Phase 3 RN07 main results: Recommended standards for reference, offshore oil & gas

ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System- The ISO 14001 implies that activities are planned for and executed

in a systematic manner considering relevant environmental aspects and aiming at continuous improvement.

International Finance Corporation / World bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines: - Offshore Oil and Gas Development (2007)

- Air Emissions- Wastewaters- Waste management- Hazardous Materials Management- Noise- Decommissioning

- Ambient Air Quality (2007)

NORSOK S-003 Environmental Care (2005)

OGP waste management guidelines with special focus on areas with limited infrastructure (2009)



9 December 2010

6

Phase 3 RN07 main results: Recommended standards for reference, maritime

IMO MARPOL 73/78 Annexes with amendments- Annex I. Prevention of pollution by oil- Annex II. Control of pollution by noxious liquid substances- Annex III. Prevention of pollution by harmful substances in

packaged form - Annex IV. Prevention of pollution by sewage from ships- Annex V. Prevention of pollution by garbage from ships- Annex VI. Prevention of air pollution from ships

IMO Ballast water Convention

IMO Antifouling Convention



9 December 2010

Phase 3 RN07 main results: Recommendation for new and stricter environmental standards

Development of regional Industry Standard to reflect MARPOL Special Area (SA) requirements on relevant issues for petroleum related ship traffic (oil, garbage)

Develop of regional Industry Standard for ships and offshore installations to work on lighter fuels, instead of heavy grade fuels

New standard for the reduction of burning of liquids in the proximity to ice covered areas

New standard for underwater noise from maritime vessels



9 December 2010

8

Phase 3 RN07 main results:Recommendation for further harmonization in 2010

Harmonised standard for pollution detection

Harmonised standard for offshore environmental monitoring for the Barents Sea

Joint seminars of Russia and Norway on specific international issues of environmental monitoring

Waste Management – further development and harmonisation

Further work on harmonisation on chemicals management

Further harmonization on recommended discharge/emissions levels



9 December 2010

Mandate RN07 Phase 4

Specify and propose a regional standard for regular emissions and discharges from ships and offshore units in the Barents Sea, including applying the MARPOL Special Area (SA) requirements

Barents 2020Phase 4Mandate

Approach RN07 Phase 4

Barents 2020Phase 3Report

− International reference standards− Suggested changes to existing standards− New standards

Technical frameworkDocuments (5)August – December 2010

Further technical harmonisationJanuary – May 2011

− Regular emissions to air− Regular discharges to sea− Waste management− MARPOL SA requirements− Environmental control and monitoring

Produce a regionalenvironmental industry standardby end 2011



9 December 2010

11

Status of progress

Developed Technical framework documents (TFD):- Regular emissions to air- Regular discharges to sea- Environmental monitoring and control- Waste management- MARPOL Special Area issues

Purpose of the TFDs: To establish a common basis and scope for development of the environmental standard, i.e.- Present, discuss and agree on reference standards, issues, parameters,

levels and limits.

Draft TFDs developed by International/Norwegian experts mid October 2010

Translated to Russian language and distributed Commented on by Russian experts Discussed at RN07 meeting in Moscow 7 December

Regular emissions to air, examples

Soot/black carbon - Fuel quality

Sulphur contents in fuels (MARPOL; North Sea 0.1% from 2015, IFC/WB, NORSOK S-003)

NOX (MARPOL – NOx curve Tier II, IFC/WB; 25 ppm gas turbine)

nmVOC; loading operations (harmonization)

Emissions reduction technologies



9 December 2010

13

Discharges to sea, examples

MARPOL Special Area requirements for petroleum associated maritime vessels:- Garbage (incl. food waste in areas with ice) ”0”, - Oil ”0”; SA has 0 discharge for slop and 15 ppm for bilge, Antarctica SA 0 also for bilge

Offshore oil & gas activities; - IFC/WB Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines for Offshore Oil and Gas

Development (2007) forms the basis, ”minimum standard”- S-003 Environmental care; design- Harmonise with new Russian environmental regulation (2010)

Parameters to be harmonised (e.g. natural components in PW and added chemicals), and aligned with environmental monitoring



9 December 2010

14

Environmental measurement, monitoring and control

Definition clarification:

1. Monitor effluent streams (discharge to sea) and emission streams (emissions to air)

2. Monitor concentration and contaminant level in external environment (water column, seabed sediment, fish, ice)

3. Monitor biological effects (e.g. benthic fauna diversity)

Environmental measurement, monitoring and control (2)

Today different regimes in Russia and Norway, and different bodies responsible for execution of monitoring (industry, authorities):

Phase 3: “..the Russian monitoring standards are not in depth aligned with offshore conditions, and the Norwegian system needs some development to apply with the Barents Sea conditions (e.g. for ice covered areas). A harmonized system will ensure transparence in monitoring environmental performance (impacts) and facilitate transparence in data exchange and improve opportunity for joint problem solving.”

Establish harmonised list of parameters (pollutants), frequency and scope of monitoring

Establish harmonised methods for monitoring based on internationally approved standards for measurement, analyzes and reporting

16

Waste management, example

Basis;

Waste management hierarchy- Remove and reduce- Reuse- Recycling/recovery- Residue treatment- Dispose

Ships: MARPOL Annex V, waste management plans

Offshore oil & gas; OGP guidelines (2009), waste management plans, waste collection, segregation and storage

EU Hazardous waste classification list



9 December 2010

17

Further work and milestones RN07 Phase 4

Work in dedicated (sub-)groups to develop the adequate technical level of standard per environmental task- Based on international/Norwegian standards and experiences- Harmonized and aligned with Russian standards and practices

- May 2011 expert meeting

Compile report and send it for review- September 2011 expert meeting

Finalise report and present results to the 2011 Barents 2020 conference
