TotalDECOM 2017 aims to build on the success of its 2014, 2015 & 2016 conferences.

The global decommissioning market is growing at a rapid pace and there is more opportunitythan ever to create long-term relationships with operators who require support and innovation.

TotalDECOM offers an opportunity to connect with the senior-level decommissioning community.We can help you channel your message and work out the best sponsorship and/or exhibitionpackage for your organisation.

In 2017, we will once again be bringing together the policy makers, regulatory bodies, agencies,operating companies, and Tier 1 & 2 suppliers, encouraging the cross-fertilisation of skills andinnovations within the Nuclear, Oil & Gas, Renewables, Process and Defence industries. The aim isto share the complexities experienced across the different sectors, and facilitate the sharing ofbest practise – exploring how learning from one sector can help develop invaluable solutionsand cost benefits in another.

Trade missions from Japan and Korea have shown interest in attending an event which allowsthem access to global expertise, and a wider international audience is anticipated in 2017,particularly from the USA and Europe.

‘Decommissioning spend is growing fast and activities are gaining momentum’

‘Over the next 25 years North Sea Oil and Gas decommissioning spend is predicted to be 100-130 billion’

‘The Estimated global nuclear decommissioning spend is 200 billion over next few decades’
