HPV chemicals are those produced or imported into the US in aggregate quantities of at least one million pounds per year. The challenge was to provide information equivalent to the ...

Using an Environmental Footprint Analysis to Evaluate the Sustainability of Remedial Alternatives

Traditional feasibility studies for remediation projects consider factors including cost, implementation risks, reliability and environmental protection. However, traditional studies do not address corporate and stakeholder desires for more sustainable business practices. Approaches are needed to compare ...

Applying Ecosystem Services Analytical Approaches Within the Oil & Gas Industry

Description of the Material Corporate assessment of the impacts and dependencies associated with ecosystem services has come of age. It happened quietly with the 2012 update of the International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standards, and resulting expansion of due diligence for the 79 banks that ...

Managing Socio-Economic Risk in Frontier Areas: A Case Study from the Falkland Islands

Oil and gas activities raise important socio-economic questions for host governments, local communities and project proponents. If not identified and managed in a timely and effective manner, socio-economic issues - such as labour market effects, population influx, revenue management and socio-cultural ...

Conservation Agreements: Integrating Social and Environmental Investments in Liberia

Since 2012, Chevron and Conservation International (CI) have partnered in Liberia to develop community-level integrated social and environmental projects with the Barcoline community through Conservation Agreements (CAs).

Progresive Land Reclamation as the Design and Operational Basis for the Kearl Oil Sands Mine

Problem Statement: Development of the oil sands in northeastern Alberta is an important contributor to the economies of both Alberta and Canada, but this type of hydrocarbon resource is often perceived as representing daunting environmental challenges. One area of particular stakeholder focus is the ...

A Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Management Framework for the Oil and Gas Sector

IPIECA, the global oil and gas industry association for environmental and social issues, provides the forum for the oil and gas sector to share knowledge and build capacity on challenging topics such as management of BES issues within oil and gas industry. In the effort described here, the IPIECA/OGP ...

Identification of putative allergens from school shark, a cartilaginous food fish

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis: Prenatal Testing for Embryos Finally Achieving Its Potential

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis was developed nearly a quarter-century ago as an alternative form of prenatal diagnosis that is carried out on embryos. Initially offered for diagnosis in couples at-risk for single gene genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy and Huntington ...

Assessing Exploratory Drilling Impacts on an Arctic Deepwater Sea-Pen Habitat in Offshore Norway

Mangrove Restoration in the Vicinity of Oil and Gas Facilities: Lessons Learned from a Large Scale Project

Abstract Mangroves are critical ecosystems given their key role in conserving biodiversity, protecting coastlines from érosion and supporting coastal resources. They may be impacted by oil and gas activities, either directly or indirectly. Restoring them is therefore of prime importance. In the Mahakam ...

Is There a Net Benefit from Offshore Structures?

Abstract Understanding the utilisation of seafloor heterogeneity by different fish species is an essential prerequisite for the implementation of effective spatial management of marine ecosystems. The North Sea has long been a vital ground for the exploitation of natural resources, supporting one of ...

Chevron San Ardo Facility Unit (SAFU) Beneficial Produced Water Reuse for Irrigation

Abstract The Chevron San Ardo Facility Unit (SAFU) is a successful example of how brackish produced water can be treated and beneficially reused for freshwater irrigation while increasing domestic oil production. The SAFU produced water reuse is the culmination of a couple of decades of research, pilot ...
