The scale of information covered in the text is unique: you will find detailed data and multidisciplinary discussion on every facet of the problem. All main industry’s factors are considered and their ecological consequences are analyzed. Environmental levels, behavior and toxicities of oil and gas hydrocarbons and related chemicals and wastes from the offshore oil and gas industry are described. Specific environmental requirements for discharges and seawater quality are substantiated. Conditions allowing balance of interests for the offshore oil industry and fisheries are outlined. Last chapters of the book define strategic principles of environmental management, control and regulation, including environmental protection and ecological monitoring in relation to the offshore industry.

Unlike many publications that focus on specific aspects of the problem, this volume gives comprehensive analysis of all main factors of the offshore oil industry's impact on the marine environment, fish stock and fisheries in shelf waters. The resource provides you with essential data, materials and conclusions you can put to immediate use. You can get a better idea about the incredible scope of this publication if you take a look at its Synopsis, Table of Contents and Index.

The book is being reviewed by major industry and science publications. We included excerpts from some of the reviews available at the moment:

Dr.Jack B. Pearce, Marine Pollution Bulletin, North American Editor, Buzzards Bay Marine Laboratory, USA: "I have reviewed scores of similar narratives and conclusions, but none having the same clarity of expression and preciseness: quite an accomplishment in a translation. Finally, this volume provides a unique summary of what is known about the environmental issues associated with offshore oil and gas exploration and development, often from the Russian and European perspectives (using materials not available to the Western reader)..."

Dr.Jonathan Wills, Environmental Consultancy and Research, Bressay, Shetland, Scotland : "Last year I wrote a research paper ... on offshore drilling waste disposal and found Dr. Patin's book absolutely unique and indispensable because, quite apart from Dr Patin's own merits as a scientific writer, it makes available to the English-speaking reader such a vast amount of Russian-language research that would otherwise have remained inaccessible. The value of the Russian work he cites is that almost all of it is truly independent academic research.")..." Read more...

Dr.S.Palanichami, The Journal of Ecotoxicology & Environmental Monitoring, Editor-in-Chief: "The book contains exhaustive references, tables and figures. It is very useful to those who are involved in the problems of pollution by offshore oil and gas industry. It is also useful to ecologists and environmentalists to know the offshore oil and gas industry and anthropogenc impact on the resources of fauna and flora, especially marine aquaculture and fisheries." Read more...

Dr.C.L.J.Frid, Environmental Conservation, Dove Marine Laboratory, UK: "The well referenced (the most recent reference is 1998 and there are over 700 in the volume ...!) text, the clear figures and tables, and the style will, I am sure, make it a popular text in any specialist library."
