The document discusses improving decision making for oil and gas decommissioning projects through better information supply chain management. It recommends mapping business processes to understand workflows, information, and software used. This would help teams inventory assets, plan decommissioning sequences, and get projects approved by stakeholders. Taking a holistic view of the entire process, timeline, dependencies, finances, and staffing needs provides the "whole picture" required to ensure decommissioning compliance.
