From the Abstract: “As part of the ICES/IOC Bremerhaven Workshop, the macrofauna near a former drilling site for gas in the southern North Sea was investigated.
From the Abstract: “Exploratory drilling at a well site in the shelf break region off Atlantic City, New Jersey, appears to have had several different effects on benthic invertebrates and demersal fish.
This book contains a series of research papers that summarize research conducted on the effects of oil and gas production in the Buccaneer Field, located in the Gulf of Mexico, off Texas.
From the Conclusions: “Only thirteen of the forty shrimp collected from the region of the Buccaneer oil field contained petroleum alkanes, and the majority of these were obtained from trawls immediately adjacent to the production platforms.
From the Conclusions: “Alkane profiles of 48 benthic organisms from the Buccaneer oil field are reported. Coral samples contained biogenic alkanes in the C22 to C32 region….
From the Abstract: “Fouling communities typical of shallow water inshore sites were found at three locations in the Moray Firth. At each, an initial background cover of solitary tubeworms and barnacles was overgrown by secondary fouling organisms.
From the Abstract: “A research programme on the effects of drill-cutting discharges on the benthic system around platforms on the Dutch continental shelf has been running since 1985, with emphasis on locations where oil-based drilling muds (OBM) have b
From the Summary and Conclusions: “1. Elevated oil concentrations (up to 300 mg-kg"1 dry sediment) were found up to 100 m (residual current direction) from the platform.
