D&A GOM, the world’s leading decommissioning conference, is all set to open its doors on 8 April in Houston!
The two-day event, held in partnership with Promethean Energy at Norris Conference Centers, Houston City Center, will provide an unmissable opportunity to gain exclusive access to the latest operator case studies, decommissioning strategies, regulatory insights and best-in-class technology to create long-lasting partnerships for upcoming abandonment campaigns. Delegates will also be able to get together with more than 600 decommissioning decision makers at dedicated networking events.
Leading operators including Apache, bp, Chevron, HESS, LLOG exploration, Petrobras, Promethean Energy, Shell and Woodside will share their decommissioning insights, along with other leading industry experts.
With environmental factors coming to the fore, the event will kick off with an opening presentation on the circular economy and decommissioning, followed by a panel session on reefing processes in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and presentations focusing on platform reuse and recycling. This will be followed by sessions focusing on aspects of planning and execution of decommissioning projects, a highlight being presentations focusing on the challenges, learnings and success factors of the Chevron Genesis Spar removal campaign.
As a forum for the sharing of international expertise, the event will feature international decommissioning case studies and overviews from the North Sea, Australia and Brazil. A highlight will be a panel session on pipelines, where senior managers and directors from Offshore Operators Committee, bp, Woodside and Appache will discuss global approaches to pipeline removal. This will be followed by a case study from Shell focusing on the relationship between circularity and decommissioning and how these concepts were applied in an offshore field in Brazil.
All the latest technology advances will be covered, from Oilfield Service Professionals’ modular, high-performance drillable technologies for enhanced wellbore isolation and remediation to Rotech Subsea’s state-of-the-art CFE tools and pipeline grabs and Welltec’s advanced wireline intervention tools.
“Last year demonstrated how critical this topic still is with the community as 500+ delegates joined us in Houston from all over the world, as we discussed the pertinent issues within decommissioning and abandonment. We are confident we can build on the successful 2024 conference by ensuring that lessons learned and critical case studies are discussed in 2025,” said Joseph Watson, Lead Project Manager.
Featuring 600+ delegates, 20+ operator delegations, more than 40 expert speakers, 35 decom tech demos, three breakout technical workshops and eight bespoke networking sessions, D&A GOM 2025 promises to be an unmissable event in the region’s oil and gas calendar.
