There are 450 structures in the UK sector of the North Sea that will require decommissioning, which may or may not involve physical removal of the structure. The scale varies immensely, from subsea pipelines and wellheads to unmanned platforms and immense concrete gravity-base structures. Although production has ceased the decommissioning process still has to deal with significant safety hazards, including the risk of residual hydrocarbons, hazardous construction materials, large scale lifting, diving operations, and assessing the impact on'neighbouring or linked live assets.
This stream of the symposium will consider how the decommissioning process is considered during the development of operational safety cases, how the decommissioning process is assessed, and how the ongoing decommissioning safety process is managed.
