Highly recommended by the Offshore-Environment.com! Waste discharges during the offshore oil and gas activity by Stanislav Patin, translation by Elena Cascio based on "Environmental Impact of the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry" Below you will find information on waste discharges, including discharges of drilling muds and cuttings, produced waters and atmospheric emissions during the offshore oil and gas activities. Click on the links at the end of this page to find more information about Environmental Impact of the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry. Sources, types, and volumes of waste discharges Practically all stages and operations of offshore hydrocarbon production are accompanied by undesirable discharges of liquid, solid, and gaseous wastes. The proportions and amounts of discharged wastes can change considerably during production. For example, the amount of solid drilling cuttings usually decreases as the well gets deeper and the hole diameter becomes correspondingly smaller. The volumes of produced waters increase as the hydrocarbon resources are being depleted and production moves from the first stages toward its completion. Drilling in the upper layers of bottom sediments (up to approximately 100 m) can be done without using complex drilling fluids. In such cases, seawater with additives of special clay suspensions can be used instead.

Deca-BDE is one of about 70 brominated flame retardants. The discovery is disturbing, because researchers had earlier thought that the substance could not be transported over long distances. Norway will actively use the results in connection with the EU’s work on reducing deca-BDE emissions.

Costa Rica schoolgirls plant a sapling as part of the celebration of Earth Day in 1998 (Kent Gilbert/AP) First observed internationally on April 22, 1970, Earth Day has evolved into a major worldwide event for environmentalists young and old, who use their brief moment in the spotlight to warn against dangers that threaten the health of the Earth and its habitants. It's also a great vehicle, activists have found, to get people involved in curbing those ills. The media bears a responsibility to collect and share these stories: TIME cover pieces on topics ranging from toxic waste to global warming have shed light on both the looming threats of pollution and the small victories of the environmental movement. In 1988, the magazine named "Endangered Earth" its Planet of the Year, in lieu of Man of the Year; the issue remains one of the most memorable in the magazine's history.

Home Country Analysis Briefs Caspian Sea Regional Country Analysis Brief: Environmental Issues PDF version PDB version February 2003 Caspian Sea Region: Environmental Issues GENERAL BACKGROUND The landlocked Caspian Sea is the largest inland body of water on earth. Surrounded by Azerbaijan Iran Kazakhstan Russia , and Turkmenistan , the Caspian Sea is home to myriad ecosystems. At the meeting point of the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, the Caspian region includes steppe land in the north, cold, continental deserts and semi-deserts in the northeast and east, and warmer mountain and highland systems in the south and southwest. The coastal wetlands of the Caspian basin include many shallow, saline pools, which attract a variety of bird life and biodiversity; over 400 species are unique to the Caspian. In addition, the sea's native sturgeon is famous the world around for the roe it produces: sturgeon from the Caspian Sea accounts for approximately 90% of the world's caviar industry. Although oil has been produced in what is present-day Azerbaijan for more than 100 years, the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to heightened interest in the region, especially among Western energy companies that previously were shut out of the area. The Caspian Sea's energy potential already was well-known, and the confirmation of that potential with the discovery of significant hydrocarbon deposits in the mid-1990s brought an influx of foreign investment in energy development in the region, particularly in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
