Spotlight Sessions

First Time in APAC

Petrobras Brazil Case Study | Deepwater Subsea Decommissioning at Scale: Recovering Flexibles, Umbilicals & End-of-Life Infrastructure

First-hand lessons from Brazil's complex offshore decommissioning environment: recovering large volumes of deepwater subsea material, managing environmental and execution challenges, and turning what comes up into recycling and reuse opportunities. Built for Australia and other geographically isolated APAC markets.

Thailand in Practice

What 17 Platform Reuses & Total Asset Repurposing Can Teach APAC

Chevron Thailand and PTTEP share what they learned from reusing, relocating and repurposing offshore assets in the Gulf of Thailand, from wellhead platform reuse to turning decommissioned jackets into artificial reefs.

Live Case Study

Delivering a Multi-Asset Offshore Decommissioning Campaign | The Gippsland Platforms Removal Project

How do you sequence a multi-platform removal on mature steel structures? Front-end planning, engineering the Gippsland jackets, campaign sequencing and vessel use, and the lessons from delivering with the Pioneering Spirit.

Regulations

Legislative Reform of Offshore Decommissioning in Australia

Australia's offshore decommissioning framework is being reformed. Hear the reform journey, the Government's proposed framework, and why a risk-based approach may outperform compliance-focused models, with global governance trends and examples.

Indonesia's Second Life Plan

Rigs-to-Fish-Farms & Rigs-to-LNG Regas: What Pertamina Is Testing for Indonesia's Platforms

Indonesia is asking what else its ageing platforms can do before it removes them. Pertamina is researching two answers: converting platforms into fish farms to grow the blue economy, and into LNG regasification units to keep gas flowing to Java. Hear what the research shows so far, and what it means for other APAC markets with platforms nearing the end of their lives.

The Value

Why Attend?

Build Your Regional Decommissioning Strategy

See how operators across Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia are preparing for the wave of end-of-life assets, and what Brazil, the UK and Norway can teach the region.

Reduce Project Costs

Compare notes on campaign-based P&A, integrated contracting and platform reuse with the operators and contractors doing it.

Know What Regulators Expect

Hear NOPSEMA, the North Sea Transition Authority, the Petroleum Authority of Brunei Darussalam, CODA and Offshore Norge on financial assurance, liability and approvals.

Separate Proven Technology from Hype

Find out which AI, robotics and digital twin applications are delivering measurable results today, and which are still concepts.

Unlock New Value from Existing Infrastructure

Explore reuse, relocation, recycling and repurposing, from Thai wellhead platforms and artificial reefs to Pertamina's research on fish farms and LNG regas.

What to Expect at Offshore Decommissioning APAC Summit

2 Days of Strategic Insights, Practical Learning & Industry Collaboration

Day 1

Executive Summit

Hear How Australia and APAC Are Delivering Decommissioning

Operators, regulators and contractors share live case studies, debate who pays and what regulators expect, and show how ageing infrastructure can be reused, recycled or repurposed.

You'll Explore

  • ✓Is APAC's execution capacity ready for a US$100 billion program?
  • ✓What regulators expect: financial assurance, liability and approvals
  • ✓Plug & abandonment: cutting cost and risk at scale
  • ✓Deepwater subsea recovery: lessons from Petrobras
  • ✓Platform reuse and repurposing: Thailand in practice
  • ✓Removing the big ones: the Gippsland campaign
  • ✓Mature basin lessons from the North Sea
  • ✓Six interactive roundtables
Day 2

The Offshore Decommissioning War Room

One Platform. Five Phases. A Board That Challenges Every Decision.

Work in teams as the decommissioning team for the Meridian Platform. Plan, execute and defend critical decisions, from liquidating the Asset Retirement Obligation to a live board defence. Then benchmark your choices against real APAC programmes.

You'll Explore

  • ✓Phase 1, Assess & Plan: liquidating the ARO and building the AFE
  • ✓Phase 2, Execution Under Pressure: P&A under real project constraints
  • ✓Phase 3, Engineer Down & Clean: removal, FPSO disconnection and campaign sequencing
  • ✓Phase 4, Remove, Repurpose or Redevelop: the final decision
  • ✓Phase 5, The Boardroom Test: present your business case to a simulated board of directors, regulators, investors and JV partners
  • ✓Industry benchmark: what actually happened

You'll Leave With

  • ▸  Offshore Decommissioning Strategy Framework
  • ▸  Authorization for Expenditure (AFE) Planning Template
