Influencing decommissioning
- Reduce well decommissioning cost by a further 10% from 2023 to end of 2028
- Promote cost reduction target and share key challenges and ideas to overcome
- Promote guidance for re-use with respect to CCS
KPIs (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Oriented)
- Reduce well decommissioning cost by 10% from 2023 to end of 2028
Scope
- All existing and future platform and subsea wellbores currently registered on the NSTA Wells Operations Notification System (WONS) database
- All existing E&A and open water suspended wellbores
Objectives
- Identify barriers, support solutions including technology to deliver efficiencies
- Promote campaigning and collaboration
- Ensure appropriate guidance, now and in future
Deliverables
- Technology roadmap – NZTC, TLB, Norce
