... Fluids Drilling Fluids Program Abstract Managing environmental impacts associated with drilling is a challenge to oil & gas ompanies and in recent year more efforts are exerted in increasing production levels hence increasing drilling activities and associated environmental concerns. Key...

... exploration drilling, with the potential for fracking in the future, which has caught the attention of stakeholders. This paper presents the environmental studies concerning the exploration drilling activities on license 1/10: environmental baseline study, environmental impact assessment and monitoring...

... that environmental license conditions can be implemented in a singular way. IBAMA Technical Note N° 01/10 Environmental Licensing Process for Drilling Activity in BM-J-2 Block Engaging the Communities to Develop the Fishing Compensation Plan Offshore drilling activities are licensed...

... of GDF SUEZ conducted an environmental monitoring of drilling activities at Pumbaa (NOCS 6407/12-2). Because of registrations of deep water corals ( Lophelia ) in the Pumbaa area, and due to specific requirements - a relatively comprehensive monitoring of the drilling activities was carried out. Only...

... mud from drilling was measured using Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) sampling techniques. Biodiversity, density and community structure of benthic communities were compared before and after drilling and within different distance zones from drilling activity. The effects of deep-water drilling...

... Abstract Acoustic monitoring of small cetaceans (harbour porpoises and dolphins) has been conducted around two platforms in the central North Sea. At one platform, there was continuous drilling activity while at the other platform, drilling did not occur during the monitoring period...

... and Espírito Santo, which respond for almost 80% of the total drilling activity carried out by the company in Brazilian waters, nowadays. The model was also applied to license a production area in the northern part of Campos Basin called Parque das Baleias. In this area, a Preliminary Permit (LP) was granted...

... of the well location driving the focus on potential physical impact in addition to chemical impacts on these structures and the sediment fauna. To verify if the objective is met, the environmental impact level on the marine environment associated with the drilling activities has to be assessed...

... was to explore innovative and sustainable ways to undertake exploratory seismic and drilling activities in a highly sensitive tropical forest ecosystem. This early dialogue has developed into a long term partnership focused on Repsol YPF activities in Block 39 in northern Peru. The first phase...

... a nearby well site to provide data on recovery ten years after discharge. Initial disturbance resulted in a reduction in faunal diversity and density from baseline levels close to drilling activity (100 m). After two years and within 100 m of the drilling activity assemblages were still significantly...
