5.4. Decommissioning
of facilities
The decommissioning of facili-
ties 45 is the safe destination for oil
and natural gas exploration and
production structures after the
end of their production phase. In
the facilities when all options for
economically and environmentally
viable development of the well in
question have been considered.

of a field's useful life and, conse-
quently, it leads to: the removal
of its facilities; the drawing up of
wells; the proper destination of
materials, waste and tailings; and
the environmental recovery of the
area. It is worth noting that the
ANP only approves the definitive
interruption of the operation of
proposals for the Facility Decom- 44
missioning Program (PDI) in Brazil,

45. Resolution 817 of April 24, 2020 was an im-
portant milestone for the national oil industry as it
modernized the regulation that governs decommis-
sioning of E&P facilities, the procedure for returning
areas to the ANP and the disposal and reversal of
assets. This precaution in the legislation aims to
maximize the recovery of reservoirs and avoid pre-
mature decommissioning of production facilities.View entire presentation
