1.2 Environmental Impact Assessment
The environmental impact assessment (EIA) for all the production and service assets
was first conducted during the period of 1998–2000, and based on this the
environmental management plans and programmes were developed. The previous
environmental assessment study for Estate Services asset was completed in November
1999 (Reference 1). It is an internal requirement in PDO to review and update of the
EIA once in every three years, in order to periodically reassess the environmental
impacts and appropriately revise the environmental management plans and
programmes. Accordingly, PDO has requested HMR Environmental Engineering
Consultants (HMR Consultants) to carry out the first review and update of the EIA for
all its assets.
This study was conducted over the period of June – December 2002 and presents the
review and update of the environmental assessment for the Estate Services asset.
