Attendees by Job Title
For the first 6 months of 2011, the industry has abandoned 671
wells and removed 62 structures from the offshore continental
shelf. This trend is expected to accelerate with operators making a
real push to plug wells and abandon structures.
The decommissioning industry in the Gulf of Mexico is estimated to
be worth between $30 - $40bn and experts predict that around
1200 wells will be plugged and abandoned every year and
that 150 structures will be removed.
Decommissioning offshore structures is costly, technically
