From the Executive Summary: “This review concentrates on contaminant leaching from drill cuttings piles that have accumulated on the seabed of the northern and central North Sea (56°N-62°N) since th first exploratory wells were drilled in 1961.
From the Abstract: “North Sea drill cuttings piles are a distinct anthropogenic legacy resulting from the exploration and production of North Sea oil reserves.
From the Abstract: “The effects of discharges from oil and gas production platforms off southern California are being monitored during a long-term (five-year) study.
From the Abstract: “For a typical offshore petroleum well, 500–1000 t (dry weight excluding cuttings) of drilling fluid solids are discharged into the sea.
