HOUSTON, June 22, 2020 -- In the first of its kind in federal waters off California's coast, Seabed will be going to record-breaking depths to complete the decommissioning of five oil platforms, with the highest priority on the workforce's safety the protection of the environment and communities.

Seabed is leading a team of partners in the decommissioning project in federal waters off the coast of California — a project that will break records for the most in-depth full removal platform decommissioning of an oil platform in U.S federal waters.

Like any Seabed effort, the West Coast Decommissioning Program's highest priority is the workers' health and safety and the protection of the environment and nearby communities. We are working hand-in-hand with local, state, and federal governments, along with numerous regulatory agencies.

Decommissioning Process

The West Coast Decommissioning Program is an extraordinary undertaking that will take precise planning and seamless coordination with integral partners. At each step, Seabed's highest priorities are all workers' safety and protecting the environment and communities we serve. Three platforms will break the record for the most in-depth full removal platform decommissioning in U.S. federal waters.

We believe exceptional performance in the West Coast Decommissioning Program is achievable by the dedicated collaboration of Seabed functional experts and partners who come together as "one team." With genuine relationships with our communities and regulatory agencies built on transparency, respect, and earned trust.

Working with Regulatory Agencies

The West Coast Decommissioning Program's success relies on strong, transparent relationships with local, state, and federal agencies to ensure all workers' safety and the protection of the surrounding environment and nearby communities.

In partnership with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement will coordinate with other federal and state agencies to review and approve the proposed offshore decommissioning work.

Investing in Communities

The nearby towns and citizens are some of our most important stakeholders in the West Coast Decommissioning Program. So, we're investing back in them by supporting programs that help power their communities.
