Environmental impact study of drilling rig. Case: gas.

Environmental impact study of drilling rig. Case: gas. When talking about this type of study, several factors must be considered.
The referential framework of this type of work is based on the applicable regulations. This includes applicable international conventions, international aquatic space regulations, and national regulations.
Specialists should know: the detailed geographical location, drilling objectives, exploration program and the characteristics of the platform to be used.
The drilling program will significantly influence disposal costs, and treatments of the project.
In general, this activity will produce both emissions, effluents and waste or waste.
As emissions will be counted with the gas burned in the flares.
The effluents will be: brine, oily water, sewage, and others.
The waste or residues will be composed of: water-based and organic-based gravel, out-of-specification sludge, contaminated sludge, completion brine, maintenance waste, used containers, unused chemicals, metal waste, among others.
The emissions will be modeled, evaluating the dispersion of pollutants. Likewise, the rubble according to what is allowed by legislation.
Another aspect is the affectation of resources, defined by the surface of the platform, volume of sediment removed and volume disturbed by anchoring.
