Methods for the disposal of offshore structures can vary according to structural and environmental considerations. Some standard disposal methods include: Complete Removal This involves removing and transporting the offshore structure to shore for recycling, reusing, or proper disposal. Partial Removal In some instances, only a portion of the structure may be removed, while the remaining sections are left in place or modified for alternative uses. In-Place Decommissioning Sometimes, structures are left in place but modified to ensure long-term stability and minimal environmental impact.
