Dear Colleague,With decommissioning in the Gulf of Mexico at an all-time high, operators are keen to complete their projects in a safe and cost efficient way in order to reduce their liabilities. Well plugging and abandonment is one of the biggest challenges within the decommissioning process and can account for up to 40% of all decommissioning costs.

Well P&A is one of the initial stages of a facility decommissioning program and only through forward planning can the operators’ increase the likelihood of success with a P&A program while effectively managing its cost.

In the Gulf of Mexico alone, 1200 wells will be plugged every year creating a multi-billion dollar market!

It is essential for wells to be plugged and abandoned correctly first time around to prevent unnecessary revisits and huge cost implications. New technologies and approaches are being pioneered globally to improve well plugging and abandonment methods and avoid expensive bubbling wells.

Plugging and abandoning wells is costly, technically challenging and potentially hazardous both to the workforce and the environment. With operators eager to reduce project risk and minimize costs, careful planning and common sense strategies need to be put in place throughout the P&A process.

DecomWorld has kept up with the latest projects, market trends and innovative technologies in the P&A sector to provide you with all of the answers that you need to improve well plugging and abandonment execution with the latest experience and technologies:

> P&A Regulations and Permitting

> Well Integrity Issues

> Driving Project Efficiencies

> Cementing Strategies

> Staffing and HR Issues

> Bubbling Wells

> Safety Challenges

> Cutting Options Pricing and Costing Strategies

> Hurricane Damaged Wells

> Subsea Wells

> Long-Term P&A Performance

> Operational Challenges

The Well Plugging & Abandonment Conference will bring together 200+ plugging and abandonment experts under one roof to receive up-to-the-minute business intelligence that touches on every element of the P&A process.

Register today, by making use of the early booking discounts (either using the booking form enclosed in this brochure or via our secure website)

I look forward to seeing you in Houston, TX in May 2012.
