Lochside Environmental Seabed Survey, UK 2007 (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
In July 2007, Geolab Nor AS conducted an environmental seabed survey at the Lochside prospect in the Faroe Shetland Channel, commissioned by Chevron Upstream Europe. The survey aimed to characterize the physico-chemical and biological properties of the area, which is a prerequisite for an Environmental Impact Assessment and regulatory documentation before potential exploration drilling in 2008. The study found the seabed sediment primarily composed of fine to very fine sands, with a diverse macrofauna community concentrated in the top 10 cm of sediment, revealing important ecological insights relevant for marine resource management.
