All oil and natural gas exploration, development and production operations are carried out in accordance with environmental and human safety standards. Statutes and regulations have been put in place by the government to ensure that oil and gas operations are environmentally responsible.
Since the well being drilled for project ER262 is currently situated in a sensitive area, BBP operations must ensure that it minimises its environmental impact while making significant advancements in the drilling programme. The target reservoir’s geological formations, which have held and allowed hydrocarbons to build up, must be penetrated by the well. This means that in order to stop such leaks from happening, rigorous analysis, appropriate well construction and integrity maintenance is crucial.
The promise to adhere to an environmental management plan was made in exchange for the exploration right. Furthermore, BBP has developed an environmental management plan tailored to the particular site, taking into account environmental concerns, local difficulties and drill footprint rehabilitation.
A team of ecologists, environmental scientists, and archaeologists ensured that the drilling sites were selected with respect and mindfulness to the environment and cultural legacy. Furthermore, environmental monitoring was carried out to better understand the background noise levels and guarantee that the area remains as quiet as possible. BBP has a wellestablished connection with the Petroleum Agency of South Africa, which ensures that it complies with environmental laws and regulations. BBP has demonstrated a strong commitment to environmental conservation and is a shining example of sustainable development in South Africa.
BBP contracted EXM Environmental Science as an environmental advisory partner as well as a provider of technical and scientific input into the drilling programme. EXM is a multidisciplinary consulting firm with professionals in everything from environmental engineering to soil sciences. Their priority is to assist the mining and petroleum industries in achieving their development goals while ensuring a sustainable future and a healthy environment for present and future people.
