Well Plug and Abandonment (P&A)

Well plug and abandonment activity is currently the largest predicted spend in decommissioning.  Ensuring well integrity after abandonment and removal of sea bed structures is necessary to prevent safety issues from well blowouts, environmental harm from leakage of hydrocarbons, or interference with other marine activities from wellheads after activities have ceased.
