Petroleum exploration

This publication, prepared in cooperation with the oil industry’s Exploration Production Forum, sets out the oil exploration process, describes the potential environmental consequences of exploration and recommends measures for the prevention or minimization of adverse impacts. The material is based on the experience of IUCN’s Environmental Assessment Service.

La Fondation Internationale du Banc d'Arguin (FIBA) souhaite mettre à disposition des institutions et de la société civile mauritaniennes en particulier et ouest-africaines en général, une synthèse concernant les impacts potentiels d'une telle activité sur l'écosystème, ainsi que d'une revue des aspects réglementaires de l'exploitation et du transport du pétrole en mer pour en informer ses partenaires. Les impacts écologiques de l'installation de plates-formes pétrolières sont abordés, ainsi que les risques dus aux déversements accidentels d'hydrocarbures.
