Offshore Decommissioning Market Growth Accelerated by Reusing and Recycling of Materials
Offshore Decommissioning Market |
Offshore decommissioning involves removing aging oil and gas platforms and other offshore structures from operation once production has ceased. It involves activities such as plugging and abandoning wells, disconnecting pipelines, removing towers, living quarters and other structures. Decommissioning offers products such as reuse and recycling of materials which helps reduce costs associated with projects and has minimal impact on the environment.
The global
Offshore Decommissioning Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 7.07 Bn in
2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12% over the forecast period 2023 to
2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Reusing and recycling materials recovered from decommissioning operations is
one of the major trends in the offshore decommissioning market. It helps to
reduce project costs significantly as repurposed materials can be resold rather
than sending them to landfill. According to studies, up to 70-80% of the
structure from decommissioned assets can potentially be recycled. Companies are
increasingly focusing on finding reuse options like converting topsides into
artificial reefs or using jacket structures for wind farms. For example, in
2022, Norway-based AF Decom completed reusing concrete structure from a
decommissioned platform to form an artificial reef in the North Sea, which
helped lower project costs by 20%.
Segment
Analysis
The global offshore decommissioning market is dominated by the topside segment.
The topside decommissioning involves removing and disposing of equipment that
sits above the sea floor, such as production platforms, pipelines and wells. It
is the most expensive part of decommissioning activities due to the complexity
involved in removing very large steel and concrete structures. Advance planning
and engineering is required to dismantle topsides safely.
