From the Abstract: “This paper reviews scientific information on chemical forms and fate in the marine environment of mercury associated with drilling fluid barite.
From the Abstract: “Sediment and water were collected in Camden Bay (Alaskan Beaufort Sea) during August 2008 to help establish a baseline data set in advance of proposed offshore oil and gas exploration and production.

From the Abstract: “Concentrations of total Hg in sediments near six drilling sites in the Gulf of Mexico were elevated well above average background values of 40–80 ng/g. The excess Hg was associated with barite from discharged drilling mud.
This was a slide presentation that summarized some of the results of the Gulf Universities Research Consortium research effort The Impact of Oil Drilling and Production in Timbalier Bay, Lousiana and Southward in the Northcentral Gulf of Mexico, 1972–1
In the Abstract: “Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) and blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) were used to determine the bioavailable fraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from oil field produced water in the North Sea.
The volume contains a series of papers examining the cumulative effects of petroleum drilling and production. The study centered on Timbalier Bay and the adjacent offshore in Louisiana.
