OIM's aim is to provide a cost-effective and practical solution in response to a rapidly growing demand for plug and abandonment (P&A) operations on offshore oil wells, and decommissioning platform removal.

"The cost estimates for P&A and decommissioning until 2050 in the UK alone will be approximately $63bn."

As OIM’s focus will be on P&A and decommissioning services, TSC will be able to leverage its expertise in drilling engineering, offshore rig equipment manufacturing, and jack-up rig solution capabilities, in a profitable segment of the oil and gas industry.

Many of the wells and offshore platforms in the North Sea, and other areas worldwide, have entered late stages of their life span, and therefore the requirements for P&A and decommissioning services will increase significantly over the next two to three decades.
