Description

The Managing and Minimizing Abandonment Cost Liabilities training is designed to equip professionals with the skills to effectively handle the financial risks associated with well abandonment and decommissioning projects. By focusing on early cost estimation and identifying key cost drivers, participants will learn how to minimize liabilities and avoid unnecessary financial strain. This course draws from real-world examples, offering valuable insights on how to manage uncertainties and implement industry best practices to ensure compliance and cost efficiency.

Participants will gain expertise in building comprehensive cost estimates, managing risks through strategic planning, and applying effective techniques to reduce both short- and long-term costs. With a focus on improving financial decision-making, this training provides the essential tools needed to enhance liability management and achieve better financial outcomes for decommissioning projects.
