This report investigates five older and two newer exploration oil wells to determine the environmental impact in a tropical climate. The five older sites were created prior to the OCS and MMS regulations for drilling, and the newer two were created with the OCS and MMS regulations. This investigation was set to determine if these sites had a positive, negative, or no impact on the environment.

A document by the Bureau of Land Management that details the organization's long-term goals to shape, stabilize, and treat disturbed areas so as to make productive use of the land.

This is a study to find out if offshore platforms provide habitat for overfished species such as Red Snapper.

This is a study on the movements and possible management of red snapper around and among oil and gas well of the coast.

This is a study on the 25 years of continuous monitoring of coral reefs in the East and West Flower Garden Banks in the Gulf of Mexico. The study was based on concerns of the impact of offshore oil and gas impact on these sensitive reefs.

This is a study on the possible effects of metals and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons elevated due to possible proximity to oil and gas production platforms.

This is a study that looks at the potential biotechnology application of organisms attached to offshore platforms and wells.

This is a study on the oil industries offshore equipment offers substratum base for coral to spawn and grow.

This report is to formalize the REA/MMS forecast models used in the Gulf Coast. With these models they forecast GOM infrastructure like number of exploratory wells and number of development wells.

Report contains a collection of environmental studies conducted by the MMS in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico to guide and ensure responsible stewardship of the coastal and marine environments of the NE Gulf of Mexico and balance this against energy needs for the American public.

This report contains meteorological data collected over five years concerning the air quality and other environmental assessments of the Gulf of Mexico utilizing the Offshore and Coastal Dispersion (OCD5) model and the CALMET/CALPUFF modeling system.

This survey provides counts of allegations and substantiated incidents of sexual violence in adult correctional facilities based in surveys from 2009-2011.

This report covers the observed environmental impacts of synthetic based drilling fluids (SBF) that are used in deepwater oil drilling. It is found that SBF tends to accumulate in the sediment which tends to exhibit low toxicity and effects the living organisms in various ways.

This report provides information for policymakers, scientists and engineers in the field of climate change and reductions of CO2 emissions.

This assessment report details the results of the 2007 Assessment of Oil and Gas Activities in the Arctic conducted under the auspices of the Arctic Council and coordinated by the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP).

A draft resource management plan (RMP) and environmental impact statement (EIS) to amend the management of over 700,000 acres of BLM land in Coronado and Utah for the preservation of the Gunnison Sage-Grouse (GUSG), a threatened species under the endangered Species Act (ESA).

A letter report issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "As with conventional oil and gas development, requirements from eight federal environmental and public health laws apply to unconventional oil and gas development. For example, the Clean Water Act (CWA) regulates discharges of pollutants into surface waters. Among other things, CWA requires oil and gas well site operators to obtain permits for discharges of produced water—which includes fluids used for hydraulic fracturing, as well as water that occurs naturally in oil- or gas-bearing formations—to surface waters. In addition, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) governs the management and disposal of hazardous wastes, among other things. However, key exemptions or limitations in regulatory coverage affect the applicability of six of these environmental and public health laws. For example, CWA also generally regulates stormwater discharges by requiring that facilities associated with industrial and construction activities get permits, but the law and its regulations largely exempt oil and gas well sites. In addition, oil and gas exploration and production wastes are exempt from RCRA hazardous waste requirements based on a regulatory determination made by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1988. EPA generally retains its authorities under federal …

This document summarizes an economic projection model is third in a series of investigations concerning the social and economic impacts of the Coastal Alabama offshore gas industry. In addition to Alabama, this forecast concerns the economies of Texas and Louisiana as well. The results are based off the results from the study "Economic Effects of Coastal Alabama and Destin Dome Offshore Natural Gas Exploration, Development and Production."

The purpose of this report is to quantify the influence of private and market uncertainty on concessionary and contractual fiscal systems.

Report on the impact of offshore gas and oil industry on coastal communities along the Gulf of Mexico with an emphasis on socioeconomic and natural resource management issues.
