Dr. Brian Twomey is the Managing Director of Reverse Engineering Services Ltd. Manchester, UK and is responsible for decommissioning and abandonment operations planning, decommissioning engineering, peer review work and cost analysis. He has worked on oil & gas decommissioning and pipeline issues for over 24 years and has carried out decommissioning studies/work on over 780 offshore, subseas, subsurface and onshore installations worldwide. In 2012, Dr. Twomey co-authored with ASCOPE, the ASCOPE Decommissioning Guidelines which will be released this year. Dr. Twomey has a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from Birmingham, a dual MSc in Applied Mechanics & Composite Materials and a PhD in Applied Mechanics from University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST).
Who Should Attend? This introduction level course is for Engineering Managers, Decommissioning Engineers, Environmental Managers, HSE Managers, Regulators, Accountants, Governance Managers, Insurance Brokers, Lawyers, professionals involved with Economic Evaluations, Forecasting, and Economic Decisions in the upstream Oil and Gas business. Why You Should Attend? Decommissioning is a rapidly developing market sector in the petroleum business, with major potential and major risks. Decommissioning is a source of major liability for countries, operators, contractors and the public, which must be understood if it is to be managed cost effectively.

Introduction to Decommissioning
Introduction to Decommissioning Definitions Decommissioning produces guarantee projects The Paradox of the timing of decommissioning Is decommissioning reverse construction? Decommissioning strategic challenges What Effects the Selection of a Decommissioning Solution? Key concepts in decommissioning & how it effects your business Benchmarking the quality of decommissioning estimates versus decommissioning actual costs Future decommissioning liability - how to manage? Drivers which effect the selection of a decommissioning option Discussion on lessons learned

Worldwide Decommissioning Experience

Decommissioning in the GOM Gulf of Mexico (GOM) experience over the last 60 years Future challenges - Platforms larger than 4,000mt, in-depth greater than 400ft Pipelines and subsea Environmental and safety aspects Case Study 1: GOM platform removal (VIDEO) Case Study 2: Removal of small platform using Versatruss HLV (VIDEO) Case Study 3: Rigs-to-reef & toppling experience (VIDEO) Lessons learned from the GOM decommissioning projects Offshore Decommissioning Experience in North Sea North Sea experience over the last 40 years Brent Spar incident and effect on decommissioning in OSPAR region Pipelines and subsea Environmental and safety aspects Toppling & derogation experience Case Study 4: North West Hutton (VIDEO) Case Study 5: Frigg Field (VIDEO) Case Study 6: Inde Field (VIDEO) Lessons learned from the North Sea decommissioning projects Decommissioning in the Asia Pacific Asia Pacific experience over the last 40 years Case Study 7: Various platforms in Brunei Case Study 8: Ketam A, Sarawak, Malaysia (VIDEO) Case Study 9: Iwaki, Japan (VIDEO) Lessons learned from Brunei, Malaysia and Japan

Rules Which Governs the Decommissioning Strategy

Law, Regulation & Guidelines Applied to Decommissioning Layers & regulation effecting decommissioning International law, regulations & guidelines Regional regulations National regulations Production sharing agreements Examples of the adoption of legal framework and learning from other regions of the world Effect of Law & Regulation on Decommissioning Costs Comparison of the effect of international & regional laws & regulations on decommissioning costs Examples of how inflexible law & regulation can escalate decommissioning costs with no real environmental or social gain Case-by-Case Flexibility to choose best option The Regulators Perspective on Decommissioning Regulators Pre & Post Brent Spar Financial security - Ability to fund decommissioning as end of life Management of the escalation of decommissioning costs Other issues concerning regulators Brent Spar incident & effect on decommissioning in OSPAR region Public Perception, Governance & Reputation Management What is public perception? Public perception and decommissioning Effect of public perception on decommissioning Lessons learned

Cessation of Production vs. Decommissioning
Transition from COP to Decommissioning Late life strategy and planning Changing mind-set from operations The decommissioning programme and timeline on cessation Managing expectations during late life phase Operating costs versus decommissioning costs Stages in the Decommissioning Process Identification of the stages in decommissioning Explanation of each decommissioning stage Environmental considerations Safety considerations

Subsea & Subsurface Decommissioning

Pipelines, FPSO & Subsea Decommissioning Decommissioning of pipelines, flow lines, power cables etc. Disconnection of FPSO, umbilicals, MWA and mooring system Decommissioning of FPSO seabed production systems Types of subsea production systems Example 1 of a subsea decommissioning: Shelly Field, UK Example 2 of a subsea decommissioning: NWH Field, UK Example 3 of a deepwater decommissioning: Italy Fundamentals of Well P&A Typical well P&A regulations Compliance Summary of well P&A requirements Discussion on fundamental P&A options: Rig versus Rig-less etc. Managing well P&A interfaces Escalating costs Example of a Well P&A project
