Decommissioning Insight 2021
Welcome to OGUK’s Decommissioning Insight 2021, marking the end of a year in which we saw some recovery after the challenges of the global pandemic and commodity price collapse in 2020. While some of those challenges remain, the UK decommissioning industry is looking to the future with purpose. We’re establishing our key role in the transition to a low carbon energy mix, and executing safe, innovative, and environmentally sound decommissioning. All while continuing our journey to be safely more cost effective and to maximise the export potential of our goods and services.
