The global decommissioning of ageing oil and gas facilities is projected to be a $42 billion market by 2024, led by the UK North Sea. Decommissioning is a massive challenge in its sheer scale and complexity. But it also harbours exciting opportunities for the marine environment and the transition to a low-carbon energy system.
Story maps, underpinned by geospatial data, can help with the communication and understanding of complex topics. Check out our latest story map to understand:
- How oil platforms are brought back to shore and recycled.
- The scale of the decommissioning challenge.
- Opportunities for repurposing old platforms in new, surprising ways to support the marine environment and the energy transition.
