Decom North Sea (DNS), the offshore oil and gas decommissioning forum, will be promoting the concept of decommissioning as an integral part of the overall life cycle of an asset rather than a separate phase tagged on at the end, when it hosts a networking breakfast in Houston.

The event, which is sponsored by URS Corporation, is being held at the Hilton Post Oak Hotel tomorrow (Wednesday 2 May, 7-9am) to coincide with the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC).

Win Thornton, VP Decommissioning Global Projects for BP, will share his views and experiences from over 35 years experience in the offshore decommissioning industry and will discuss the importance of transferring skills and knowledge from the operational phase of a project to the decommissioning phase.
