Many of the geological structures that produce oil and gas have limited lifespan. These structures must be disposed when no longer in use. This ensures that the surrounding area is safe from environmental contamination. Decommissioning involves the safe plugging of the hole in the earth's surface and disposal of the equipment used in offshore oil production. Abandoned offshore oil and gas platforms are a threat to the marine life. They are major source of marine pollution. Oil spill or ... Read more
