Proceedings: public workshop, decommissioning and removal of oil and gas facilities offshore California: recent experiences and future deepwater challenges, September 1997

Abstract

This document was the result of a workshop designed to familiarize the public with the decommissioning process. General topics include: 1) The regulatory framework for decommissioning at the state and federal levels, 2) details regarding how platforms are physically decommissioned, 3) statements by potentially affected groups (i.e. fishermen and environmentalists),  and how the remaining structure might potentially affect the environment.
