Environmental Risk Management

Environmental Risk Management services provide clients with information for decision-making on the environmental consequences of proposed projects / modifications to promote environmentally justifiable and sustainable development. The focus of the environmental risk assessment is to prevent, mitigate and offset any adverse effects of proposed project / modifications.

Albain Group utilises a variety of tools and processes to identify the Environmental, Social and Economic impacts of a proposed development / modification to identify the most environmentally suitable option; best practicable environmental option and any suitable alternative processes.

Environmental Technology Management is aimed at reducing the environmental risk level and the planned emissions to atmosphere; discharges to sea and waste generation for both new and existing offshore / onshore installations. This is applied from concept study to operation, for new builds and facility modifications.

Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) is the means which will enable decision makers to take into account possible environmental, societal and health impacts during the design and implementation phase of new or modifications projects. Each EIA is tailored to meet the local and regional requirements. EIA uses a multidisciplinary and integrated approach, with the aim to identify, predict and evaluate potential impacts of a proposed project or development.

Environmental Modelling is about understanding and predicting the linkages from activity to environmental impact and risk assessment.

Environmental Risk Analysis: Some countries (e.g. Norway) require all operating companies engaged in exploration and/or production of oil and gas to assess the environmental risk connected with their activity. This includes quantitative or qualitative analysis of environmental risk for sensitive natural such birds populations, marine mammals, fish and coastal habitats.

Oil Spill Contingency Analysis: Operational activity with a risk for acute pollution of oil need to be subjected to an analysis to evaluate the environmental risk and related contingency measures to mitigate the potential impacts of any accidental releases. This includes assessment of the required oil spill response capacity in the different barriers, as well as the effect of alternative response strategies and measures and selecting the optimal solution for oil spill preparedness based on the contingency analysis. This results in development of oil spill preparedness plans to identify appropriate response actions if an accidental release of oil or gas should occur.
