Oil industry to spend £15bn on North Sea decommissioning...26 Nov 2019 17:46
"Michael Tholen, upstream policy director at OGUK, said: “Decommissioning is not the end of our industry; it offers a new beginning. Decommissioning with the net zero agenda at the forefront of our minds will be the next big step; where we lead, others will follow.”
Commenting on the report, Julia Derrick, oil and gas partner at law firm Ashurst, said: “The fact that decommissioning costs are going down, through innovation and efficiency, and the fact that alternatives to decommissioning are also being explored, are very positive developments and should give companies investing in the UKCS greater confidence about the outlook for future decommissioning liabilities associated with mature assets.”"
