Ecotoxicological Risk of Produced Water Discharged From Oil Production Platforms in the Statfjord and Gullfaks Field

  • Chapter
Produced Water 2

Part of the book series: Environmental Science Research ((ESRH,volume 52))

Abstract

The actual ecotoxicological risk of the discharge of produced water from an offshore oil or gas production platform is mainly based on the dilution processes around the platform. Risk analysis based on the chemical composition of the produced water may give some insight into the contribution of the individual components to the overall ecotoxicological risk, allowing specific measures to reduce the discharge of components associated with the highest risk.
