RE: Less decom expenses19 Aug 2019 23:24
It is not entirely inconceivable that if CCS DOES take off that comapnies like RRE might actually get paid to capture carbon as opposed to decom costs. I have a background in Marine Biology/EIA and would think it likely that in many cases the environmental impact of decommissioning would be greater than leaving much of the stuff in situ. Particularly given that such artificial reef habitat as rigs provide will, after many years service, now have an associated ecosystem living on and around it.
