Nexstep - National Platform for Re-use & Decommissioning

📣 Vandaag in De Telegraaf: Nexstep over toename ontmanteling en hergebruik platforms In haar jaarrapport 2024 “Responsible decommissioning” belicht Nexstep de toename van de huidige en verwachte ontmantelingsactiviteiten. 👉 Voor het artikel dat De Telegraaf vandaag naar aanleiding van dit rapport publiceert, zie: https://lnkd.in/eeec9Tpb. 👉 Voor het rapport, zie: https://lnkd.in/ePDRT6tM. De highlights: ▶ Binnen tien jaar verdwijnt ruim de helft van alle Nederlandse olie- en gasplatforms ▶ In demontage en hergebruik van platforms is een gezonde concurrentie gaande ▶ Om putten te sluiten en platforms te ontmantelen hebben operators voldoende middelen gereserveerd ▶ De Nederlandse staat draagt 73% van de € 7 miljard aan ontmantelingskosten ▶ Alle betrokken partijen zien het belang van samenwerking en efficiënte ontmanteling #nexstep #ebn #elementnl #decommissioning #collaboration #sodm #kgg #ezk #ienw

👉 Nexstep presenteert rapport 2024 "Responsible decommissioning" Op 2 juli reikte Thijs Starink, directeur van Nexstep, het Re-use & Decommissioning 2024 report uit aan Sybilla Dekker, voorzitter van het Noordzeeoverleg. Na de uitreiking van het rapport volgden drie panelgesprekken: 🌀 Slim ontmantelen - optimalisatie door innovatie en intensieve samenwerking: Wim van Urk (Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat) en Caroline Van Dalen (Ministerie van Economische Zaken) 🌀 Verstandig ontmantelen - balans van risico's en kostenbesparing samenleving: Pieter van den Bergen (Staatstoezicht op de Mijnen (SodM) en Gerda Verburg (Element NL) 🌀 Gebalanceerd ontmantelen - verstandig ruimtegebruik van de Noordzee: Nicolien Vrisou van Eck (Energie Beheer Nederland) en Jan Vos (NedZero - Branchevereniging voor windenergie) Verschillende stakeholders en geïnteresseerden waren aanwezig bij de lancering van dit zevende Nexstep-rapport. Roy op het Veld, freelance journalist, leidde de panelgesprekken. Een aantal highlights uit het rapport: 🔹 Net als in 2023, is er in 2024 zowel offshore als onshore een hoger activiteitenniveau te zien in decommissioning 🔹 In 2023 zijn er acht platforms ontmanteld en drie grotendeels 🔹 Olie- en gasmaatschappijen ontmantelen de komende tien jaar naar verwachting circa 60% van de infrastructuur 🔹 Kostenstijgingen, tekort aan arbeidskrachten/materieel en trage voortgang kunnen de optimalisatie van de ontmanteling belemmeringen 🔹 Slimme, creatieve en effectieve oplossingen bieden perspectief, zoals de nieuwe contractstrategie van de NAM BV Assen. Jan Willem van Hoogstraten, voorzitter van de SVB, sloot het programma af en nodigde de gasten uit deel te nemen aan de netwerkborrel. 👉 Lees het 2024 Re-use & Decommissioning report “Responsible decommissioning”: https://lnkd.in/ePDRT6tM. #nexstep #ebn #elementnl #decommissioning #samenwerking #innovatie

🎤 Nexstep keynote speaker at SPE Well Decommissioning Conference At the SPE Aberdeen Well Decommissioning Conference (June 4-5), Nexstep - National Platform for Re-use & Decommissioning will give a keynote presentation on approaching and testing Through Tubing Cementation (TTC) qualification. TTC is a method for the abandonment of wells. An important feature of TTC is that it does not require a drilling rig. Besides presenting TTC, Nexstep also highlights the positive results achieved by the Joint Well Campaign (JWC). Nexstep presents the approach, techniques used, lessons learned and results achieved. The JWC is the first campaign in the world where operators have worked together to decommission wells on this scale. The campaign highlights the importance of good mutual cooperation. 🔗 Nexstep encourages knowledge sharing, promotes effective and efficient regulation, and implements innovative techniques. This is exemplified by qualifying the TTC method and coordinating the JWC. ▶ More information  Visit the SPE Aberdeen Well Decommissioning Conference website for more information and the conference program: https://lnkd.in/eftGezQS. #nexstep #decommissioning #wells #innovation #collaboration

👉 Successful start of onshore test PosHYdon: a world first in the North Sea For the first time, integration of offshore wind, gas and green hydrogen is taking place on an operational gas platform in the North Sea. The Q13a-A platform of Neptune Energy (Eni) will, after successful onshore tests in Alkmaar, be equipped with an electrolyser to produce green hydrogen on an existing platform, thanks to the PosHYdon consortium. First production offshore is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2024. Never before has an operational oil or gas platform been used for the integration and production of green hydrogen. The green hydrogen molecules produced will be transported to land along with natural gas via existing pipelines.   This week, after years of studies and development, the kick-off of PosHYdon's onshore tests took place at the site of InVesta in Alkmaar, one of the affiliated partners within PosHYdon. An important milestone; the electrolyser will then be transported to the platform, tested and installed. This will enable us to land green hydrogen molecules with gray gas molecules through existing infrastructure. A unique achievement! 🔗 As co-initiator of PosHYdon, #Nexstep brought the parties together at the beginning of the project. Nexstep also took over part of the project coordination. ⏩ Read more: https://lnkd.in/ehG8j5MA. 📷 Below: executives PosHYdon Consortium Partners.   TNO, Nexstep - National Platform for Re-use & Decommissioning, Neptune Energy, Gasunie, Eneco, DEME Offshore NL, Nogat B.V., NGT B.V.

Nexstep participation in SWIPA conference Trondheim (13-14 March)   Nexstep was invited by SFI SWIPA (Centre for Subsurface Well Integrity, Plugging and Abandonment) to present the approach and learnings on the recently completed Joint Campaign for Mud Line Suspended (MLS) wells and the Through Tubing Cementation (TTC) technology qualification. Both presentations were well received.   👉 Read more on our website: https://lnkd.in/eBBd-JY7. #nexstep #swipa #decommissioning #collaboration #innovation #wells

Nexstep to present at SWIPA conference (13-14 March) in Trondheim  On 13 and 14 March 2024, Nexstep has been invited by the organisers of the SFI SWIPA conference in Trondheim to share its knowledge of the recently concluded ‘Joint Well Campaign’ (JWC). In addition, Nexstep will be explaining the qualification process for the use of Through Tubing Cementation (TTC). Abroad, this technology is widely used for the dismantling of wells. The benefit of this method is that it does not require a drilling rig.  TTC   Nexstep promotes the sharing of knowledge, encourages effective and efficient regulation and implements innovative techniques. For example, Nexstep recently prepared a report on the qualification of the TTC technology in line with the current industry standard. During the conference, Nexstep will explain the approach for the qualification and will present the results of in-well testing.  JWC   The volume of decommissioning and dismantling activities is growing worldwide. Cooperation during dismantling activities increases both the effectiveness and efficiency. The positive results of the JWC campaign concluded by Nexstep at the end of 2023 underline the importance of cooperation. This is the first campaign anywhere in the world in which operators have collaborated on this scale in the dismantling of wells. During the conference, Nexstep will explain the procedures, the techniques employed, the lessons learned and the results of the JWC.  About SWIPA  SWIPA (Subsurface Well Integrity Plugging and Abandonment) is a centre for research-based innovation, appointed by the Norwegian Research Council. SWIPA aims to obtain a scientific understanding of the permanent dismantling of production wells and to promote innovative design methodologies.  #nexstep #decommissioning #collaboration #innovation #wells For the SWIPA conference programme, see: https://lnkd.in/dUE6AhZZ

“De Noordzee is een kerkhof van oud ijzer. Of het ooit wordt opgeruimd, is onzeker.” Het is een van de vele onjuiste uitspraken die een onderzoeksjournalist van Follow the Money 14 januari jl. deed in een NPO Radio 1-uitzending van Dijkstra & Evenblij ter plekke.
