Developing & Interpreting Regulations

Successful decommissioning hinges on well-crafted compliance standards. RESL excels at balancing environmental concerns with cost-effectiveness and operational safety. We partner with regulators to develop flexible, project-specific guidelines, optimising project management without unnecessary burdens.

This expertise benefits all stakeholders – operators, legislators, and the economy. With a deep understanding of the legal landscape, RESL leverages global experience to offer robust regional comparisons, best practices, and a solid foundation for informed decision-making.

  • Asset-specific legal and regulatory reviews
  • Comparative legal and regulatory assessments
  • Gap analysis
  • Regulatory interpretation
  • Negotiations with regulators
  • Decommissioning and Well P&A guideline development
  • Decommissioning Plan preparation and submission
  • Regulator training

Here are examples of RESL’s work with regulators worldwide in preparation for developing decommissioning guidelines:
