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 Conclusions: “BLUMER et al. (1963, 1964) have reported the presence of pristane in relatively high concentrations in several copepods and have suggested that this compound has a role in the maintenance of buoyancy by these organisms.

From the Summary and Conclusions: “A monitored sand washing and discharge at WD 103B [located in the Gulf of Mexico] to provide data on the fate of radium isotopes and oil and grease associated with produced sand discharges…

From the Summary: “The distance to which sediment contamination related to a produced water discharge has been identified in the receiving environment was found in our present study to be greater than for any studies to date.

From the Abstract: “Two production platforms and one non-production platform were studied to determine if the effects of offshore petroleum development in the form of a produced water discharge could be identified on the Louisiana continental shelf and

From the Abstract: “The impact of drilling oil activities in the Brazilian Bonito Field/Campos Basin (Rio de Janeiro) shell drilling (300 m) using nonaqueous fluids (NAFs) was investigated with respect to Al, Fe, Mn, Ba, Co, Pb, Cu, As, Hg, Cr, Ni, Zn,
From the Abstract: “Nine-year (1986–1995) records of barium (Ba) concentrations in surficial, subsurface, and suspended sediments near offshore oil and gas platforms in the Santa Maria Basin, California, USA, were analyzed to evaluate temporal trends r
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.
