C. Pollution from offshore oil and gas activities

(f) quot Environmental Regulations and Assessment in Offshore Oil and Gas Operations quot (Montevideo, Uruguay, 4 6 May 1994).

Offshore oil production in 2000 was estimated at 1.23 billion tons natural gas production was estimated at 650 billion cubic metres.

303. The offshore oil and gas industry had a very profitable year in 1997 and the outlook is bright for 1998 and beyond.

All the components of the industry such as oil and gas companies, drilling contractors, oilfield equipment suppliers and offshore fabricators experienced increased profits in 1997.

Its major commercial applications included coastal zone and environmental monitoring, marine navigation, offshore oil and gas operation, natural disaster mitigation and coastal and deep ocean fishing.

Non living marine resources include beach and nearshore minerals, deep sea minerals, offshore oil and gas, and chemicals and freshwater from the sea. Deep sea minerals

246. Over the past five decades, the ever expanding exploration for and exploitation of offshore oil and gas resources have taken place in many parts of the world.

This is offshore.

It is understood that a 10 billion cubic meter shale gas field is equivalent to a 10 million tonne oil field.

The optimism about 1998 and beyond is based on, among other things, a high utilization rate of offshore drilling rigs (near full capacity), a large number of new rigs under construction (e.g., largest number of mobile rigs since the 1980s), a surge in the construction of offshore supply vessels that support exploration drilling and field development activities, and an increase in spending by oil and gas companies on newly bid leases.

It is understood that Chongqing currently owns 18 shale gas exploration rights established by Ministry of Land and Resources as the first domestic shale gas mining rights the Sinopec Fuling shale gas field.

Natural gas from the Yadana gas field will be sold to Thailand and at present a pipeline is being laid by Total and Unocal to carry the gas to the Myanmar Thai border.

Oil and gas production in offshore environments and the shipment of crude oil and refined products pose the risk of catastrophic spills that affect the marine environment in particular.

The concept of the oceans associated only with shipping, navy and fishing was changed forever. 247. The offshore oil and gas industry is currently experiencing a record year in terms of production of oil as well as of gas, and in terms of exploration activities.

VII. Offshore installations and structures

250. The fiftieth anniversary of the offshore hydrocarbon industry is not only a vantage point for looking back among the business and research communities and others, but also for looking ahead. The advances in marine science and technology which spurred and were spurred by the offshore oil and gas industry during the past 50 years are also pointing to the oceans as a source of varied non living resources. 251. Gas to liquid.

The whole Japanese navy's anchored offshore.

In Myanmar, Total together with Unocal, a Los Angeles based oil and gas multinational, and Texaco seem to collaborate with the Government of Myanmar in an offshore natural gas project reportedly, Texaco apos s pipeline will run parallel to a pipeline in the process of being built by Unocal and Total.

The first offshore wells were called whales.

The first offshore drills were called harpoons.

Shale gas is a clean energy resource. It is understood that the completion of the 10 billion cubic meter shale gas field will help cut 12 million tonnes of CO2 emission annually.

He stressed that much of the territory of Belize consisted of offshore islands and that a substantial proportion of its municipalities were located offshore.

It was six miles offshore and 1,250 feet down.

(b) Removal and disposal of offshore installations and structures

248. The offshore industry has essentially been self regulatory.

Other projects in the field included the development of the Greenhouse Gas Observing Satellite and Global Precipitation Measurement Dual frequency Precipitation Radar.

(iii) On a gas by gas basis.

The main sea based sources of marine litter are merchant shipping, ferries and cruise liners, fishing vessels (mainly as a source of abandoned or lost fishing gear), military fleets, research vessels, pleasure craft, offshore oil and gas platforms and aquaculture installations.

305. The move of the offshore oil and gas industry to deeper waters farther from the coast gave rise to an important delimitation issue between the United States and Mexico with regard to their continental shelves in the Gulf of Mexico.

Medium concentrations in or offshore of Pinellas County have been reported in the past week, low to high concentrations offshore of Hillsborough County, background to high concentrations in Manatee County, background to high concentrations in or offshore of Sarasota County, background to medium concentrations in Charlotte County, background to high concentrations in or offshore of Lee County, and low concentrations in Collier County.

148. The UNU IIST offshore courses have three main objectives.

In the field of environmental protection, the Committee noted that a fibre optic sensor system was being used to evaluate fatigue on marine pipelines and risers, and on offshore drilling and oil production rigs.

We are also proposing that an international convention be adopted to establish liability and compensation for both economic losses and ecological damage caused by offshore oil and gas exploration and production, which should also always be subject to legally binding safety protocols.

We've been through this before with other ways of offshore drilling.
