Only 19.4% of Mature Fields Professionals 'Fully Prepared' for the KP4 Audit

July 1, 2011 - PRLog -- A significant number of platforms in the UK sector of the North Sea are fast approaching or have already exceeded their original design life, typically specified as either 20 or 25 years. In fact, around half of the total population of fixed platforms on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) has passed its intended expiry date – and this proportion is steadily growing all the time.
