Summary
A call for evidence to identify what more should be done to
further strengthen Scotland and the UK’s position as a global hub
for decommissioning.
This consultation closes at
11:45pm on 8 May 2019
Consultation description
The call for evidence focuses on 2 central themes:
- building on the existing fiscal, policy and collaborative
measures, how the UK decommissioning industry could further
improve its ability to serve the UK market,
support MER UK and reduce the overall
costs of decommissioning
- what could be done to encourage the domestic industry to
export its decommissioning expertise abroad and position
Scotland, together with the rest of the UK, as a world
leading hub for decommissioning
We’re seeking views from:
- industry
- trade associations
- research and technology organisations
-
MER UK Taskforces, established by the Oil
and Gas Authority (OGA)
- any other interested party, including academia
Responses to this call will:
- allow the government, industry and the Oil and Gas
Authority to assess the relative strengths of the UK
decommissioning industry
- contribute to a strategic and coordinated approach to
policy, to ensure that our supply chain benefits from the
opportunities that will arise from this phase of the
industry’s life cycle
- ensure we are prepared for global opportunities, forecast
to be worth around £80 billion over the next 10 years
