Decommissioning

Safely dismantling the old

Decommissioning refers to the process of safely shutting down and dismantling facilities, equipment, or infrastructure that are no longer needed or in use. At Align Oil and Gas, we have built an enviable track record in decommissioning, solving challenges for our clients when they needed us the most.
Since 2008, Align Oil and Gas has provided decommissioning solutions to the Oil and Gas industry across the globe. Our team of in-house decommissioning specialists offers topside services from the early stages of Engineering and lifting preparation, through to level 3 mapping and final stage decontamination and waste handling.
With the option to bundle services from Align Oil and Gas, conventional solutions, and partners, we enable our customers to reduce the number of contract integrations across the EPRD lifecycle. Integrating directly with Asset Owners, Operators, Heavy Lift Vessel Owners, and Ports, Align Oil and Gas is well-positioned to undertake projects large or small.
Our expertise, experience, and internal decommissioning capabilities ensure that although scopes may be greatly different, each one follows a stringent process to ensure customers are provided a consistently high standard for their bespoke requirements.
Each and every project undertaken by our team of experts has the primary aim of mitigating environmental impact, whilst ensuring that we safely and efficiently execute our operations on these assets.
