| Abstract |
The report discusses the environmental and fisheries problems associated with offshore pipelines. The report focuses on how these problems can be addressed during the pipeline planning and route selection process. Geologic hazards are highlighted as the major factors related to pipeline failure which can be addressed through the pipeline routing process. Habitats and ecosystems are particularly susceptible to installation-related disturbances. These areas as well as those where geologic hazards are most likely to be encountered are described. Fishing problems highlighted include loss of access to fishing areas due to pipelines both from platform to shore and between platforms. The effects of obstructions on bottom fishing gear are also considered. The concept of pipeline trenching for safety and stability is discussed. Finally, criteria to use in analyzing a proposed pipeline route are presented. Topics discussed include general industry siting criteria, geologic and environmental areas to avoid in pipeline siting and methods for minimizing unavoidable impacts. The report is designed to be used by scientists or engineers involved in offshore petroleum pipeline planning. |
