... Abstract The effects of hydrocarbon drilling on megafaunal communities were investigated at ten sites between 370 – 1750 m water depth in the northern North Atlantic, specifically the Faroe-Shetland Channel and the Norwegian Sea. Physical disturbance from discharge of cuttings and water-based...

... of which informed project design to the benefit of the protected area. For example, the pipeline route was optimised to reduce benthic disturbance and the likelihood of upheaval buckling and thus the need for subsequent deposition of rock stabilisation material. Recommendations arising from an extensive...

... Abstract Recovery of deep, cold-water benthic habitats following physical disturbance caused by discharges of cuttings and water-based mud from drilling have been measured using remotely operated vehicle video sampling techniques. These approaches allowed opportunistic monitoring to be carried...

... they observed or smelled a crew party. The severity of their response was dependant on the distance, terrain, level and location of disturbance. Animals maintained a buffer zone of 500-1500 meters from working crew depending on topography of the area. The movement of indicator herds indicated a temporary...

... Abstract The oil and gas industry tends to create numerous linear disturbances during the evolution of conventional field development. Access roads to wellsites, pipeline right-of-ways (ROWs), power lines, and seismic lines all contribute to other linear features created by forestry, mining...
