Mark Wilson CEng, Decommissioning Project Manager at TAQA Group features in the course module ‘An Introduction to De-Energisation of Oil and Gas Installations’. ➡️ Interested? - Access a free trial here: https://lnkd.in/e8Vre3Q5 We’re continuing to celebrate the launch of Lean Decom, an online offshore decommissioning training course designed to help experienced oil and gas professionals turn sector experience into stronger decommissioning understanding and support positive project outcomes. Lean Decom features 18 course modules, 18 industry practitioners and 13 different organisations, knowledge sharing of the decommissioning lifecycle - on demand! In this module, Mark shares practical decommissioning context around: ✅ why de-energisation is not simply switching systems off, but a structured assurance process ahead of disembarkation and handover ✅ build an understanding of the safety and environmental risks involved in de-energisation, including how residual hazards are identified, controlled and communicated before safe handover ✅ how hydrocarbons, electrical systems, mechanical stored energy, chemicals, radioactive sources and residual hazards need to be identified, removed, controlled or documented ✅ why de-energisation planning must balance removing energy sources with maintaining the critical services needed to keep teams safe offshore ✅ how stored energy registers, drawings, handover documentation and closeout assurance help track what is isolated, what remains live and what hazards still exist ✅ why the completions assurance package is a key deliverable, giving the receiving party confidence that the asset is in the expected condition ✅ how early planning, clear communication and practical handover documentation can reduce risk and help shorten the oil-to-exit window Lean Decom transfers practical decommissioning experience, context and lessons learned to help experienced oil and gas professionals make more informed decisions and support stronger decommissioning performance. As this short preview highlights, de-energisation is a critical phase in preparing an offshore installation for safe disembarkation and handover. It is about understanding the end state, controlling remaining hazards and proving that the asset is safe for the next phase of work. Shared understanding to drive decommissioning performance.

Joe Leask of bp features in the course module 'An introduction to Decommissioning Contracting and Commercial Models'. ➡️ Interested? - Access a free trial here: https://lnkd.in/e8Vre3Q5 We’re continuing to celebrate the launch of Lean Decom, an online offshore decommissioning training course that helps experienced oil and gas professionals turn sector experience into stronger decommissioning understanding. Lean Decom features 18 course modules, 18 industry practitioners and 13 different organisations, bringing full lifecycle decommissioning context on demand. This short video gives a sample from one of the course modules, An Introduction to Contracting and Commercial Models, led by Joe Leask, Decommissioning Compliance and Strategy Manager at BP. In this module, Joe shares practical commercial context around: ✅ why decommissioning projects need commercial models that reflect uncertainty, ageing assets and changing risk profiles ✅ how day rate, lump sum, turnkey and asset ownership models each shift cost, risk, control and accountability in different ways ✅ why poor contract model selection can create adversarial behaviours, variation disputes and unnecessary cost ✅ how stronger operator–supply chain partnerships can support safer, more environmentally sound and more cost-effective delivery ✅ why aggregating scope across projects can create continuity, scale, learning and improved decommissioning performance Lean Decom transfers practical decommissioning experience, context and lessons learned to help experienced oil and gas professionals make more informed decisions and support stronger decommissioning performance. As Joe highlights, contracting strategy in decommissioning is not simply about choosing the lowest price. It is about understanding risk, uncertainty, liability and capability — then selecting the commercial model that best supports the scope. This is one of 18 video-based modules within the Lean Decom online course. Build understanding. Drive decommissioning performance. #Decommissioning #OilAndGas #AssetRetirement #leandecom

Lee Vettese of ASCO Group features in the Lean Decom Materials Management focused course module. ➡️ Access a free trial here: https://lnkd.in/e8Vre3Q5 We’re continuing the celebration of the launch of Lean Decom, the online offshore decommissioning training course built to help experienced oil and gas professionals strengthen understanding and drive decommissioning performance.

This short video gives a sample from one of the course modules, Materials Management, led by Lee Vetesse, who works across environmental and decommissioning projects globally at ASCO. In this module, Lee shares practical context and supply chain insight around: ✅ why decommissioning materials management is not simply “disposal”, but careful receipt, cleaning, repurposing, recycling and recovery ✅ why less than 2% of recovered material may ultimately require disposal when managed correctly ✅ how dimensions, weights, material types, contaminants and end-of-life destinations all affect planning, cost and risk ✅ why all materials should be treated as potentially hazardous until proven otherwise ✅ common material streams, including topsides, FPSOs, pipelines, umbilicals, risers, flowlines, Christmas trees, wellheads, manifolds and concrete mattresses ✅ hazardous material considerations, including NORM, mercury, hydrogen sulphide, benzene, asbestos, heavy metals, coatings and hydrocarbon residues ✅ why early hazardous material assessments, NORM surveys, visual inspections and accurate data gathering are essential before removal ✅ how poor classification and consignment can lead to cross-contamination, wasted time, increased cost and health risks ✅ why ports, permits, bunding, ground conditions, transportability and road movements must be considered early ✅ how reuse, repurposing and recycling can help operators reduce waste and maximise recoverable value ✅ why early supply chain engagement can unlock significant cost savings across lifting, transport, craneage, vessel time and disposal routes Lean Decom transfers practical decommissioning experience, context and lessons learned to help experienced oil and gas professionals make more informed decisions and support stronger decommissioning performance. As Lee highlights, decommissioning materials management is not about throwing things away. It is about planning early, reducing risk, recovering value and keeping materials moving safely through the right route. This is one of 18 video-based modules within the Lean Decom online course.
