The Department of Industry, Science and Resources has released a request for proposal (RFP) for services to undertake phases 2 and 3 of the program. You can now access documents through the  AusTender website – Tender number CON007172

Phase 1 of decommissioning is currently in progress, and planning for phases 2 and 3 has begun. As part of this process, the department will seek a contractor to lead the following works:

• engineering design
• permanently plug and abandon the oil wells
