Crew transfer by crane in decommissioning

Industry focus

The subject of decommissioning is persistent, constantly being revisited and talked about, yet somehow always escaping attention and getting postponed. As we near the end of 2020, yet again it comes on the radar. In the UK North Sea, decommissioning expenditure was 30% lower than expected in 2020, according to OGUK (the UK Oil and Gas Industry Association Limited): "It is clear there is no rush to decommission and as with every part of the oil and gas business, reduced cash flow is impacting decommissioning plans”.

LNG: growth expected in 2021 & new possibilities with FROG-XT2

With half the CO2 emissions of coal, natural gas is deemed to be much more environmentally friendly and in the recent years has gained a lot more attention and investment as a potential transition energy source. The beginning of 2020 saw Shell’s LNG Outlook report: “Global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) grew by 12.5% to 359 million tonnes in 2019 - a significant increase that bolsters LNG’s growing role in the transition to a lower-carbon energy system.”1 However, the global pandemic and economic downturn later saw the whole of oil & gas industry struggling with a major drop in demand, including the LNG market. The impact of 2020 crisis is expected to have repercussions on the medium-term growth potential, resulting in about 75 bcm of lost growth over the forecast period, 2019 to 2025, according to the IEA2.
