A new report has revealed Australia will be hit by a massive, multibillion-dollar problem within the next 10 years - and "the time is now" to take action.
According to the report by Advisian, much of the nation's existing offshore oil and gas infrastructure is so old, it will need to be decommissioned in the years ahead.
In fact, there is more than $50 billion of crucial decommissioning work to tackle, with over half of the work needing to be started within the next 10 years and deemed to be "urgent".
