IC For Decommissioning

Smarter Subsurface Insight for Late-Life Assets and Abandonment Planning

As decommissioning activity accelerates across the energy sector, subsurface teams face increasing complexity, tighter regulatory requirements, and growing pressure to reduce operational risk and cost.

Interactive Correlations (IC) gives decommissioning professionals the clarity, speed, and confidence they need to make informed decisions throughout the late‑life cycle.

IC transforms legacy datasets, decades of geological interpretation, and multi‑disciplinary workflows into a cohesive, high‑performance environment built for modern decommissioning.

Why IC Matters in Decommissioning

Decommissioning relies on a precise understanding of the subsurface. Legacy well logs, historical correlations, incomplete datasets, and ageing fields all introduce uncertainty, and uncertainty drives cost.

IC resolves these challenges by enabling teams to:

● Integrate disparate legacy datasets into a unified, modern interpretation workspace.

● Validate historical correlations and highlight inconsistencies that could impact plugging and abandonment (P&A) design.

● Understand geological and structural controls that influence abandonment strategy.

● Visualise key uncertainties to support risk assessments and regulatory approval.

● Collaborate across subsurface, well engineering, and regulatory teams using a shared, intuitive platform.

With IC, subsurface teams gain the ability to review, interpret, and communicate geological insights faster and more reliably, which is exactly what decommissioning programmes demand.

1. Unified Geological Data Integration

Bring together various geological interpretations: logs, stratigraphic markers, structural input, and regional geological understanding, no matter the vintage, in a clean, flexible data environment.

2. Rapid Geological Review & Correlation

IC’s intuitive correlation tools allow subsurface teams to quickly compare wells, establish continuity, and identify discrepancies that matter for well abandonment.

3. High-Quality, Audit-Ready Visualization

Generate publication-ready graphics that maintain a live link to source data, ensuring accuracy and transparency for technical assurance, partners, and regulators.

4. Cross Disciplinary Collaboration

Geologists, petrophysicists, reservoir engineers, and data teams can work together using shared workspaces and common toolkits - ideal for P&A campaigns and multi-operator assets.

5. Supports Reuse, CCS & Repurposing Decisions

Assess reservoir integrity, formation continuity, sealing potential, and legacy well risk when evaluating assets for carbon storage, geothermal conversion, or re-use scenarios.
