Xodus Group delivered a decommissioning and abandonment study for wells, surface and subsea facilities in Tunisia on behalf of Thyna Petroleum Services (TPS).
Xodus developed a decommissioning cost estimate for four onshore fields, one offshore field and two onshore storage and processing sites. The six-week study provided a high-level risk and opportunities assessment and reviewed regulatory and environmental aspects for facility and infrastructure removal.
The scope of work also included the creation of an asset register, the development of an abandonment strategy and site remediation in line with current industry best practice and in-country regulations.
The study allows the joint venture partners to define their cost liabilities towards decommissioning as well as a timeline for the project.
Xodus views Tunisia and North Africa as growing areas for decommissioning. Last year, the company delivered a similar scope of work for a large offshore complex in Tunisia.
The company also performed a study of decommissioning procedures in Tunisia compared to the North Sea – understanding the regulatory regimes and execution practices to include in cost estimates and methodology.
