English Abstract
Implement the necessary measures is necessary to limit the potential damages and risks resulting from oil and gas exploration activities to take the necessary precautions and arrangements to protect the land, air, waters and the groundwater basins from pollution and damage.
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process is used to ensure that environmental and social sustainability considerations are included in decisions regarding the Projects considering the possible impacts associated with the proposed Centralized Waste Facility (CWF).
The EIA was undertaken with consideration of the environmental standards and guidelines to determine the environmental impact assessment of Halfaya Oilfield; this facility is located in Missan Province in southern Iraq, south east of Amarah City.
The Project has been assessed with respect to the applicable Federal or Client standard.
Where appropriate, international standards have been considered alongside Federal and Client standards for reference.
The EIA commenced on the 13th of October 2014 and is expected to last a total of 9 months.
The classification of wastes is made using the EU European Waste Classification (EWC) codes; these codes describe whether the material is hazardous, non-hazardous, or inert.
The work is split by where the waste arises, and then there are categories and sub-categories in each part.
CPE has confirmed that there are no naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) arising from drilling activities at Halfaya.
At the concept design stage for treatment, storage and disposal of each of the recorded waste streams have been described and reported in this work.
