Join CODA’s Partnership Program
CODA’s Partnership Program enables companies of all sizes in the decommissioning value chain to make modest financial contributions and become partners with CODA. These monetary contributions will give our partners access to materials such as full versions of our recently completed studies and associated materials and more, while helping us to undertake more collaborative work.
Partner spotlight: Ausdecom
We are thrilled to work with such a diverse number of businesses who have a wealth of different decommissioning services, offerings, skills and capabilities available. In this issue of CODA Connect, we'd like to take a closer look at Ausdecom.
From asset retirement concept planning through to operational completion, Ausdecom advise and support operators, removal contractors through the stages of the onshore decommissioning, dismantling and disposal process. This includes facility provision, full engineering, site project management and all operational resourcing.
Services range from:
- Front end feasibility studies for selection of project specific ports and quaysides.
- Class 2 cost estimation and realistic scheduling of the onshore disposal phase execution.
- Assessment and method selection covering the onshore dismantling and recycling based on specific offshore removal campaigns.
- Engineering for quayside load-ins, laydown arrangements, and logistics.
- Reuse, repurposing, dismantling, decontamination, recycling, and disposal of all assets in line with hierarchy and circular economy principles.
- Advanced recycling solutions for subsea umbilical, risers, and flowlines (SURF).
- Waste Management including, Hazardous, NORM and Mercury management, in strict adherence with auditable end-to-end tracking processes.
- Environmental Reporting and Project Closure Reports in strict compliance with our integrated ISO 45001, 14001, 9001 accredited business management system.

With demonstrable self-performing decommissioning experience within the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Defence, Marine, Quarries, Smelting, and Heavy Industrial Manufacturing sectors, across live operating environments or closed, redundant sites nationally.
Australia wide, Ausdecom own and operate one of the largest specialist industrial dismantling plant fleets backed by highly skilled in-house operators, engineers, and project management teams capable of executing the most complex of decommissioning projects.
New report released
We're pleased to announce the release of our latest report Global Review of Decommissioning Planning and Execution Learnings. The full version of this report has now been shared with all our partners, as well as the accompanying lessons learned and best practice register.
For non-partners, the executive summary is publicly available on our website.
Looking ahead
2023 is just around the corner and CODA is excited to be taking part in the following decommissioning events over the coming months:
AOG Energy 2023 - Mar 15-17, 2023
CODA is taking a leading role in the planning, preparation and delivery of AOG Energy 2023 as the event's decommissioning partner, where we will be coordinating and hosting two decommissioning sessions at the Industry Supply Forum on Day 1.
D&A AUS 2023 - May 30-31, 2023
Australia’s leading decommissioning conference D&A AUS is returning to Perth for everything new in the decommissioning and abandonment market.
D&A AUS, in partnership with CODA, will be bringing together Australia’s decommissioning industry to map out regulatory updates, upcoming projects, lessons learnt, new best practices and the trail blazing technology available to improve future well work!
NDRI (National Decommissioning Research Initiative) update
NDRI continues to do important research to better understand the impacts of decommissioning oil and gas structures on the Australian marine environment and is thrilled to have a number of newly published research papers available for review on our website.
- Report A - Predicting the lifespan and corrosion behaviour of decommissioned oil and gas metallic infrastructure in the ocean
- Report B - Literature review on prediction of lifespan and corrosion behaviour in the ocean
- Report C - Monitoring localised corrosion behaviour of decommissioned O & G metallic infrastructure in the ocean
- Report D - Knowledge gaps in the prediction of the lifespan and corrosion behaviour of decommissioned oil and gas infrastructure in the ocean
Visit our research library to view further published reports from the NDRI as well as other environmental and marine research related to decommissioning. Over the coming months additional NDRI papers will be added to the library – so keep an eye out.
