Environmental Best Practises in Decommissioning
Any structure submerged in seawater is quickly colonised by marine biota. An ecological succession then occurs, often leading to complex three-dimensional and heterogeneous habitats with significant biodiversity and function. It includes man-made structures (MMS) placed in a marine environment. In the North Sea, the requirement to decommission existing MMS (OSPAR Commission Decision 98/3) raises interesting questions about the ecological status of MMS. While technological advances have improved the planning and implementation of decommissioning, there are still over 1 350 mature offshore installations in the OSPAR maritime area. Despite this, there appears to be little concern about MMS's impact on the environment.

How has COVID-19 had a significant negative impact on the Offshore Oil & Gas Decommissioning Market?
As operators reduced their spending and altered their objectives in 2020, offshore work halted. This included decommissioning projects, where delays resulted in longer-term costs for operators. Offshore operators hurried to remove their workers from their rigs in March 2020. Working offshore became more dangerous than ever as Covid-19 entered the world's oilfields, and budget cuts resulted in numerous job losses.
Massive engineering projects, like those on the Forties pipeline, encountered delays. Many people found it appealing to avoid expensive and time-consuming decommissioning operations, despite the higher overall cost.
One of the world's biggest decommissioning marketplaces is in the UK. Decommissioned wells now outnumber all wells that were in the exploration, appraisal, and development phases combined over the previous four years. British decommissioning expenditures were reduced by 30% in 2020 as a result of Covid-19's impact. Although significant, this cut is about equal to the reductions applied to all capital expenditures. Decommissioning had effects similar to those of exploration, but eventually the work needs to be done. These cuts quickly stop, falling by 8% to decommissioning in 2021 and by 1% in 2022. Additionally, it takes place against a backdrop of quickly escalating decommissioning expenses. In 2020, operators are expected to have spent a total of £1.08 billion on decommissioning. According to projections, the UK North Sea will need to spend an additional £15 billion on decommissioning over the next ten years.

What are the Current Market Drivers?
The Prospect of Oil and Gas: Offshore Digital Processing
The petroleum and gas industries are 'always going' and the legacies have long been established to make it work. However, as digitalisation begins to change this region, organisations are searching for popular solutions to enable them to align uptime, security and safety requirements with the need to benefit from digital innovation. No 'rip and rebuild' strategy is needed for digital transformation. Rather, organisations should see this as a way of improving their facility's functions and moving to a modern software ecosystem that improves the existence of the existing structure of legacy.
Expanding Prospects for the Blue Economy
Each decommissioning alternative holds its own risks and further analysis needs to be done to understand how they can be mitigated. However, the method of decommissioning provides tremendous benefits, it's still crucial to note. There is clearly the ability to redirect offshore systems into a viable framework. Any testing was also undertaken to look closer to the coast to towing sections of the infrastructure to serve as artificial fishing reef.

Where are the Market Opportunities?
Savings Opportunities During Late-Life Operations
There are several opportunities for cost savings during late-life operations and the transition to decommissioning. As a platform approaches the end of its useful life, some of the installed equipment becomes obsolete. Platform decommissioning, when managed in conjunction with obsolescence work, can provide an opportunity to identify and retain key critical spares for internal use or resale to other Operators or industries. This is the ideal solution for meeting the Circular Economy principles. However, a mindset shift is required; decommissioning strategies should ideally be in place prior to carrying out Asset Life Extension (ALE) and concurrent obsolescence.
Raising Awareness of Resale Possibilities
Several Operators stated in the workgroup that they are not aware of any re-sale opportunities. Previously, it was stated that oil and gas companies do not want used components due to perceived reliability issues and resulting platform downtime. The re-sale specialists, on the other hand, emphasised the global market of end users and buyers of redundant but re-usable plant, particularly markets in emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil, and Africa, where there is a high demand for redundant power and process plants. Most equipment has a resale value; the challenge is to provide sufficient lead time to market and find the person or company who wants to buy.
