As part of the project planning process, a full Environmental Impact Assessment is being carried out
for this activity and once this is completed, we will be submitting an Environmental Statement for the
development. In line with DTI regulations [The Offshore Petroleum Production and Pipe-lines (Assessment of
Environmental Effects) Regulations 1999], the Environmental Statement will be available and open for
public consultation as part of the approval process.
In addition and as part of Shell’s commitment to Health, Safety and the Environment in the pursuit of
the goal of no harm to people, protection of the environment and the efficient use of materials and
energy, we intend to consult widely with all who may have an interest in our project activities and invite
you for further dialogue, should you wish to take part in such consultations.
If you would be interested, I would be grateful if you could complete the attached form and return it to
Paul Wood at the above address, or by e-mail to Bill.Gray@shell.com by 27 th March. Please pass the
form to anyone else in your organisation that might also be an appropriate contact for consultation.
Yours sincerely
Bill Gray
Project Manager, Bardolino field development.
