An Assessment of Environmental Impact on Offshore Decommissioning of Oil and Gas Pipelines

There has been a steady growth in the length of pipelines over past 45 years, with 6000 operating platforms extracting oil. Several facilities would reach their operational life, which can no longer be economically viable for production and will eventually undergo decommissioning procedure. Almost 3000 petroleum industries likely decommissioned worldwide next 17 years. By 2030, total cost globally amounted to about USD 104.5 billion. The choice decommission offshore oil gas sector is considered complicated crucial as it must evaluate numerous variables such cost, health safety, environmental consequences. This review paper aims assess activity, specifically on industry. purpose this study understand significant impacts associated propose mitigation measures address challenges decommissioning. Waste disposal, threat biodiversity air pollution, major concern pipelines. Among measures, leave in-situ lowest impact while repurposing recycling, application qualitatively quantitatively by integrating 3D information models, mathematical models embedded hydrodynamic look promising
