Seize decommissioning opportunities in 2010 and beyond

Do you wish you knew when new decommissioning projects were becoming available for tender? Imagine if you were the go-to company for every decommissioning project...

With landmark projects now completed, huge schemes in the pipeline and hundreds more set to be decommissioned before 2025, it’s clear that this marketplace represents an incredible opportunity. With an estimated market value exceeding $15bn, and over 1000 installations remaining in the North Sea, it’s no surprise that industry experts are expecting the long-awaited boom. Fluctuating oil prices add ambiguity, but:

• Higherprices=cashflowavailable for decommissioning

• Lowerprices=fieldlifeextensionlessviable

But is this really a win-win for decommissioning? High prices also bring with them the desire to extend field life and low prices, the need to conserve cashflow. So is it actually really a lose-lose? Nonetheless, industry advances are making decom easier and faster, and aging platforms are reaching the end of their production lives. With the maturing market following the Gulf of Mexico’s trend, is the long-awaited boom upon us?

Why is decommissioning still such a big issue?

Let’snotgetaheadofourselves.Inthelastdecade, timelines have shifted to the right and operators have delayed decommissioning, reluctant to spend the money. Projects have been expensive to run and huge overruns in timescales and cost have created enormous difficulties. These are just some of the challenges that stand in the way of you and the decommissioning goldmine.

This is why EyeforEnergy have upped the ante this year. Don’t miss out on:

OPPORTUNITIES

Section speakers include:Alastair Birnie, Chief Executive, Subsea UKKeith Mayo, Head – Offshore Decommissioning, DECCJudith Aldersey-Williams, Partner, CmS Cameron mcKenna

Subsea Decommissioning - Key factors to be considered

The industry has anticipated the onset of decommissioning for some time, but progress has been slower than anticipated and has led to a level scepticism in the contracting community as to when it will happen and whether it will be a profitable market. • Explore the key factors in determining the

decommissioning profile, and examine factors which may ultimately affect decisions

• Investigate how decommissioning outlooks are dependant on the life-extension or possible re-use of existing infrastructure

• Examine the effects of taxation and liability on decommissioning incentives, and how operational capacity of facilities can ultimately affect plans.

The future of North Sea decommissioning legislation

Knowing the legal framework surrounding decommissioning in the North Sea is essential if you are to effectively plan for the future. Join our experts as we provide a thorough outlook for the future of legislation, and how it will affect you.• Examine the latest regime developments and how

they have affected the industry• Hear our legal experts’ opinions on how laws may

change in the future, what extra difficulties there may be to overcome and what opportunities for cost reduction may emerge

• Forewarned is forearmed: understand the importance of refining your business now to prepare for new laws and developments across the North Sea region

Developing a sustainable decommissioning supply chain

The decommissioning industry in the North Sea has united. The recently formed supply chain steering group has produced ‘Decom North Sea’; a trade association designed to further the decommissioning industry in the North Sea.• Hear the first public announcements from Decom

North Sea and discover what their aims and objectives are for the future

• Learn how representation through the trade association can enhance your business opportunities, contract possibilities and industry influence

• Explore mid-long term development trends as we try to paint a picture of the North Sea decommissioning industry in 2015, 2020 and beyond

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION & PANEL: AN INDUSTRY FIRST

Global round-up: Decommissioning in the Gom, South-East Asia and beyond

GETTING TO GRIPS WITH DECOMMISSIONING PLANNING &

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Section speakers include:Roy Aspden, Head of Decommissioning, AmECTom Leeson, Well Services and Technology Manager, tSmarineRobert C. Byrd, Senior Vice President, Proserv Offshore

Driving down the cost of decommissioning

In a turbulent, competitive market, it is difficult to provide a low-cost service, remain competitive and invest in new techniques and technologies to stay ahead of the competition.• Explore various approaches which can drive down

costs, and hence place you at the forefront of the industry

• Learn from other industry sectors, and examine how co-operative deals can enhance productivity and profits

• Streamline the transition between late life operations and decommissioning, and eliminate wasted time and money

Saving time and making money: a guide to multi-client projects

Traditionally, contractors have been employed by single operators for single projects, leaving space between work which makes decommissioning unnecessarily inefficient and expensive.• Learn from experience gained in the last 9 months

how multi-client programming can provide impressive cost reduction results

• Investigate the underlying details surrounding multi-client project planning and lump-sum pricing, and how to facilitate this approach

• Hear UKCS case-studies of improved rigless methodologies and rig-chase wellhead severance

Taking on decommissioning liability: a novel approach to project contracting

• See how assuming asset ownership and taking on decommissioning liability can increase business activity and provide a real decommissioning incentive to operators

• Get the inside track on a lump-sum decommissioning and debris removal project in the Gulf of Mexico following the 2008 hurricanes

• Hear how the allocation of risk between the various parties involved in the project was managed effectively - what contract terms were employed?

STRATEGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REDUCTION, RE-USE,

RECYCLING & DISPOSAL

Section speakers include:Thor Sterker, Managing Director, Platform brokersGordon Picken, Managing Director, bmt CordahKeith Mayo, Head – Offshore Decommissioning, DECCHarald Ramfjord, Technology Director, beerenberg FrontierAlan Simcock, Former Executive Director, OSPARRachel O'Donnell, Decommissioning Manager, veoliaJames Johnson, Decommissioning Manager, Peterson SbS

Platform removal and re-use: ins and outs uncoveredReusing platforms which have been transferred from other sites can save a large amount of construction time as well as dramatically reducing waste and the cost of dismantling and recycling.• Hear expert views on platform removal, re-use

and dismantling, and hear how such experiences can be applied to your project to great effect

• Investigate the pros and cons of platform re-use and hear success stories (or otherwise) from all such operations to date

• Learn about licensing and permitting issues relating to platform waste, and explore how these can be overcome

Decommissioning - An Onshore perspective

Offshore cutting, lifting and dismantling often takes all the focus of decommissioning interest, and leaves onshore processing on the sidelines. What happens offshore, however, is only the beginning.• Learn the effects offshore processing can have on

onshore activities and how planning for onshore processes can save you money

• Maximise the efficiency of your entire decommissioning process by providing the right information for processing routes onshore

• Eliminate waste and exceed requirements with this vital guide to maximising re-use and recycling, pushing your business ahead of competition

Decommissioning and the real EIA: the dawn of low carbon decom?

As we move into an era of unprecedented carbon footprint awareness, is it time for us to once again question the true environmental impact of decommissioning? Is complete removal always the best option or should we be taking a more holistic approach which considers the impact on the planet as a whole and fully explores options for low-cost, low-carbon rigs-to-reefs campaigns? Discuss the most hotly contested environmental questions in the industry as we debate whether this market should even exist and how it will no doubt change in the future.• Debate the possibility of a change in attitudes towards

decommissioning, and whether opinions are starting to change in a way which may drive full studies and ultimately legislative change

• Investigate the true carbon footprint of offshore decommissioning and weigh this against proven and perceived environmental impacts for other options

• Hear how future regulations could be affected by this low-carbon debate, and where that will leave the decommissioning industry
