Decommissioning
Our expertise includes specialized consulting and decommissioning services that may be deployed either as standalone elements or as part of a complete decommissioning program, aimed at safely and efficiently dismantling and removing oil and gas facilities at the end of their operational lifecycle.
With a strong focus on safety and sustainability, our team of skilled professionals utilizes advanced technology and industry insights to deliver tailored decommissioning solutions that meet the unique needs of each client and terrain. We are committed to ensuring that the decommissioning process is conducted in an environmentally responsible manner, while also adhering to regulatory requirements and minimizing impact on surrounding ecosystems.
I. Late Life Decommissioning Studies
We have the expertise, tools, and experience required to support field development activities throughout the entire oil and gas lifecycle. This includes the technical capacity for decommissioning and dismantling these assets when the time comes. Our seasoned teams employ proven development techniques, carried out by experienced professionals who think outside the box to ensure the most appropriate and commercially viable solutions are implemented.
Our capabilities extend to late life, cessation of production (CoP), and decommissioning studies, covering all industry aspects. We conduct due diligence reviews for end-of-field operations and management, detailed pre-operations, maintenance, and preparations before CoP. We also provide support for down-manning, dismantling, removal techniques, and recycling.
II. Late Life Asset Management
Oscion’s asset life-cycle support goes beyond ongoing delivery to focus on the management of change as the operation is adapted.
As an asset progresses through its life cycle, changing priorities make it necessary to adapt the mode of operation. Late-life management services can encompass individual or bundled assets, including:
- OPEX budgetary decisions are analyzed on a life-of-field basis
- Maintenance, including post cessation of production reliability
- Logistics services
- Platform operations and life-support services
- Early preparation scopes for post cessation of production activities
- Legislative and regulatory compliance (including safety cases)
Our strategic planning for late-life concentrates on:
- Maximizing economic recovery
- Optimizing the transition between final production and abandonment and removal
- Minimizing total OPEX (operating expenditure) and ABEX (abandonment expenditure) across this time horizon
- Managing regulatory compliance
- Delivering integrity assurance
III. Decommissioning Execution
Our execution services can be deployed as part of a full decommissioning strategy or as an add-on support of your plan. Delivered individually or as part of an integrated campaign, we optimize scope execution, reduce exposure to individuals and the environment, and, as a result, provide cost-effective solutions that protect asset investments.
Our extended range of capabilities delivers full solutions for the following stages:
- Make safe
- Wells plug and abandonment
- Topside preparation
- Topside removal
- Substructure removal
- Subsea infrastructure removal
- Onshore recycling
- Site remediation
- Monitoring
IV. Strategic Planning
Through our methodical planning approach, Our Company delivers solutions that are economical while adhering to legislative standards.
The ageing of assets inevitably introduces increasing complications and unpredictable factors concerning cost, safety measures, liability, and regulatory observance. We provide stakeholders with detailed information on decision quality, enabling them to pinpoint the optimal strategy and schedule for asset cessation and removal to ensure maximal economic return and proficient decommissioning.
We also assist in formulating the preliminary blueprint for all facets of the decommissioning procedure. Typically, this involves the creation of integrated cost and schedule models, an array of options for removal methodology, temporary utility necessities, strategies for major accident hazards and safety-critical equipment, maintenance and isolation strategies, and strategies pertaining to project contracting. This meticulous planning guarantees optimal utilization of resources while prioritizing the safety of people and the environment.
V. Maintenance Management
Efficient and cost-effective maintenance strategies are essential to minimize downtime while prioritizing safety, environmental concerns, and production impacts. Our extensive support includes maintenance consulting, work management workflow design, CMMS evaluations and selection, data migration, data quality analysis, system implementations and upgrades, interface design, reporting, and training. We also provide asset management strategies, spare parts analysis, warehouse management, vendor storage, interim database and CMMS solutions, hierarchy structures, failure codes, preventative maintenance, job plans and schedules, labour/material/tools estimation, spare parts inventory management, and materials classification.
