As offshore infrastructure matures, decommissioning strategies increasingly balance environmental stewardship, biodiversity enhancement, and socio-economic value. The “Rigs to Reefs” approach has emerged as a viable alternative to full removal in selected geographies. This session will examine regulatory frameworks, environmental impact asesssments, stakeholder engagement, and long-term monitoring practices from global operators. Participants will explore the technical, ecological, and reputational considerations that shape responsible decommissioning decisions, highlighting how collaborative governance between regulators, operators, and environmental experts can deliver measurable marine ecosystem benefits. The session will highlight the case-by-case approach that is deemed to be best practice in producing nature positive outcomes.
