Abstract

Offshore platforms decommissioning hasbecome a central issue in the oil andgas industry in
recent times. The burden of decommissioning earlierplatforms which did not incorporate the
costs of decommissioning in their concession agreements with operators falls squarely on
national governments. However, in recent concession contracts, operators are nowmandated
to set aside an annual amount into a special account created specifically to cater for
decommissioning at the end of the concession or economic life of the platform. However, a
common challenge facing the industry is determining accurate decommissioning costs for
offshore platforms. Afurther challenge is thefact that no twoplatforms are the same, thereby
introducing an element of uncertainty into current estimates. Hence taking this into
cognizance, a model was designed to enumerate a range rather than an exact cost estimate.
