| Abstract | Within the North Sea Oil & Gas sector, decommissioning of oil field inventory is set to become a major sub- sector in it's own right. The logistical and environmental challenges present a unique and discernable opportunity for the development of reliable, repeatable and cost effective techniques which have strong market potential regionally and globally for many years to come. To address these needs, a consortium led by marine consultants Safeguard Nautica Ltd, will perform a Technical Feasibility Study for a subsea cutting system optimised for piled foundation removal. The project is supported by an expert design engineering knowledge base from Plymouth Univeristy and will including experimental testing facilitated by specialist marine and offshore fabrication company, Exeter Fabrication Ltd.Within the North Sea Oil & Gas sector, decommissioning of oil field inventory is set to become a major sub- sector in it's own right.
