Abstract

The paper considers the main aspects of offshore platforms impact on the environment and qualitative assessment also was made. This article provides a thorough introduction to the analysis of the main systems and components that could have the most significant impact. These include hull, mooring systems, marine power plant and its systems, drilling equipment. The following types of the offshore platform impacts are considered: on the atmosphere, on the subsoil during the well’s construction, on the hydrosphere, as well as on flora and fauna. Based on listed above pollution levels for flora and fauna, atmosphere and water, it can be stated that the considered platforms components in the normal operation conditions practically do not have negative impact on the environment. The greatest but also acceptable impact on the environment could have energy and drilling complexes component. This conclusion applies to the accident free offshore platform operation in compliance with all the marine activities governing rules, so is for the equipment installation that meets all the requirements for its technical condition.
