1 Scope
This document gives requirements, specifications and guidelines to ensure that environmental
monitoring in the offshore Arcticregion is fit for purpose. The Arcticregion includes the territory
lying to the North of the Arctic Circle (Latitude 66°33′45.8″). This document can be applied to sub- Arctic locations which experience Arctic -like conditions and contain relevant components of a cold-climate ecosystem.
This document is applicable to all Arctic oil and gas operations from licence block acquisition through exploration, engineering
design, construction, commissioning, operation, decommissioning and restoration. It
covers the offshore or maritime environment, including for the purposes of this document,
the fully marine and estuarine waters of the Arctic , whether frozen or ice-free. The environment includes all relevant physical, chemical
and biological components. Monitoring methods for onshore (terrestrial) environments are not covered in this document,
although onshore environments are included where monitoring is required at onshore locations in relation to an offshore development.
This document covers both monitoring of environmental aspects for normal, abnormal and emergency conditions, and monitoring of environmental impacts . It includes monitoring in near-field, far-field, transboundary and regional scales, but does not include
