雪佛龍支持NDC石油設(shè)備設(shè)施環(huán)保退役研究

據(jù)3月6日Offshore Energy報道，英國國家海上設(shè)施退役中心(NDC)和石油巨頭雪佛龍公司簽署了一項協(xié)議，該協(xié)議將支持NDC的研究工作，直到2023年。

阿伯丁大學(xué)(University of Aberdeen)周四表示，該合作項目將資助一系列研究項目，旨在更好地量化退役對環(huán)境的影響，并從環(huán)境角度為最佳選擇提供指導(dǎo)。

這些項目將集中于監(jiān)測作為人造海洋生境的設(shè)施和管道周圍的魚類資源的技術(shù)、潛在退役相關(guān)物質(zhì)的生物利用度，以及對所留下的近?；A(chǔ)設(shè)施的壽命和最終命運進行建模。

NDC主任、阿伯丁大學(xué)的理查德·尼爾森(Richard Neilson)對NDC與能源專業(yè)的首次合作表示歡迎，他表示:“我很高興，雪佛龍能成為我們的第一個固定合作伙伴，并期待著與之合作評估石油設(shè)備設(shè)施退役對環(huán)境的影響?！?/span>

Chevron enters environmentally-friendly decommissioning research pact

UK’s National Decommissioning Centre (NDC) and oil major Chevron have signed an agreement that would support research at the NDC through to 2023.

The University of Aberdeen said on Thursday that the partnership would fund a portfolio of research projects that would aim to better quantify the environmental impacts of decommissioning and provide guidance on the best options from an environmental perspective.

The projects will focus on techniques for monitoring fish stocks around installations and pipelines as man-made marine habitats, the bioavailability of potential decommissioning-related substances, and modeling the longevity and eventual fate of offshore infrastructure left in situation.

Welcoming the first partnership between the NDC and an energy major, NDC director Richard Neilson from the University of Aberdeen, said: “I am delighted that we have Chevron as our first anchor partner, and look forward to working in partnership to assess the environmental impacts of decommissioning.
