Australian Energy Producers Panel Series – Decommissioning at Scale | Delivering Certainty and Opportunity

Australia’s offshore oil and gas industry is entering a major phase of decommissioning works, with more than $40B in expected activity over coming decades. The scale of this task reinforces the importance of a clear, consistent and fit-for-purpose regulatory framework. We examined how government and industry can work together to ensure strong environmental, safety and social outcomes and regulatory confidence.

Abstract

Australia’s offshore oil and gas industry is entering a major phase of decommissioning works, with more than $40B in expected activity over coming decades. The scale of this task reinforces the importance of a clear, consistent and fit-for-purpose regulatory framework. We examined how government and industry can work together to ensure strong environmental, safety and social outcomes and regulatory confidence.
