National Decommissioning Centre, Newburgh

The National Decommissioning Centre (NDC) opened its doors officially earlier this year as a partnership between the Oil & Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) and the University of Aberdeen. NDC is a dedicated research facility focusing on reducing costs, extending field and asset life, and transforming the conventional approach to decommissioning.

Visitors will have access to two buildings and will be able to find out about the ongoing research and the exciting plans for the near future. NDC North houses a high-tech digital visualisation hub, where videos, images and digital activities will be presented by researchers. NDC South accommodates a technical hangar including specialist equipment and two water tanks, where practical demonstrations will be shown.

*Guided tours only at 10am, 12pm, 1:30pm and 3pm. To book call Fiona Barr on 01224-274401 or e-mail f.l.barr@abdn.ac.uk
