Regulation of Decommissioning, Abandonment and Reuse Initiatives in the Oil and Gas Industry

About this book

The Regulation of Decommissioning, Abandonment and Reuse Initiatives in the Oil and Gas Industry is an expansive book which divulges a comprehensive description and critique of the key issues that must be addressed by nations, and of the current international, regional, and national law and policy in this field. With thousands of offshore oil and gas platforms in place across the globe, the decommissioning of these ageing installations is becoming of increasing concern to regulators, industry and other stakeholders in the marine environment. This book elucidates current initiatives aimed at maximising reuse and repurposing opportunities, such as wind power, hydrogen, carbon capture, and storage by analysing the relevant law and practices of selected oil- and gas-producing nations.
