Subject: Keywords: Sustainable Seas, Platforms Oil and gas Decommissioning Offshore structures
Description: The research programme comprised several stand-alone investigations that together contribute to understanding any potential environmental or social benefits relating to the re-use of offshore oil and gas structures in New Zealand, or whether associated risks or costs may outweigh those benefits. The research targeted the following themes: • A regulatory review of New Zealand’s current regulatory frameworks and international comparison • The Cost Benefit Analysis of decommissioning options that could be applied in New Zealand • An analysis of whether existing structures have an effect on benthic community composition • A review of marine mammal sightings in the Taranaki Bight; and • An investigation of social attitudes towards decommissioning.
