As the epicenter of offshore decommissioning activities, Europe holds a dominant position in the market, commanding an impressive 45.6% share. This commanding lead is primarily due to the mature offshore oil and gas fields, particularly in the North Sea, where many facilities have reached the end of their productive life cycles. Europe has been at the forefront of establishing decommissioning as a structured industry, with clear regulations, advanced technologies, and a robust service sector dedicated to the end-of-life management of offshore assets

The Asia Pacific region is poised to be the fastest growing region for offshore decommissioning in the foreseeable future. Countries like Australia, China, India, and Indonesia are relatively new to managing the full life cycle of offshore oil and gas developments. However, with major production hubs now over 20 years in operation, decommissioning planning and preparations are ramping up across Asia Pacific nations. While regulatory frameworks are still maturing compared to more established markets, production licenses and economic limits will require increasing numbers of platforms in the region to be decommissioned. Leveraging experience from other regions combined with anticipated industry spending on Asian decommissioning will see international service providers look to establish local capabilities to capitalize on the emerging Asian opportunity.
