Energy in transition – the role of decommissioning

This can create opportunities but is also fraught with complexities and challenges for both outgoing and incoming operators. In this webinar, Clifford Chance experts David Evans, Spencer Flay, Leonhard Rudolph, Pat Saraceni and Kirsty Souter discussed the key risks arising in decommissioning operations, offered suggestions on how to mitigate and manage those risks and key factors for any robust decommissioning strategy.
