Luton, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exactitude Consultancy, the market research and consulting wing of Ameliorate Digital Consultancy Private Limited has completed and published the final copy of the detailed research report on the Offshore Decommissioning Market.
The global offshore decommissioning market is expected to grow at more than 7.6% CAGR from 2021 to 2028. It is expected to reach above USD 8.30 billion by 2028 from a little above USD 4.8 billion in 2021. Offshore decommissioning refers to the process of dismantling and removing offshore oil and gas installations, including platforms, wells, and associated infrastructure, at the end of their operational life. The offshore decommissioning process is complex and involves multiple steps, including plugging wells, cutting and removing topsides and jackets, and disposing of equipment and materials.
The offshore decommissioning market is driven by various factors, including the increasing number of aging offshore oil and gas installations, stringent government regulations, and the growing focus on environmental sustainability. The market is also influenced by the fluctuating oil and gas prices, which impact the profitability of oil and gas companies and, consequently, their willingness to invest in decommissioning activities.

What is offshore decommissioning?
Decommissioning is the process of ending offshore oil and gas operations at an offshore platform and returning the ocean and seafloor to its pre-lease condition.
Regional Analysis:
The offshore decommissioning market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. North America is projected to grow at a steady rate with many offshore oil and gas platforms are under evaluation for dismantlement in the bearish oil market. In Europe, the decommissioning market is driven by several factors such as increasing decommissioning activities in UK, Denmark, Norway, etc.
UK has been the most active market for offshore decommissioning with global market share approximately 50%. Challenging market outlook has put many aging fields to rest as diminishing output proved insufficient to cover production costs. Many fields around the world are under evaluation of dismantlement, which expected to leverage offshore decommissioning market in other parts of the world.

Driver & Restraint
Growing number of abandoned wells and presence of large mature offshore oilfields worldwide
As a well nears the end of its useful life, it must be permanently plugged and abandoned. This involves the placement of multiple cement plugs within the wellbore to isolate the reservoir and any other fluid-bearing formations. The demand for plug & abandonment (P&A) operations is rapidly increasing, especially in mature offshore areas such as the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. According to Decommissioning Insight 2019 by Oil & Gas UK, a total of 2,624 wells are expected to be decommissioned in the North Sea during 2019-2028. This trend is driving the market for offshore decommissioning services, with governments also placing increased focus on well plug & abandonment activities. For example, a bill was introduced in the US House of Representatives in April 2021 authorizing $8 billion for the plugging and clean-up of abandoned oil wells nationwide, aiming to create jobs for oil and gas workers while reducing climate-warming emissions. Hence, the growing demand for well plugging & abandonment is fueling the offshore decommissioning market.
High cost associated with offshore decommissioning processes
Although platforms may share similar characteristics and configurations, the cost of decommissioning can vary significantly based on location, climate, and regulatory requirements. The decommissioning process is complex and requires skilled operators and specialized equipment. While oilfields generate revenue during the hydrocarbon production phase, they become a liability during decommissioning operations. Decommissioning oil and gas installations can be costly, with estimates varying worldwide. For example, removing a complete platform in shallow waters like the Gulf of Mexico may cost between USD 15 million and USD 20 million, while the cost of removing structures from deep water, such as in the North Sea, can range from £30 million for smaller platforms to £200 million for larger ones, according to Oil and Gas UK.
