Elemental Energies is pleased to announce the senior management appointment of Ross Provan as head of decommissioning solutions.
Ross brings 18 years of projects and operational experience working with major global operators and contractors, with expertise spanning drilling, facilities engineering, subsea, project assurance, construction and decommissioning.
Elemental Energies has built a global reputation in engineering and project management, with specialist teams across subsurface, wells and facilities. The company has an extensive track record managing large scale platform plugging and abandonment (P&A), major subsea well decommissioning and integrated wells and facilities projects. Following a number of strategic acquisitions in the UK and Norway, and its recent joint venture announcement with Archer for global P&A, it continues to expand its technical expertise and service offering.
In his new role, Ross will lead Elemental Energies’ focus on EPRD (engineering, preparation, removal and disposal) and the integration of services, including the existing wells decommissioning capabilities, across all areas of the decommissioning work breakdown structure (WBS).
Mike Adams, chief executive officer of Elemental Energies, commented: “With global offshore decommissioning spend projected to double over the next two decades, the need for integrated, cost-effective and innovative solutions is crucial. We believe this approach to decommissioning presents significant opportunities for efficiencies, particularly when technical teams collaborate early in the process. We have seen these benefits firsthand through our successful delivery of integrated wells and facilities scopes. With Ross leading this key area, we are confident that his experience and expertise will help us to continue to drive innovation and efficiency in the decommissioning sector.”
