(Continued from issue 102(2004)39, pp 44-47) The cost of severing platforms with explosives during decommissioning of Gulf of Mexico structures is time-invariant or nearly time-invariant. Also the fixed cost of explosive severance dominates the variable cost, indicating the variable cost is relatively minor for most jobs. This fourth in a five-part series of decommissioning summarizes the historic use of explosives, current regulatory structure, and fundamentals of the technology.
