Preserving biodiversity is a key element in sustainable development.
For safety and environmental reasons, it is necessary to add chemicals during the oil and gas production process.
Environmental management means that we conduct our business with regard to the way it affects or could affect the environment.
Energy management will be introduced on all the installations we operate on the NCS during 2008.
We conduct regular checks at this processing plant north of Stavanger to measure possible emissions/discharges.
We constantly assess the environmental risk posed by all our activities.
We have identified all the environmental aspects associated with our operations on the NCS.
Our total dependence on water makes this a unique and crucial resource.
Unfortunately, we experienced our largest oil spill ever in 2007.
Many of the installations have an oil content far below the authorities' requirements.
We collaborate with researchers to identify the environmental impact of drilling discharges.
We are working to achieve waste management methods which minimise the volume sent to landfills.
