“There is an entire industry involved in decommissioning activities, from the engineering project to the shipyards, with the generation of jobs and income along this entire chain. Worldwide, it is estimated that at least US$ 85 billion will be spent on decommissioning this decade. In Brazil, this industry should move R$ 28 billion by 2025, including razing and abandonment of wells, recovery of areas and removal of equipment. Most of these resources will go to the Campos and Santos basins, but there will also be opportunities in practically all regions of the country, as in the case of the Potiguar, Sergipe-Alagoas, Solimões and Amazonas basins”, stated Rodolfo Saboia.
Also present at the launch of the Offshore Decommissioning Card in Brazil were the ANP's Operational Safety and Environment superintendent, Raphael Moura, and representatives from FGV and companies in the oil and gas sector.
Diagnostics on the decommissioning activity in Brazil were deepened at the event, through the perspectives of different actors, and its purpose is to address opportunities, challenges and solutions, as well as clarify society about the possibilities of this activity in Brazil.
