Decommissioning

Decommissining, a final and often necessary phase in the overall lifecycle of an asset, requires diligent logistical planning, scheduling, risk assessment, preparation and more to ensure safe and complete execution.  From environmental studies and licencing requirements to chemical analysis and waste water management, Intertek Metoc experts are with you every step of the way. 

The energy sector continues to evolve, and many assets are near the close of their operational life.  As structures deteriorate and regulatory requirements increase, companies are facing situations that can be costly, complex and inefficient.  Within the oil and gas industry alone, decommissioning assets such as installations, pipelines, wells and subsea infrastructure totals into the billions of dollars each year.  

Before any physical decommissioning activities begin, appropriate licences and permits must be obtained.  Our experienced team collaborates with regulators to develop innovative licensing solutions that help streamline the process and ensure compliance.
