The Centre of Decommissioning Australia (CODA) is Australia's independent peak oil and gas decommissioning body.

Decommissioning is the process of safely shutting down, dismantling infrastructure, and cleaning up marine or land sites. Australia's offshore oil and gas sector is expected to undertake more than US$40 billion in decommissioning activity over the next 40 years.

Working with over 180 members globally, CODA provides a consolidated national picture of this activity and supports a coordinated industry approach. It builds the knowledge, capability and international connections Australia needs to meet this challenge sustainably.

In doing so, CODA is turning a major decommissioning challenge into a coordinated international industry opportunity.

Its top export markets include the UK, New Zealand and Norway.
