| Description | |
| Abstract | Around the world there are more than 7.000 offshore oil & gas installations in place, many of which will be decommissioned in the coming years and decades. Furthermore, several thousand kilometres of pipelines will probably need to be removed, trenched or covered. This will present Europe with both a major challenge from an environmental and technological perspective and a potential opportunity from an industrial and economical perspective. Over the next 10-20 years in European seas, an average of 15-25 installations are expected to be abandoned annually. The continental shelf bordering the states of the European Community and Norway has more than 600 offshore oil and gas platforms, more than 430 subsea structures and more than 600 subsea wellheads.
To support these challenges from all perspectives and for all interested parties from the oil & gas industry, public authorities, regulatory bodies, contractors, and the general public, there is a great need for exchange of data & information covering the full matrix of relevant subjects. These include:
* details of offshore installations
* suppliers of specialist services & products
* marine environmental measurements and analyses
* technologies for decommissioning
* environmental regulations and regulatory frameworks
* planned and executed decommissioning projects
The objective of the EMIDOI poject is to develop an Electronic Marketplace on the internert, where information on Decommissioning of Offshore Installations can be found. Part of the objective is to create synergy and cooperation between public and private organisations. |
