This panel will explore the evolving landscape of decommissioning and late-life asset management in the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on regulatory alignment, cost optimisation, and sustainability. As offshore infrastructure continues to age and economic pressures intensify, operators are faced with increasingly complex decisions surrounding abandonment, repurposing, and environmental stewardship.

The discussion will address how operators can balance cost, safety, and environmental responsibility in decommissioning programs, examine the emerging technologies and digital tools transforming late-life asset strategies, and consider how regional regulators and industry bodies can harmonise standards to streamline approvals and execution.

Key Discussion Points:

• Case studies on rig-less abandonment and through-tubing solutions
• Lessons learned from sustained annulus pressure management
• Opportunities for repurposing assets for CCS and geothermal applications
• Legal and liability frameworks across jurisdictions
• The role of AI and data analytics in predictive modeling and planning
