based on "Environmental Impact of the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry":
Oil and gas on the Russian shelf - click here if you want to learn about recent oil and gas developments on the Russian shelf.
Anthropogenic impact on the shelf and marine pollution - structure and scale of anthropogenic impact on the marine environment are considered. Marine pollution as the main, most wide spread and most dangerous factor of anthropogenic impact is discussed.
Decommissioning of offshore structures - click here if you want to learn about abandonment options and secondary use of offshore structures. Explosive activities to remove obsolete offshore installations and their impact on marine life are also discussed.
Oil and gas accidents - information on drilling, transportation and storage accidents during the offshore oil and gas activities.
Gas impact on water organisms - gas impact on fish and other marine organisms is considered. Results of field and laboratory studies, including biological consequences of accidental gas blowouts are discussed.
Natural gas in the marine environment - chemical composition and biological impact of natural gas in the sea.
Spilled oil in the sea - fate, transformations and behavior of oil and oil hydrocarbons in the sea during an oil spill.
Waste discharges - sources, types and volumes of waste discharges during the offshore oil and gas activity are discussed. Chemical composition of discharged wastes (drilling muds, drilling cuttings and produced waters) is described. Atmospheric emissions and their impact on the marine environment are considered.
Oil pollution of the sea - oil pollution of the marine environment, including sources and volumes of oil input.
