The Centre of Decommissioning Australia (CODA) has released the latest update to its Decommissioning Forward Outlook, with a focus on improving data quality, consistency, and usability across the platform.
The update represents a continued refinement of the underlying dataset, strengthening how offshore activities are identified, classified, and presented. Enhancements to the Outlook’s AI capability now support more accurate identification and recognition of offshore activity, improving the overall reliability of the data.
A broader review of the dataset has also been undertaken, addressing duplication, aligning lifecycle stages across projects, and refining activity definitions to better reflect how offshore projects are described in regulatory submissions. This provides a clearer and more consistent view of development, operations, cessation of production, and decommissioning phases.
In parallel, the Outlook is now supported by a rebuilt platform, enabling faster updates and delivering greater granularity across activities and timelines.
CODA acknowledges the ongoing support of rahd·AI in strengthening the foundation of the Outlook. Their contribution continues to support the delivery of a reliable and practical tool for the decommissioning industry.
Jake Stride, rahd·AI CEO and Co-Founder, said:
“A big part of this update was tackling inconsistency in how decommissioning activities are defined and structured across different sources. CODA’s insight into the industry has been key in helping us shape a dataset that better reflects how decommissioning is planned and executed.”
About the Dashboard
The Decommissioning Forward Outlook is a dynamic, interactive online tool providing visibility into Australia’s offshore oil and gas infrastructure. Users can explore asset characteristics across fixed and floating facilities, subsea infrastructure, pipelines, and wells, alongside detailed insights into upcoming decommissioning workload and project timelines.
