New OGUK steering group to guide decommissioning priorities

The group, led by THREE60 Energy chief executive Walter Thain, will lead the sector in delivering safe and environmentally sound decommissioning while meeting decarbonisation goals.

Tasked with setting the agenda for UK North Sea decommissioning, Oil & Gas UK (OGUK) said the cross-industry group will set out its priorities at the trade body’s flagship decommissioning event in St Andrews later this month.

Its goals include maintaining and developing the UK decommissioning supply chain, promoting new technologies and ensuring decommissioning can be delivered in a low-carbon way as the UK and oil industry work towards a 2050 net zero emissions target.
