摘要

In parallel with the great economic value created by oil andrngas industry, the environmental protection in oil and gasrnactivities including prevention and response of emergencyrnsituation - a cause of environmental pollution at high level, isrnalso attached a special attention. In Vietnam, most of oil andrngas exploration and production activities concentrate in thernSoutheast sea, where marine transportation is very active.rnConsequently, in this area, the risk of oil spill is particularlyrnhigh. In order to respond with oil spill immediately andrneffectively, the establishment of an environmental sensitivityrnmap for the areas that may be impacted is very necessary. Thisrnmap will constitute basics to select priority areas for responsernand suitable response measures.
