Abandonment & Decommissioning


Well abandonment is a natural part of the oilfield lifecycle. Waterford’s experience across the globe can help clients navigate the dynamic, complex process of well abandonment to ensure compliance with all industry and regulatory requirements. Waterford will ensure seabed or site reclamation takes place in an environmentally sensitive manner, remaining reserves are protected, safeguard the freshwater sources penetrated by the wellbore and prevent surface pollution.

Our W-Assure Well Integrity module is an effective screening tool to establish barriers, what their reliability may be and what could be required to make them effective whether the well is to stay in production or be abandoned.
