Planning for Waste in Decommissioning

In this episode, CEO Francis Norman and General Manager Rean Gilbert are joined by Kelly Smith, Group Head of Environmental and Decommissioning at ASCO, to explore the complexities of waste management in offshore decommissioning. The conversation covers the importance of early planning, the wide range of waste streams generated during decommissioning, and the risks created by fragmented supply chains and poor handovers. Kelly also shares insights into managing NORM, applying circular economy principles, the hidden costs of waste management, and the lessons Australia can draw from the more mature North Sea market. The discussion also looks at how technology, data and traceability are shaping the future of decommissioning waste management.
