pipelines in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) to date. The volume of decommissioning
activity is expected to increase over the coming years. The Government is committed
to supporting the development of a world leading oil and gas decommissioning industry
to take advantage of this opportunity.</p><p>The Department for Business, Energy and
Industrial Strategy is working with the Oil and Gas Authority to help build capacity
in the supply chain by giving greater visibility of forthcoming programmes so they
can prepare accordingly for the opportunity that decommissioning activity will present.</p><p>The
Government supported the establishment of the Oil and Gas Technology Centre (OGTC)
as part of the Aberdeen City Region Deal. The OGTC is now working with industry to
develop new ways in which technology can help in the decommissioning process.</p>
