• How does the geology of the oil or gas reservoir impact project design? • What safety concerns and potential environmental impacts exist in offshore operations when employing these technologies?

From page 2... ...
Substantial differences exist between oil and gas development in the onshore and offshore environments -- for example, the equipment deployment logistics in offshore environments for drilling and production, and particularly at increasing water depths, require different approaches and strategies to facilitate oil and gas extraction and manage risk compared to onshore environments. The logistical differences between onshore and offshore drilling are also linked to differences in the geology of the intended drilling target.

Accurate information is essential to support science- and technology-based decisions and to manage risk related to environmental and human health and safety. The data generated from decades of research on the environmental impacts of offshore oil and gas operations can be used to inform lease and permit approval decisions, to prevent or mitigate negative impacts to the environment, to increase system resilience, to inspire collaborative opportunities, and to educate affected communities.
