The Gulf of Mexico Offshore Operations Monitoring Experiment (GOOMEX) is a three-phase study to test and
evaluate a range of biological, biochemical, and chemical methodologies to detect and assess chronic sublethal biological

Patterns of the geochemical characteristics of sediments adjacent to three production platforms (22–150 m water
depths) in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico were determined by the presence of the structure, the amount and type of materials

From Conclusions and Significant Findings: “1) Production Platform 296B was estimated to have discharged 5.08 x 105 bbl of produced water during 1978-1979.
Preliminary results indicate that many species of benthic Foraminifera and Mollusca have colonized
offshore Louisiana oil and gas platforms. Some of these, especially the sessile species, may have
biotechnology potential.

This paper summarizes the studies assessing the effects of gas and oil development in the Buccaneer Field, located about 50 km south southeast of Galveston, Texas.
Hydrocarbon analyses, using gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), have been conducted on benthic sediments from around the Beatrice A platform immediately after completion of the first well using low-toxicity oil-based drilling mud.
A 4-year multidisciplinary monitoring program was conducted between October 1986 and October 1990 to detect and quantify environmental impacts related to oil and gas drilling in the Arguello Field in southern California.

The distribution of polychaetes associated with an offshore gas platform built on a muddy–sandy bottom in the northern Adriatic Sea was investigated with emphasis on their feeding structure.
