Decommissioning Training Course | Lean Decom

"The most impressive online training courses I have seen in this industry."

Decommissioning is one of those parts of the industry a lot of people hear about, but never really get a proper explanation of. It affects all offshore assets and therefore everyone that works on them, but for many people it still feels like a bit of a grey area.

There is a new training released at the tail end of 2025 called Lean Decom, it is a online decommissioning training course which is one of the most impressive online training courses I have seen in this industry. 

Review of Lean Decom

The team at Offshore Survival reviewed the Lean Decom course and were genuinely impressed by the quality and usefulness of the training.

1. It helps you learn decommissioning quickly

Decommissioning is not easy to learn. For most people, it takes years to build up a proper understanding. This course brings that learning together in a structured way and helps you get up to speed much faster.

2. The learning experience is excellent

The production quality is far higher than what you would normally expect from oil and gas training. Strong visuals, well-structured lessons, and input from experienced industry professionals make the course engaging and easy to follow.

3. It gives you ideas you can use

The course does more than explain the subject. It helps you spot opportunities, understand common pitfalls, and build ideas you can bring into real conversations and real work. That makes you more useful and more valuable as you grow in decommissioning.

"Lean Decom is a super comprehensive decommissioning training course delivered by the top industry voices who are actually doing the work. It’s really easy to follow and stands out from typical online training courses."

About

I (the main editor of this website) have worked offshore in both oil/gas and the wind turbine industry for 10 years. 

I started putting notes together during some downtime, and over the course of a few trips offshore, and it gathered momentum pretty fast, people wanted to chip in some info, and now, it became a growing resource for people interested in the oil/gas/renewables industry. 

Identities of contributors are somewhat hidden, just in case I have written something or used an image that might affect my, or other peoples jobs.
