🚢 Building the infrastructure that supports decommissioning.
While much of the focus on Australia’s decommissioning opportunity is directed offshore, successful projects also depend on having the right onshore facilities, specialist expertise and materials management capability in place.
That’s why NTEX is developing the Northern Territory’s first Marine Resource Recovery Facility, alongside the Northern Marine Complex Territory Development Area.
The facility is being established to support marine decommissioning, resource recovery, recycling and the safe management of materials generated from offshore energy assets and infrastructure.
A key component of this development is NTEX’s strategic alliance with Radiation Professionals Australia (RPA), bringing specialist capability for the management of NORMs and mercury to the Northern Territory. Together, NTEX and RPA are creating dedicated decommissioning capability within the Territory, providing industry with a local solution for some of the most complex material streams generated during offshore decommissioning projects.
With its proximity to offshore oil and gas fields, deep-water port infrastructure, strategic location and experienced industrial workforce, Darwin is well positioned to support Australia’s growing decommissioning sector.
If you’re attending D&A AUS 2026 in Perth this week, we’d welcome the opportunity to discuss how NTEX and RPA are helping build the capability needed to support future decommissioning projects across Northern Australia.
