Overview
We are seeking feedback on the Offshore Decommissioning Directorate’s progress in implementing Australia’s Offshore Resources Decommissioning Roadmap.
This feedback will help us:
make sure we’re meeting industry and community needs, as well as directorate objectives
refine what we are working on to better meet needs and objectives over time.
Background
We expect an estimated $60 billion worth of offshore oil and gas decommissioning activity to happen in Australia over the next 5 decades.
The Australian Government released the roadmap in December 2024 as its plan to maximise this economic opportunity. The roadmap’s actions aim to:
boost domestic decommissioning activity
build Australian business capability
create jobs
ensure industry decommissions their infrastructure in a timely, safe and environmentally responsible way.
The Offshore Decommissioning Directorate
The directorate leads actions from the roadmap. We work with industry, unions, state and territory governments, international partners, and other interest groups and organisations to help grow Australia’s decommissioning industry.
These activities include:
improving transparency to help businesses plan investment decisions
encouraging collaboration between all levels of government, international jurisdictions and organisations involved in decommissioning
supporting research and development to promote safety and efficiency
being a trusted partner and advisor on decommissioning policy matters across governments, the industry and broader supply chain.
This survey is an important part of our role to work collaboratively with businesses, community and other organisations. We want your feedback on our activities so far and what you see as our future role. This will help us continue supporting offshore oil and gas decommissioning activities in Australia.
Survey questions
Here are some types of questions we invite you to answer in this survey:
How and where you have sourced the most guidance about decommissioning activities?
How frequently do you or your organisation engage with us and how can we support you in the future?
How well are we doing in terms of providing you or your organisation with support, and how might we better support you in the future?
What decommissioning guidance or research would you like to see more of, and in which part of the process?
