Methodologies for OCS-Related Facilities Planning. Onshore Facilities Related to Offshore Oil and Gas Development,

摘要

Methodologies presents a systematic method of planning for offshore oil and gas development. It includes developing hypothetical offshore scenarios of OCS oil and gas activity,estimating the number and kind of onshore facilities required to support a given level of offshore activity,and identifying and assessing the impacts of alternative sites for onshore facilities. Methodologies for site identification and impact analysis accommodate both the industry's site requirements for facilities,and state,local,or county policies concerning economic development and environmental conservation as equal criteria for site selection.
