DECOM North Sea has released the final version of its Decom Week programme, as it gears up to a series of events which will gather together the global decommissioning sector for five days of knowledge sharing, debate, socialising and the recognition of sector achievements.
Headline sponsored by Atlas Decom and taking place 16th – 20th May, the core two-day conference opens on Wednesday 18th May. The agenda is set to focus upon the decarbonisation of decommissioning, its place in the wider energy transition, the central role of well abandonment and international opportunities for decommissioning capability.
