The Mexico oil and gas decommissioning market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.30% between 2025 and 2034. The market is being aided by the growing trend of sustainability and the rising awareness regarding environmental impact posed by oil and gas infrastructure in oceans.
The potential environmental threats posed by oil and gas infrastructure in oceans are gaining widespread concern in Mexico. This is because accidental oil spills caused by corrosion of abandoned pipelines during storms can damage the aquatic ecosystem badly and choke marine life badly, thereby affecting the livelihood of coastal fishermen directly.
Methane emissions from unplugged oil wells can contribute to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate the rate of climate change, thereby increasing the risk of natural disasters. The strengthening of legal regulations related to the decommissioning of oil projects is expected to drive the Mexico oil and gas decommissioning market expansion in the coming years.
Ensuring sustainability while decommissioning oil and gas infrastructure is a critical component of the overall operations of the oil and gas industry. Various assets utilised for energy extraction, including helidecks and GT power generators, can be repurposed/recycled or used in a hydrogen production facility. This can minimise the volume of waste generated from industrial operations to just 2%.
Moreover, some ageing infrastructures have become artificial reefs supporting the local marine biodiversity, which is prompting ocean conservation organisations to encourage oil and gas explorers to relocate steel jackets in a sustainable manner onto the seabed. This is expected to drive the Mexico oil and gas decommissioning market development in the forecast period.
