海洋环境中数以百计的石油和天然气行业结构正接近退役。在大多数地区，退役作业将需要得到环境评估和监测的支持，可能需要在留在原地的任何结构的生命周期内进行。这项规定将对工业界和公众造成相当大的成本。在这里，我们回顾了与退役相关的主要作业环境的评估方法--即结构、管道、切屑桩、一般海底环境和水柱--并表明，已有的海洋自主系统为这一重大监测挑战提供了广泛的解决方案。与退役直接相关的数据可以使用部署在MAS上的声学、视觉和海洋传感器来收集。我们认为，在节省成本和大幅提高环境监测的时间和空间分辨率方面都有相当大的潜力。我们总结了海洋环境监测中MAS和当前常规方法之间的权衡。MA有可能成功地进行与退役相关的大部分监测，并在不可能与传统方法直接匹配的情况下提供可行的替代办法。
Hundreds of Oil & Gas Industry structures in the marine environment are approaching decommissioning. In most areas decommissioning operations will need to be supported by environmental assessment and monitoring, potentially over the life of any structures left in place. This requirement will have a considerable cost for industry and the public. Here we review approaches for the assessment of the primary operating environments associated with decommissioning — namely structures, pipelines, cuttings piles, the general seabed environment and the water column — and show that already available marine autonomous systems (MAS) offer a wide range of solutions for this major monitoring challenge. Data of direct relevance to decommissioning can be collected using acoustic, visual, and oceanographic sensors deployed on MAS. We suggest that there is considerable potential for both cost savings and a substantial improvement in the temporal and spatial resolution of environmental monitoring. We summarise the trade-offs between MAS and current conventional approaches to marine environmental monitoring. MAS have the potential to successfully carry out much of the monitoring associated with decommissioning and to offer viable alternatives where a direct match for the conventional approach is not possible.
