DECOM North Sea has launched a website to support the oil and gas industry plan and execute late late and decommissioning projects.
The Late Life Planning Portal – known as L2P2 – is designed to provide a single access point for knowledge sharing and cross sector learning.
Decom North Sea, the representative body for the decommissioning sector, said it reflects the overarching objective to bring regulators, operators and the supply chain together in the North Sea to collaborate on decommissioning projects.
Chief executive Roger Esson said: “Decommissioning is a long game, with over 40 years of decommissioning activity yet to take place and around 90 per cent of North Sea assets yet to be decommissioned.#
"For that to happen as efficiently and as cost-effectively as possible in the long term, we need to make good decisions in the Late Life phase."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
