As the Asia Pacific region enters a new phase of energy transition and asset maturity, decommissioning and well plug & abandonment (P&A) are becoming increasingly critical.

This session will bring together regional leaders and global experts to examine how adopting a life-cycle approach - from field development planning to end-of-life execution - can drive more cost-effective, safe and sustainable decommissioning outcomes.

Drawing on real-world case studies and recent projects, panellists will examine critical success factors, regulatory advancements, technological breakthroughs, and avenues for cross-border collaboration. They will also discuss persistent challenges relating to funding mechanisms, liability frameworks, data gaps, and the development of local capabilities.

With billions in decommissioning liabilities forecasted over the coming decades, this strategic dialogue will provide insights into how stakeholders across industry and government can align priorities, share best practices, and establish a more robust decommissioning ecosystem for the region.
