Given the maturity of the UKCS, Aberdeen is currently one of the most important petroleum decommissioning centres in the world. But decommissioning is casting a long shadow over multiple jurisdictions and it is vital that best practices be applied worldwide. Speakers of this webinar will analyse the two great Lusophone offshore producing jurisdictions, Angola and Brazil, as well as an important far Eastern jurisdiction, Thailand.
