Decommissioning Cost Estimates Online Query
data last updated: 11-11-2026 04:00 PM(CST)
The GOA decommissioning cost estimates by MMA are now shown as a distribution (P50, P70, P90) based on actual decommissioning expenditure data received from OCS operators since mid-2016. This information is shown on a lease, right-of-way, or right of use and easement basis and also contains detail on a well, platform, pipeline, and site clearance level. This data does not indicate which companies are jointly and severally liable for meeting decommissioning obligations nor the amount of financial assurance that may be required.
Note that the total decommissioning cost estimate for any Lease, RUE, or ROW can be found by adding the sum of the deterministic estimate column to the sum of the distribution estimate column of interest (i.e., P50, P70, or P90). Contact
GOARDecommCost@bsee.gov for additional information.
