This document is a review of pollution prevention practices & opportunities for offshore oil & gas activities in Atlantic Canada. After an introduction on the legal context, the costs & benefits of pollution prevention, and pollution prevention planning, it focusses on pollution prevention opportunities for five priority aspects of offshore operations: air emissions, drilling muds & cuttings, produced water, biocides, and glycol. The document identifies current practices already followed or designed into projects and future opportunities that may become technologically & economically feasible. It also discusses other opportunities for pollution prevention or examples not within those five priorities, such as slender well design and carbon dioxide injection, along with case studies of their application.

Synthetic based drilling fluids (SBF) are a relatively new class of drilling muds that are particularly useful for deepwater & deviated hole drilling. They were developed to combine the technical advantages of oil based drilling fluids (OBF) with the low persistence & toxicity of water based drilling fluids (WBF). Chapters: introduction; background: offshore drilling, & drilling fluids; characteristics of synthetic based fluids; fate of synthetic based drilling fluids in the marine environment; bioavailability & toxicity of SBF cuttings; biological impacts of SBF cuttings discharges; & discussion: ecological risk assessment. References. Annotated bibliography: synthetic based drilling muds. Extensive charts & tables

This timely book examines in detail the life-cycle of petroleum products, the environmental issues arising, and how the industry has responded to these challenges with the application of technology and organisation. Coverage is of the complete product life-cycle form production and refining of crude oil through to the use of the products and includes such topical issues as decommissioning of offshore oil installations. The oil industry produces a range of products without which modern civilisation could not exist; however, an increasingly environmentally aware society demands that products are manufactured without undue pollution or hazard to people. The ability and willingness of the industry to comply determines whether society continues to allow it a licence to operate. For each stage of a product life-cycle, the issues and constraints are identified - what they are, who is imposing them and why, their technical and financial implications. The technological solutions which have been found or are being developed are then outlined in a legal and commercial context. Written primarily for those working in the oil and related industries, this book also provides essential reference material for government and research institutions and all those with an interest in environmental technological issues.
