From the Summary: “The concentration of elemental sulfur in the produced water effluent from production platforms in the Buccaneer oil field was determined.
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: “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.
From the Abstract: “Changes to benthic infauna caused by exploratory gas drilling operations in the Minerva field were examined experimentally using a BACI (before, after, control, impact) design.
From the Conclusions: “Barium concentrations in sediments and sediment traps located within several kilometers of Platform Hidalgo increased during 1987 and 1988 due to drilling activities at three platforms in the area.
