Abstract The Integrated Management Plan for the Barents Sea and Lofoten area (Arctic area) reports that human intervention and activities shall not harm the function, structure, productivity or dynamics of the ecosystem. The precautionary principle is currently the guiding principle applied in the ...
Abstract Chevron Global Upstream has developed a global environmental performance standard and a computer-based waste management toolbox with the overall objective of reducing the potential for impacts from drilling fluids and associated cuttings in the offshore environment. The drilling discharge ...
Abstract BP projects in Azerbaijan in the past ten years have installed oil and gas export lines, interfield lines, water injection lines and produced water lines, with a total length in excess of 1000 km- all of which required hydrotesting. This paper describes BP's approach to managing and ...
ABSTRACT Corrosion control of heavily fouled systems poses a significant challenge for integrity management programs. In cases where deposits build up in pipelines, or within pits, it is virtually impossible for a corrosion inhibitor to penetrate the deposit and impart inhibition at the underlying ...
Abstract The European Commission (EC) has adopted a roadmap on marine spatial planning (MSP) to guide the sustainable growth of EU maritime sectors as a new approach to addressing the increase in competing uses of the sea. The growth of marine commercial activities such as offshore oil and gas development, ...
Abstract The ultimate goal of produced water management is to remove dissolved components and use the desalinated water for beneficial uses that can effectively alleviate environmental impact and water shortage. Presently, many of the efforts have been focused on membrane technologies including reverse ...
Abstract Environmental stewardship has been and continues to be a critical component of the oil and gas industry, as exploitation of shale and other unconventional gas reservoirs requires large volumes of water for economic and efficient production. Evaluating and communicating the hazards of chemicals ...
Abstract The Norwegian Government in early 2007 initiated a process of Integrated and Ecosystem-based Management of the marine environment of the Norwegian Sea. A two year period of assessment work, including public consultation, was finalised with the release of a governmental white paper May 2009. ...
Abstract This knowledge sharing paper explores the latest in biodiversity offset strategies, means to address residual environmental impacts, beyond normal reclamation and mitigation. Global oil and gas exploration and production companies must now operate in increasingly challenging and sensitive environments. ...
Abstract This paper describes the implementation of an innovative biodiversity management strategy in a difficult context. The paper has transverse application to similar large energy projects in third word countries where construction might impact sensitive ecosystems. The Biodiversity Action Plan ...
Abstract The Goliat field is the first offshore oil field in the Barents Sea planned for development and operation. The field is probably the worlds' northernmost offshore field being located at the 71.2 latitude (Figure 1). The oil field is located in an environmentally sensitive area with high ...
Abstract Marine polar ecosystems are often claimed being sensitive and having low tolerance toward external stress. In the Norwegian sector of the Barents Sea, this assumption has caused the implementation of a zero physical discharge policy. This policy is preventing an empirical definition of tolerance ...
Abstract The International convention for the control and management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments was adopted by IMO in 2004, with the main aim to reduce the probability of dispersion of hazardous non indigenous species. Implementation of ballast water treatment systems is mandatory for ...
Abstract The discovery of a significant gas field in the UK Southern North Sea (SNS) beneath the Dogger Bank draft Special Area of Conservation (dSAC) required subsequent development activities to be appropriately planned and implemented. Previously, Operators in the region had responded to increasing ...
Abstract This paper presents the concept of harnessing geothermal energy from heavy oil fields that have undergone steam-flooding and so accumulated substantial heat from steam injection. Once the steam-flooding process reaches economic cut-off, due to high water cut and/or high steam-to-oil ratio, ...
Abstract Ecosystem based management is today the foundation of international regulatory frameworks for managing the oceans and seas. The approach enables sustainable use of marine goods and services while maintaining good environmental status and preventing subsequent deterioration. However we lack ...
Abstract As part of the Devil Creek Development Project, Apache successfully used horizontal directional drilling (HDD) with a delayed break out as the installation method for the shoreline crossing of a new gas pipeline at Gnoorea Point, 45 km southwest of Dampier, Western Australia to achieve excellent ...
Abstract The water surrounding Barrow Island (BWI), Western Australia is an internationally significant marine protected area for coral and turtle conservation. A key commitment of the Gorgon Project is that no marine pests be introduced to island waters. A comprehensive quarantine strategy has been ...
Abstract The Goliat field operated by Eni Norge AS (Eni Norge), with Statoil Petroleum AS (Statoil) as only partner, will be the first offshore oil field in the Barents Sea and the world's northernmost offshore oil field. The production will commence during the last quarter of 2013. The field ...
Abstract Total E&P Indonesie (TEPI) has been operating for more than 40 years in Mahakam Contract Area located at Mahakam Delta, Kutai Kartanegara District, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, despite the local environmental and social challenges. Mahakam Delta was initially covered with dense ...
