With approximately 2,996 production platforms (distinguished from drilling rigs) on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), BSEE records indicate that 813 platforms currently fit the criteria of idle iron or are non-producing in this region.

With such a huge number of platforms for the industry to decommission, it is more important than ever to share best practice approaches, new technological breakthroughs and project case studies to ensure that all projects are completed on time and on budget.

below is the breakdown from bSEE on the non-producing assets within their jurisdiction

> 258 are on Expired/Terminated/Relinquished Leases

> 432 have enough material to be considered under Rigs-to-Reefs:

• Only 156 are in water depths that would allow for ‘Reefing-in-place’

> 6 Permit Applications were denied for Rigs-to-Reefs issues

• 5 for toppled/damaged facilities with not enough material, too close to existing reef sites, etc.)

• 5 of the 6 Denied Applications were resubmitted for complete removal/disposal on shore

> 386 Structures have actually been reefed since 1973 under a state artificial reef plan

> 9 Removal Applications currently pending with Rigs-to-Reefs proposals.

The Decommissioning and Abandonment Summit will take place on March 19-21, 2013 and is the only place where you'll be able to hear from the key operators driving their decommissioning plans forward, BSEE experts on regulatory & licensing updates AND the major technology & service providers producing innovative new ideas for the industry. This information will help you form a complete, successful strategy based on the latest information and updates.

Not only that - but you'll be able to meet, network and share information with over 800+ senior decommissioning decision makers. At a time when liabilities are high and work is plenty - can you afford not to attend?

I look forward to seeing you in houston, TX in march 2013.
