Well abandonment

We can help minimise risk, reduce contractual burden and generate value through innovative and effective management of well plugging and abandonment.

Our unique strategies have helped clients save millions and reduce their timelines, such as with our work for Tullow.

Our dedicated well abandonment team manages projects and engages with third party suppliers on your behalf. We provide a full-service capability to enable you to abandon wells safely and cost-effectively, whilst relieving you of the administrative burden.

Through our deep understanding of the issues and challenges facing both onshore and offshore abandonment projects - and rig or rigless abandonment operations - we take a safe and fit-for-purpose approach to every project, from initial review through to abandonment methodology selection, detailed planning and engineering, project execution and abandonment.
