Review of the net environmental benefit analysis support for the Shelburne Basin Venture Exploration Drilling Project .: Fs70-7/2015-019E-PDF

The analysis described in the NEBA document provides for a well-organized review of the various response options available if an oil spill incident were to occur during the Shelburne Basin Venture Exploration Drilling Project. The document clearly outlines the theory and steps used to conduct the NEBA, and then apply the process to five response options that were identified. The conclusion of the report that subsurface injection of dispersants would result in the lowest environmental impact appears to be supported by the best science available at this time.
