Environmental Emissions
In this section, you can find out about the source of emissions released into the environment as a result of oil and gas production, potential environmental impacts and the key control and mitigation measures in place. These emissions are underwater sound, produced water, NORM scale, chemical discharges, drill cuttings, atmospheric emissions, waste and oil spills. The evidence we have for discharges to the marine environment suggests that the residual risk is not significant and that further reduction in discharges would provide no benefit to the environment.
