Offshore Decommissioning APAC Summit 2027: Masterclass

9:00 AM Mission Briefing

Your project starts here. Working as the appointed decommissioning team for the Meridian Platform, delegates receive a realistic project dossier and are challenged to plan, execute and defend critical decisions across five phases, from liquidating Asset Retirement Obligation through to a live board defense. 

The objective: deliver a safe, commercially viable, regulator-approved decommissioning program, built on the real cost, contracting and execution logic used across APAC.
