Offshore Decommissioning Market size was valued at USD 5,905 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a 7.7% CAGR over the forecasting years 2024 - 2030. The Offshore Decommissioning Market is projected to reach USD 9,888.5 million by 2030. Surge in number of orphaned wells, the existence of large, established offshore oilfields, and the increased attention and funding provided by governments for well plug and abandoned activities is expected to fuel the demand for offshore decommissioning market. As such, in April 2021, a bill was introduced in the US parliament that would authorize USD 8 billion to clean up abandoned oil wells across the nation to create jobs for oil and gas workers and reduce emissions that contribute to climate change.
Offshore Decommissioning Market Key Developments:
- In March 2024, Houston-based Vaalco Energy is buying Sweden's Svenska Petroleum Exploration, allowing it to extend its asset collection with an offshore block in Cote d'lvoire, West Africa.
- On 1 May 2024, The UK's export credit agency has concluded its first transaction to enable offshore oil and gas decommissioning. Ocyan is utilizing UK equipment to remove subsea cables and pipes from offshore oil and gas rigs in Brazilian waters. A $7.5 million UKEF loan guarantee enables Brazilian firm Ocyan to acquire cutting-edge equipment from Scottish company Maritime Developments Ltd.

Offshore Decommissioning Market Dynamics
The demand for offshore decommissioning is rising due to increased number of old oil and gasoline platforms across the globe. The main reason for decommissioning an oil field is a decrease in the production of natural gas or crude oil from producing wells. Rules and regulations for offshore oil and gas operations have been created by regulatory bodies in several nations, and this will positively affect market CAGR over the course of the forecast period.
In addition, a surge in the demand for gas and oil is anticipated to propel market growth in the upcoming years. In recent years, the possibility of offshore decommissioning approaches has increased due to low oil prices and challenges in maintaining the fields. The Offshore Decommissioning Market is also being driven by the discovery and improvement of new oil reserves. However, the high cost of decommissioning platforms can vary greatly based on the area, climate, and regulations. It's a challenging operation that requires a variety of tools and skilled workers, which are restraining the market.

Offshore Decommissioning Market Regional Analysis
Based on regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa. The market for the European region is expected to expand significantly because of increased European government initiatives and investment in the region. Europe was among the first to use offshore oil and gas infrastructure, the majority of which has been decommissioned in recent years. Over 950,000 tonnes of topsides are expected to be removed across Europe's North Sea, with the UK accounting for more than 605,000 tons. The UK is expected to spend approximately EUR 15.3 billion on offshore decommissioning. By 2027, around 2,400 wells in the North Sea and west of Shetland are expected to be deactivated. As a result, factors such as growing government investment in offshore decommissioning projects and the region's aging mature oilfields are expected to fuel market demand for offshore discharge services.
