Danish sustainable offshore decommissioning project
Abstract
From the Executive Summary: “This document presents a description of a number of mature oil and gas platforms in the North Sea considered as the most likely candidates for decommissioning under the project “Dansk Bæredygtig Offshore Dekommissionering”. It is prepared by Offshore Centre Denmark, as part of a Consortium of Companies in the offshore sector in Denmark namely Ramboll Oil & Gas, Semco Maritime A/S and Blue Water Shipping.
It is a prelude to the environmental impact assessments to be carried out on all the possible options of decommissioning for the selected oil and gas platforms. The chosen 71 platforms located in various oil and gas fields of the North Sea are listed in this project as mature and are candidates for decommissioning. The majority of the platforms are gas platforms located in the southern sector of the North Sea mainly in the UK, Dutch and Norwegian continental shelves, whereas the oil platforms are mostly found in the North/Central North Sea, in the Danish, the UK and the Norwegian continental shelves.
