Research identifying strengths and weaknesses in the oil & gas decommissioning sector will be outlined to delegates attending a new one-day event for the sector taking place in Aberdeen (Wednesday, March 27)

Decom Offshore 2013is being held by offshore oil & gas decommissioning forum Decom North Sea (DNS) at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre, to help overcome the challenges facing companies dealing with infrastructure at the end of the lifecycle.

The aim of the day, entitled ‘‘Decom Offshore – Confronting Challenges, Creating Opportunities’, is for operators and major contractors to provide a collaborative view of their main challenges to the industry, and to showcase some of the innovative technologies, techniques and solutions available to help overcome key issues faced in decommissioning projects.

UK Energy Minister John Hayes is attending the event. He said: “Decommissioning is a relatively new business for the UK and represents an enormous and exciting opportunity for British companies. If we get it right the UK could become a global centre of excellence.
