This paper described a survey of the benthic macrofauna and sediments of the Forties Oilfield in the North Sea. From the Abstract: “Twenty-five sampling sites were arranged at various distances from the production platforms.

From the Abstract: “The discharge of drilling cuttings, contaminated with oil-based drilling mud, was found to strongly modify meiofaunal densities within 800 m of the Beryl A Platform.

From the Abstract: “We present a study of benthic foraminiferal faunas from the outer continental shelf off Congo (tropicalWest Africa), with the aim to determine the impact of the discharge of oily drill cuttings on the sea floor environment, to judge
From the Abstract: “Two benthic surveys werer conducted to monitor the possible accumulation of trace metals resulting from the discharge of drilling muds and drill solids during exploratory drilling in theMid-Atlanti Bight.
From the Abstract: “Recovery from disturbance in deep water is poorly understood, but as anthropogenic impacts increase in deeper water it is important to quantify the process.

From the Abstract: “The benthic macrofauna of two Deltana Platform offshore gas wells was assessed for the first time in Venezuela and correlated with changes in sediment chemistry after exploratory perforation.
