Global Subsea Decommissioning Lessons with Centurion

In this episode, CODA CEO Francis Norman speaks with Brett Phillips, Subsea Manager at Centurion, about the company’s growing role in subsea decommissioning across Australia and internationally.

Brett shares insights from Centurion’s global footprint and recent projects, including large-scale pipeline recovery work in the Gulf of Thailand, as well as operations in Bass Strait and Western Australia. The conversation highlights the practical lessons learned offshore, the value of repetition and consistency, and the equipment and engineering needed to operate safely in Australia’s remote and highly regulated environment.

They also discuss reuse and circular economy approaches, Centurion’s expanding local capability, and opportunities for efficiency as Australia enters a significant phase of subsea decommissioning.
