About the book
Description
All facets of offshore decommissioning are discussed in a form suitable for the new entrant to the subject. In particular a professional having previously specialised in production now on a learning curve for decommissioning will . It is expected that a power point presentation based on the content of the book for training purposes will become available. Enquiries on this should be addressed to the author.
