Our Approach
Structured Cost Estimation for a Complex Scope
Decommissioning cost estimation requires specialized data, methodologies and regulatory expertise. Our approach integrates all three.
Executed Project Benchmarks
CAF Kpex module E.1 contains historical decommissioning cost data from executed offshore and onshore projects — used to validate and calibrate every estimate we produce.
Regulatory Alignment
All cost estimates are structured around applicable regulatory frameworks — OSPAR, BSEE, UK HSE, Norwegian PSA and other jurisdiction-specific requirements.
Risk & Contingency Quantification
We apply structured risk analysis and scenario planning to develop P10/P50/P90 cost ranges for decommissioning budgets.
Market-Calibrated Rates
Vessel day rates, rig costs, specialist contractor fees and waste disposal costs are benchmarked to current and forecast market conditions by geography.
Schedule-Integrated Costing
Decommissioning costs are highly schedule-sensitive. Our estimates are tightly integrated with project schedule and campaign sequencing to reflect real cost drivers.
Audit-Ready Documentation
All estimates include a fully documented basis, assumptions, exclusions and data sources — structured for regulatory submission, financial provisioning and audit review.
