Indonesia currently has 635 offshore platforms spread around 750,000 km2 working area. Out of the 635 offshore platforms, about 69% are already in aging conditions, more than 30 years old. In 2021, SKK Migas developed a decommissioning roadmap that layout the plan for decommissioning of 100 offshore platform, with short term goal of 100 platform in the 1st year. However only 17% of the identified platform to decommissioned has Abandonment and Site Restoration (ASR) funds. Todate there is only 1 offshore platform has been successfully decommissioned, and it took more than 2 years to get alignment from all stakeholders. This final project examines the challenges surrounding the planning and approvals of Offshore Platform Decommissioning Project using Angkasa Biru Project (fictional name) as case study. The analysis was done to answer the research question of what are the challenges that create bottleneck in getting stakeholders alignment and what are the root cause of these challenges using Current Reality Tree and Future Reality Tree method. The objective is to provide lessons learned and recommendation for future offshore platform decommissioning projects. It can be summarized that the challenges are no ASR Fund, PSC lack of enthusiasm to initiate POA, process for acquiring asset write off and inefficient approval process for the permits. The root causes are enforcement of existing regulation, the scrap value of the facilities is lot less than decommissioning cost, and unalignment coordination at high level between external stakeholders. The research comes up with several action plan for the stakeholders to reduce the duration for stakeholder alignment and approvals of the decommissioning plan and permits.
