Health, Safety, Environmental and Regulatory Commitment
Decommissioning activities can involve residual hydrocarbons, hazardous substances, confined spaces, heavy lifting, working at height, and environmental risks. Valeng Solutions International recognises the importance of planning these activities around documented risk assessments, competent personnel, appropriate equipment, approved work procedures, and effective emergency arrangements.
Projects will be executed in accordance with applicable Nigerian legislation, relevant environmental and petroleum-sector requirements, client standards, and project-specific approvals.
Depending on the asset and scope, regulatory interfaces may include the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), and relevant environmental authorities.
