This book was released on 2016-12-23 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim is to make an assessment of the resource management strategies used in Norway and the United Kingdom to meet the environmental and socio-economic impact of oil and gas development and to investigate the relevance of these strategies to the Newfoundland experience.The purpose of this study is to explore how resource management and environmental planning strategies influence the nature and extent of offshore hydrocarbon projects. Resource management and environmental planningstrategies are important because offshore hydrocarbon can have negative impacts on the social, economic and physical environments. This study examines how regulatory and planning processes identify and assess environmental and socio-economic problems, issues and concerns for the offshore, coastal (nearshore), and onshore regions. This study proposes that the environmental development process must be integrated with local-regional planning process in order to attain maximal effectiveness. The regulatory regime proposed for Newfoundland offshore development will be evaluated with respectto the regulatory and planning processes of the United Kingdom and Norway. The prime concern for resource development and economic planning in Newfoundland has been the provision of jobs in the attack on unemployment, underdevelopment, and low incomes. The discovery of offshore petroleum appears as a panacea capable of solving all of Newfoundland's social and economic ills. Attention has been centered on the economic aspects of oil and gas development, on the jobs created, the incentives provided, the vetting of bargaining actors and their schemes, and the competitive nature of governmentresource development policies. These considerations have obscured the equally pressing tasks of environmental planning and of researching the process of resource management within coastal communities which are dependent on themarine environment for their livelihood. The thesis focuses on particularly on Newfoundland, on the environmental-developmental role of the regulatory regime, and its relationships with the oil companies. It finds that the regulatoryauthority is the most influential actor in the development process and argues that fragmented regulatory responsibility, lack of planning independence, and lack of planning at the local-regional level inhibited efforts at all regulatory levels to planeffectively and make an orderly adjustment to economic development and environmental concerns.A survey was conducted of selected Newfoundland communities to identify the types of issues and concerns that may have importance for offshore development. The purpose of the survey was to solicit the perceptions of key actors regarding potential problems in the coordination of land-use and sea-use planning for the proposed offshore hydrocarbon development project. Inaddition, interviews were conducted in the United Kingdom and Norway to identify and examine what environmental-developmental considerations should be incorporated into the offshore-onshore planning process. The thesis that although the resource regulatory systems for oil and gas development are different in each of the countries considered, the regulatorystructure, strategy, and approach will affect the outcome of the resource management process. Therefore, closer co-ordination of the resource management process and the environmental regulatory regime is a prerequisite for improved future offshore oil and gas development in Newfoundland. In conclusion, resource development environmental planning should be guided by the premise that the capacity of the regulatory system to absorb petroleum development will vary with the size of its population and the complexity of its institutional, political, and economic systems. The regulatory process should support the development of the community environmental control infrastructure as well as economic development infrastructure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Petroleum Resource Management offers a thought-provoking examination of how countries manage their offshore petroleum resources by comparing the different approaches to licensing and regulation taken by Australia, Norway and the UK.Based on extensive research into their policies, licensing systems and resource management regulations, including interviews with government regulators and companies, John Chandler explores how these countries all face similar challenges as their offshore petroleum basins mature, including smaller discoveries, marginal production and ageing infrastructure. Identifying further challenges such as climate change and the increasing accountability in relation to sustainability and social issues, Chandler analyses how their petroleum policy, systems of regulation and regulators developed up to the present, and how they are responding to these challenges, as well as how they deal with exploration, development, infrastructure sharing and production.This timely and informative book will be essential reading for those in petroleum policy and governance, including petroleum lawyers, government officials, regulators and analysts. Academics and students on courses relating to petroleum regulation and the governance of resources will also benefit from this engaging book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offshore oil and gas drilling operations take place in some of the world's most biologically productive oceanic waters. An ongoing concern related to the development of this industry is that exposure to contaminants from waste discharges may cause ill effects on organisms and their habitat. Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) programs are undertaken to verify environmental impact assessment predictions, to detect any unforeseen effects, and to help identify cause-effect relationships. EEM has been carried out worldwide for many offshore developments, and much has been learned about the fate of drilling and production contaminants and their biological effects. EEM programs have rapidly evolved in response to new knowledge on the transport, fate, and effects of potential contaminants; changes in regulatory requirements; and improved impact assessment technologies and statistical approaches for data interpretation. In May 2003, an international group of scientists, environmental managers, and industry representatives shared their expertise and new knowledge at the Offshore Oil and Gas Environmental Effects Monitoring Workshop. The participants reviewed the status of current offshore oil and gas EEM programs and identified future research needs to advance our understanding of the impacts of the offshore oil and gas industry. This book represents a selected number of peer-reviewed papers from workshop participants, covering a range of topics including regional experience from past and ongoing EEM programs; environmental management issues such as risk assessment and decision-making processes; the development of predictive risk assessment models; and new approaches and technologies formonitoring potential alterations in benthic, pelagic, and tropospheric ecosystem components. This book will be of use to scientists, environmental managers, regulators, and industry representatives, as well as members of the general public wishing to improve their understanding on the application of offshore oil and gas EEM programs for the protection of our ocean environment and its resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global energy problems will remain a challenge in the coming decades. The impact of climate change and the melting of polar sea ice opening up access to offshore hydrocarbon resources in the Arctic Ocean, raises questions for both civil society and the scientific community over drilling opportunities in Arctic marine areas. Disparities in approach to the governance of oil and gas extraction in the Arctic arise from fundamental differences in histories, cultures, domestic constraints and substantive values and attitudes in the Arctic coastal states and sub-states. Differing political systems, legal traditions and societal beliefs with regard to energy security and economic development, environmental protection, legitimacy of decision making, and the ownership and respect of the rights of indigenous people, all affect how governance systems of oil and gas extraction are designed. Using a multidisciplinary approach and case studies from the USA, Norway, Russia, Canada, Greenland/Denmark and the EU, this book both examines the current governance of extraction and its effects and considers ways to enhance the efficiency of environmental management and public participation in this system.
