Reducing your decommissioning costs
Keeping your decommissioning cost to a minimum
Decommissioning is a big uncertainty.
It can also be a huge cost, especially when it comes to your wells.
Well plugging and abandonment alone is the biggest ticket item when it comes to field decommissioning. It accounts for more than 45% of your total decommissioning bill*.
Making sure it’s done safely and cost-effectively, without harm to the environment is of the utmost importance.
And we’ll make sure you’re able to meet the challenge.
