National Decommissioning Research Initiative update
The second NDRI project paper has been published in the Global Change Biology journal.
This paper summarises the current state of knowledge of oil and gas infrastructure in maintaining, altering, or enhancing ecological connectivity with natural marine habitats. It also discusses the potential impacts of different decommissioning approaches on seascape connectivity.
The research is informing government, industry and regulator discussions about best practice for the decommissioning of Australia's aging oil and gas infrastructure.
