The use of passive sampling devices in monitoring of potential impact of offshore discharges and accidental oil spills (PASSIMPACT)

Currently, there is a need to combine chemical characterization with toxicological screening of extracts to address chemicals that are of environmental concern. This applies in particular to potential use of passive samplers as pre-concentrating devices f or bioassay-assisted fractionation and ch...

Identification of Estrogen-Like Compounds in Produced Water from Offshore Oil Installations.

This project focuses on identification of the yet unidentified compounds, long-chain para-substituted alkylphenols and possibly thiols, in produced water. Chemical syntheses will be carried out to provide alkylphenol standards unavailable commercially. St atistical analysis will allow to separate...

Long term effects on Arctic ecosystem from accidental discharges

Off-shore oil exploration and production is moving towards Arctic regions. A strict regulation according to a precautionary principle has been invoked for the oil and gas industry. There is a strong official requirement to avoid long term environmental impacts or effects that may be in conflict w...

Proteome Expression Signatures (PES) in fish as a diagnostic tool to evaluate the environmental impacts of offshore oil and gas exploration

Project summary Recent studies on fish examining the impact of produced water released offshore have revealed an extremely complex response to oil micro droplets and oil spiked with relevant doses of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and alkylated phenols (AP). Protein expression signatures (PES...

Predicting chronic effects in Fish from sublethal markers

Offshore activities input large volumes of moderately contaminated effluents into the North Sea. There is uncertainty as to the biological effects of the effluents, although there are signs that some biological systems are affected. The current methods to assess effects in the pelagic zone mainl...

Environmental effects of oil and gas exploration on the benthic fauna of the Norwegian continental shelf: an analysis using the OLF database

We will use traditional and new multivariate statistical methods to analyse effects of using oil-based and non-oli-based drilling fluids on the benthos of the Norwegian continental shelf. These methods allow one to test hypotheses of cause and effect and thus may move from a descriptive to a pr...

Comparative oral and water based exposures of cod to produced water components.

There are presently three on-going PROOF projects at RF-Akvamiljø and Institute of Marine Research (IMR) concerning effects of produced water components in cod. The projects have different objectives, and they focus on different aspects of effects in fish . Consequently, the studies vary in the w...

The unresolved complex mixture (UCM) of petrogenic oils: Impacts in the seawater column

The unresolved complex mixtures (UCMs) of petrogenic oils represent recalcitrant fractions of the oil after discharges to the marine water column. UCMs may resist both evaporative and biodegradation processes in the water column, and photo-transformation processes may result in toxic UCM-related ...

3 - Effects of produced water to Atlantic cod: Mechanistic studies and biomarker development with proteomics based methods.

Effects of contaminants on an organism start at the molecular level, and are transferred to higher levels of biological organization if the exposure is persistent and toxicological repair is overwhelmed. Long-term effects of produced water on the reproduc tion of Atlantic cod can therefore be stu...

Radioactivity in produced water from Norwegian oil and gas installations - concentrations, bioavailability and doses to marine biota

Large amount of produced water containing elevated levels of radionuclides is discharged to the sea in connection with oil and gas production on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. So far no study has been performed to assess the potential radiological effec ts on marine biota in connection with rad...
