OTM-15-04  aA thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Offshore Technology and Management, School of Engineering and Technology  aThesis (M.Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2015  aDecommissioning is a process of dismantling an installed structure and taking everything out  of  the  site.  The  oil  and  gas  industry  especially  the  offshore  industry  is  now  moving towards deeper water and most of the shallow water installations may become idle as the most  of  the  shallow  water  fields  are  coming  closer  to  the  end  of  their  field  life.  Now  the concern is on how to deal with the platforms that are about to cease the productions in the near future.Thethesis focussesto understand the process of decommissioning.While doing soit talks about  the  regulation  and  guidelines  available  across  the  world  and  in  Thailand  for decommissioning  the  fixed  offshore  structures  with  specific  focus  on  steel  fixed  jacketed platforms. This  document  will  also  talk  about  the  options  available  in  decommissioning and financial and non-financial benefit associated with it from the operator point of view. From  the  point  of  view  of  the  contractor  for  execution  of  decommissioning,  the  thesis focuses on building a business model for the decommissioning of oil and gas platforms. In this  thesis  the cost  drivers  in  the  processof  decommissioning  were  found  outand then listed.  The  cost  drivers  are  necessary  to  build  a  cash  flow  model  to  understand  the feasibility  of  the  business.  Different  types  of  cash  flow  models  are  made  and  financial criteria are placed up-front to carry out the feasibility analysis for looking the project as a new businessexpanded by an existing fabrication contracting company. The  results  are  drawn  and  the  conclusions  are  presented.  The  analyses  havecertain limitations  and  it  provides  the  scope  for  other  persons  to  carry  out  a  further  study  in  the future. 0aOffshore structureszThailand 0aOil platformsxDecommissioningzThailand1 aChiu, Gregory L.F.,eChairperson1 aBoswell, Laurence F.,eExamination Committee 0 aThitisak Boonpramote,eExamination Committee2 aAsian Institute of Technology Fellowship,eScholarship Donor 2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
