Frequently Asked Questions
When will decommissioning activity start?
The Atlas Decommissioning module provides users with economic field CoPs under base, low and high commodity price scenarios. It also gives users the capability to flex their own price decks, costs or production scenarios to determine a CoP and abandonment outlook.
What infrastructure is associated with the hubs and fields that will cease?
The Atlas Decommissioning module provides a summary of platform, floating facilities, subsea infrastructure and wells associated with every field in the UK and Norway.
Who are the Operators managing the activity?
The Atlas Decommissioning module has been set up to provide gross production, costs and infrastructure for fields and hubs at the operator level to enable the supply chain to better evaluate opportunities.
What variables can be used for decommissioning sensitivity analysis?
The Atlas Decommissioning valuations tool allows users to set their own oil and gas price forecasts, flex operating costs, tariffs and/or production to produce their own decommissioning outlook for fields, hubs and operators.
Oil & Gas Decommissioning Sensitivity Analysis
Our Atlas Decom – Oil & Gas Decommissioning Activity
specialists
“As the UK North Sea enters a new phase where decommissioning becomes the dominant industry driver, the supply chain faces significant demand and major financial risk. Based on current investment plans, up to 40% of UK fields could cease production before 2030. With the impact of decommissioning tax liabilities on abandonment expenditure, cost-effective P&A must be paramount.”
