“…As Italian wells were drilled with synthetic drilling muds, and regulations prohibit the discharge of PW at sea, there have been minimal toxic impacts associated with oil and gas infrastructure (Regoli et al, 2019). While changes in meiofaunal composition in sediment have been observed, the links to toxicity have not been established, and may instead been attributed to alterations in sediment grain size and organic enrichment (Terlizzi et al, 2008;Fraschetti et al, 2016).…”

Decommissioning Research Needs for Offshore Oil and Gas Infrastructure in Australia

When offshore oil and gas infrastructure is no longer needed, it is either removed, partially removed, left in place, or left in place but repurposed. These processes are collectively referred to as decommissioning. Australian legislation requires oil and gas companies to develop acceptable plans for the safe removal of all offshore infrastructure at the end of a project’s life. Over the next 50 years, the liability for this decommissioning in Australia is expected to exceed US$45 billion. Unlike countries such as Norway, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, Australian decommissioning activities are in their infancy, with only three cases (to date) in Commonwealth waters where infrastructure has been left in place or partially removed as part of decommissioning. Differences between the Australian marine environment and that of other regions around the world where decommissioning-related research is better progressed include very low sedimentation rates, both tropical and temperate habitats, different species composition, low primary production, and frequent tropical cyclones, as well as unique sociodemographic and cultural characteristics. Accordingly, the outcomes of the decision support tools used in other regions to identify preferred decommissioning options may not be equally applicable in Australia. Here we describe research to support risk and impact assessment for offshore decommissioning in Australia, where full removal of infrastructure is the “base case” regulatory default, but other options including partial removal and/or repurposing might provide similar or better outcomes when environmental, social, economic and seafood safety aspects are considered. Based on our review we propose an integrated framework for research needs to meet legislative requirements for decommissioning and identify research gaps that need to be addressed to inform decision-making for decommissioning in the Australian context.

Ukraine is such a country where agricultural sector of industry is highly developed. Soil surface is the greatest national wealth. The life quality of the whole population depends on its condition. Agricultural soils have the highest priority in protection and utilization among other soils; and unfortunately just agricultural soils come under man-made influence to the utmost. Poltava oblast has one of the richest natural resources of Ukraine-fertile soils. It was investigated the germination and early development of vegetative organs of spring wheat that was chosen as the test plant for determination of phytotoxicity of different levels of the modulated oil contamination of soil in Poltava region. Macroscopic and morphometric experiment of structural changes in vegetative organs were conducted fourth leaf of the seedlings of wheat spring. New method of identification morphometric features of lamina by of homotopic geometrical models was offered. The usage of homotopic geometrical models feature the minimization of fault of the morphometric measuring gives the opportunity and to use the classic metrics for research of structural changes of cuts, to conduct the analysis of dynamics and determine the orientation of structural changes of biological objects in experimental terms. Investigated the dynamics of spring wheat seedlings mikromorfolohiyi depending on the content of crude oil in the soil. Found that small amounts of oil pollution (5 ml/kg) stimulate anabolic processes in the leaf blade, which is manifested in increasing their size and number of structural elements. with relatively large doses of oil contamination of soil (30 ml/kg) mass of soil significantly retards the development of structural elements of the leaf blade. The conducted researches and morphometric data gave an opportunity to discover three basic effects of influence on the germination and early development of spring wheat under conditions of the modulated oil pollution of the soil (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 ml/kg). The first effect is stimulant, favorable influence of the small doses of oil (≤ 5 ml/kg) on germination and growth of spring wheat. The second effect is resistance. It is revealed in tolerance of wheat furious in action of oil contamination of soil (10-20 ml/kg). The third effect is phytotoxic. The first morphological signs of oppression of seed germination and deceleration the growth of seedlings of spring wheat in the condition of oil contamination of soil (≥ 20 ml/kg) are revealed. An increase in the concentration of oil contamination of the soil to 50 ml/kg of leads to a delay in the growth of seedlings, a decrease in the amount of chlorenchyme in the leaf plate, destruction and death of wheat furious.

“…State-of-the-Art Methods traditionally used in marine monitoring to investigate spatial and temporal variation in abiotic and biotic variables are time-consuming, costly and often limited in resolution (de Jonge et al, 2006;Carstensen, 2014;Fraschetti et al, 2016). These constraints can severely limit our capacity to detect spatial and temporal changes in marine environmental health.…”
