1 Remote Sensing Workshop for the Oil and Gas Industry, ESRIN - Sept E&P Needs for coastal sensitivities mapping Catherine Sutton - TOTAL EP O&G Workshop, ESRIN, Frascati, Italy, September 2010

2 Mapping coastal sensitivities using Satellite RS data TOTAL E&P Activities : Context SD Commitment From Exploration to Decommissioning E&P RS needs and applications : Environmental and social impact assessment studies Environmental management Spill response strategy 2 - O&G Workshop, ESRIN, Sept 2010, Catherine Sutton

3 Total Sustainable Development Policy Commitment Control and reduce our impacts Contribute to the socio-economic development Prepare the long term future

4 E&P phases Context Permit Operational Impacts Accidental Impacts Seismic Drilling Engineering /Construction Production Decommissioning Exploration Development Production Abandonment Impact Assessment Impact Assessment Environmental Management

5 Impact Assessment Studies Studies Objectives : Baseline studies To characterize the future Project location before starting any activity : Preliminary information collection (desk study), Field survey : inventory and analysis Interpretation : Intial status, sensitivities mapping Deliverables = ESBS Reports, Maps (GIS), Database Objectives : Impact Assessment Studies To describe the Project To integrate the Baseline Studies conclusions, To Identify, quantify and assess the effects of the Project (impacts) on E & S, To define mitigation measures and assess residual impacts assessment, To provide recommendations for Management plans Deliverable = ESIA Report

6 Preliminary data collection and interpretation Baseline studies Physical data : Geography, Topography/bathymetry Geomorphology & geology Climatology Hydrography, hydrodynamism Biological data : Habitats, Protected areas, Human activities, land use. Use of Remote Sensing Information

7 Site survey data collection and validation Baseline studies Physical data (field validation) Topography/bathymetry, Geomorphology & geology Climatology Hydrography, hydrodynamism Sedimentology Chemical data (sampling) Water, sediment, soils, air quality Biological data (inventory, sampling) Habitats description Flora and fauna communities Ecological patrimony & environmental sensitivity Social and socio-economic data

8 Potential effects on coastal areas Impact Assessment Site location / Footprint Water intakes / Effluents discharges Erosion Water circulation, natural drainage modification Natural habitats disturbance (footprint, noise, light,.) Atmospheric emissions Human activities disturbance (navigation, fishing, tourism, )

9 Ex : Impact on corals and mitigations Impact assessment Early phase site selection (1995) Presence and location of corals not known Intake Mitigations : Design modification Outfall 1997 discharge location Main impacts : -Footprint of marine facilities -Cooling water outfall discharge (effluent :+10 C, m3/h) 2001 route 2006 route Final discharge point

10 Impact assessment Ex : Impact on aquaculture and mitigations

11 Environmental Management in operation Monitoring Quality of the environment turbidity, erosion areas, corals health, Land occupation modifications Human development around our installations, deforestation,. Reinstatement follow up

12 Ex : Mangrove replantation and follow up ROW : restoration of natural ecosystem fight against erosion ³ Monitoring 12 00,450,9 Kilometers Deforestation / Reforestation

13 Ex : Corals protection and monitoring Monitoring Monitoring during construction : turbidity, corals health, Implementation of a long-term monitoring during operation : transplanted corals, fishing nursery, corals health follow up 13 Silt curtains Transplantation

14 Spill prevention and response strategy Spill response Spill Prevention planning Accident scenario / modeling Alert procedure / Information /Communication Strategy of response Crisis organisation Mobilisation of resources Strategy of Response based on : Mapping of sensitive / vulnerable areas Equipment location, Aerial surveillance, Polluted site accessibility Coastal, nearshore areas Environmental Sensitive Index (ESI, NOAA) 14

15 Crisis Management Spill response Sharing information : GIS and Intranet Communication Emergency response : Equipment availability, meteo, product characteristics, logistics, Site Location Sensitivities

16 Conclusion An increasing need for risk evaluation in the early phases of Projects Long term follow up of impacts and mitigations Access to information via GIS and Internet Spill management
