Offshore Decommissioning Market Share: By Service Type

Based on the service type, the market is segmented as project management, engineering and planning, permitting and regulatory compliance, platform preparation, well plugging and abandonment, conductor removal, mobilization and demobilization of derrick barges, platform removal, pipeline and power cable decommissioning, materials disposal, and site clearance.

The well plugging & abandonment segment is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period, driven by demand from the European market. Well plugging & abandonment holds up to 45% share of the total decommissioning cost of a project.

Offshore Decommissioning Market Share: By Depth Type

Based on the depth type, the market is segmented as shallow water and deepwater. The shallow water segment is estimated to capture the larger share of the market and is projected to maintain its edge over deepwater segment, owing to its lower operational costs. Regardless, in the future, the deepwater segment would compete with the shallow water segment as many platform installations are now, at deepwater and ultra-deepwater depths.

Offshore Decommissioning Market Share: By Structure Type

Based on the structure type, the market is segmented as topsides, substructure, and subsea infrastructure. The topsides segment captured the largest share of the market in 2019, and is estimated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is attributed to offshore platforms and decommissioning of topsides and related equipment that need specialized heavy lift vessels and removal equipment.

Offshore Decommissioning Market Share: By Removal Type

Based on the removal type, the market is segmented as partial, leave in place, and complete removal types. The complete removal segment is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is due to the enactment of brassbound regulations for complete offshore platform removal to restore marine life and seafloor to its pre-production conditions.

Offshore Decommissioning Market Share: By Region

In terms of regions, Europe accounts for the largest share of the offshore decommissioning market followed by North America. The European market is also expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. Factors driving the region’s market are mature oil and gas fields, particularly in the UK and the North Sea. Further, the imminent cessation of production in major oil and gas fields offers lucrative growth opportunities in the European market. North America and Asia-Pacific are also expected to offer considerable growth opportunities during the forecast period.
