The Centre of Decommissioning Australia (CODA) has released the latest update to its Decommissioning Forward Outlook, with a focus on improving data quality, consistency and usability across the platform.

The Decommissioning Forward Outlook is a dynamic, interactive online tool developed by CODA to enhance visibility of forecast decommissioning activity, support planning, and promote collaboration within the Australian offshore oil and gas and decommissioning industry. The database has been compiled from publicly available information, including plans and proposals submitted for approval to offshore regulators. Users can explore asset characteristics across fixed and floating facilities, subsea infrastructure, pipelines, and wells, alongside detailed insights into upcoming decommissioning workload and project timelines.

The update represents a continued refinement of the underlying dataset, strengthening how offshore activities are identified, classified, and presented. Enhancements to the Outlook’s AI capability have been undertaken with the support of rahd·AI, facilitating more accurate identification and recognition of offshore activity and improving the overall reliability of the data.

A broader review of the dataset has also been undertaken, addressing duplication, aligning lifecycle stages across projects, and refining activity definitions to better reflect how offshore projects are described in regulatory submissions. This provides a clearer and more consistent view of development, operations, cessation of production, and decommissioning phases.

Additionally the Outlook platform has been rebuilt, enabling faster updates and delivering greater granularity across activities and timelines.

Jake Stride, rahd·AI CEO and co-founder, said, “A big part of this update was tackling inconsistency in how decommissioning activities are defined and structured across different sources. CODA’s insight into the industry has been key in helping us shape a dataset that better reflects how decommissioning is planned and executed.”
