Accelerating the development Rigless P&A Technology
CODA is proud to be partnering with the Net Zero Technology Centre to bring this exciting multi-operator initiative accelerating the development of rigless P&A technology.
Call for solutions
Closing date: 31 May 2024
NZTC’s Well Decommissioning Collaboration initiative is accelerating the pace at which well decommissioning technology is qualified and commercialised to reach industry targets of 10% cost reduction in well decommissioning by 2028 and 50% emissions reduction by 2030.
The multi-operator initiative is already providing industry with access to new technologies, additional data collection from other operators, and reduced investment risk.
Successful applicants will have the potential to join the initiative for support in developing, trialling and testing their solutions, gaining exposure to industry-leading operators Harbour Energy, ConocoPhillips, Respol, TotalEnergies and Petrobras.

D&A AUS 2024
19-21 JUNE 2024 | CROWN PERTH
CODA is proud to partner with Offshore Network Ltd. to bring you Australia’s premier decommissioning and abandonment conference, D&A AUS 2024, now just one month away!
This year’s conference promises to be the largest yet, with only a few tickets remaining. Join us, along with Australian Government members, regulators, operators, and service providers, for three days of essential decommissioning updates.
Places are running out, so register your attendance today.
NDRI (National Decommissioning Research Initiative) update
The NDRI continues to do important research to better understand the impacts of decommissioning oil and gas structures on the Australian marine environment.
NDRI at D&A AUS 2024
Join the NDRI at the upcoming D&A AUS 2024 conference, where Program Director Renae Larsen will present on "Understanding the Risks, Impacts, and Benefits of Decommissioning Options for Australia’s Marine Environment."
In her presentation, Renae will outline efforts to bridge key scientific knowledge gaps and discuss how collaborative engagement with regulators, researchers, and stakeholders is informing the science.
Additionally, Dr. Darren Koppel, a Research Scientist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science, will present "Towards an Assessment Framework for Mercury and NORM Contamination in Decommissioning." Learn about the NDRI's development of an assessment framework for NORM and mercury to support in-situ decommissioning decision-making.
Discover how engagement with regulators and scientists helps deliver a framework aligned with regulatory requirements. Consider the long-term fate of contaminants, a significant knowledge gap that necessitates a conservative approach to risk assessments.
