Decommissioning marks the final stage of an energy project. In oil and gas, when a field production cycle comes to an end and all the financially viable recoverables have been processed, the facilities and infrastructure must be dismantled. The objective is to leave a clean sea-bed where technically possible, environmentally beneficial, with minimum risk to the safety of personnel involved in the decommissioning operation.
Decommissioning offshore assets often brings complex challenges. Notwithstanding, the inherent risks of removal, our in-house expert teams must consider each asset’s specific marine ecosystems and platform characteristics, including complexity, size and weight. Trident Energy continues to demonstrate its proficiency in decommissioning, setting high standards in terms of efficiency and expertise for the industry in Brazil.
By properly plugging and abandoning legacy wells, we remove outdated infrastructure, mitigate safety and environmental risks and reduce our decommissioning liabilities.
Since late 2022, we have implemented a large-scale three-year decommissioning program of offshore wells that are no longer in use and made considerable progress in executing safe and efficient decommissioning activities.
