Advanced Abandonment, Dismantling & Disposal of Oil & Gas Production Areas Training Course

Course Category : Oil & Gas Management

This programme equips professionals with advanced mastery in planning and executing safe and compliant decommissioning, dismantling, and waste-management operations across oil and gas production areas.
Duration: 10 Days
Level: Advanced

Introduction

As oil and gas facilities reach the end of their operational lifespan, decommissioning and dismantling become essential phases that require precise planning, stringent safety controls, and full regulatory compliance. These phases involve complex engineering tasks, waste-management processes, environmental protection measures, and multi-agency coordination to ensure safe and sustainable closure of offshore and onshore assets.
This advanced programme provides a comprehensive exploration of decommissioning strategy development, well abandonment technologies, offshore and onshore dismantling procedures, waste classification and transport regulations, environmental impact assessments, and international legislative frameworks. Participants will gain the strategic and technical competencies needed to manage late-life operations and deliver fully compliant and environmentally responsible closure activities..
