The right questions.
A stronger basis.

Decommissioning decisions are only as strong as the thinking behind them. Start with the question your project needs answered.

01 / FRAME THE DECISION

What exactly is being decided?

Define the asset boundary, screen the options and establish the technical basis for the next project decision.

WHAT WE DEVELOP
01Basis of decommissioning
02Option screening and comparison
03Assumptions and data-gap register

A study report or technical memorandum, built around the decision it must support.

Complexity, worked through.
One decision at a time.

Four moves. A visible record at every step. The result is a conclusion another engineer can follow, challenge and use.

CONTROL POINT / 01

Frame the decision.

Confirm the asset, battery limits, interfaces and required decision. Agree what the work will deliver and what sits outside it.

DELIVERY PARTNERSHIP

Where a scope requires execution capability, SPE works alongside Endura Decommissioning (opens in a new tab).

SPE Group Pty Ltd and Endura Decommissioning remain separate legal entities.

Your project.
A practical starting point.

Tell us where the project stands. Turn three choices into a first brief for discussion.

01Project stage
02Primary need
03Information position

A scoping aid, not engineering advice or a quotation. Final scope depends on the asset, information and required decision.

SPE / INITIAL SCOPE BRIEF LIVE BRIEF
StudyStudy basisMixed information

Start with a controlled study basis

Confirm conflicts and assumptions before detailed development. Frame the study around the decision the work must support.

KEY QUESTION
What decision must the study support, and which boundary must be stable first?

START WITH
Asset summary, available drawings, prior studies and the decision required
LIKELY ENGAGEMENT
Defined work package, typically fixed fee when the source set is stable

Before we begin.

A short asset summary and the decision required are enough to start a conversation.

Bring the asset.
Let’s work through
