PrefaceThis environmental report 2008 covers two of the businessunits within the A. P. Moller – Maersk Group :Maersk Drilling and Maersk FPSOs.Maersk Drilling and Maersk FPSOs are engaged in theoil and gas industry providing worldwide offshore drillingand production services.In December 2008 Maersk Drilling operated a fleet of 25mobile offshore drilling units (MODU) including a combineddrilling and production unit in the North Sea, whileMaersk FPSOs operated five mobile vessels for floatingproduction, storage and offloading services.As part of the modernisation and growth of the fleet, anextensive new building programme was initiated in 2005and further expanded during 2006 – 2007. In 2008, oneFPSO and three jack-up drilling units were commissionedfor operation. Two older jack-up rigs left the fleet, leavingMaersk Drilling with one of the youngest and most modernfleet in the industry. Furthermore, the reconstructionof a drilling unit to combine both drilling and productionwas completed in 2008.During 2009 two deepwater semi-submersible drillingunits and one jack up drilling unit are to be delivered foroperation, while in 2010 one FPSO and one deepwatersemi-submersible drilling unit are to be delivered.Second corporate environmental report – 2008This report covering 2008 is the second annual environmentalreport for Maersk Drilling and Maersk FPSOs.The 2007 report covered Q3 and Q4 only.This 2008 report:• Highlights environmental performance data• Identifies areas where changes have taken place comparedto 2007 and• Identifies potential areas for improvementIndustry practiceAs general practice within the offshore drilling industry,the legal environmental requirements are divided betweencontractors and operators which to a great extentinfluences the way operation is conducted. Therefore,the environmental performance of Maersk Drilling andMaersk FPSOs is dependent on close cooperation withthe operators.Compliance with environmental regulations and requirementsare divided between contractual requirements andgeneral maritime environmental regulations.The general maritime regulations primarily focus on compliancewith the MARPOL Convention dealing with oilywater and sewage discharges, waste management andatmospheric emission control.In the North Sea, drilling and production related dischargesare regulated through the North East Atlantic OSPARConvention.Drilling or production related discharges to the marineenvironment take place in accordance with governmentlicensed discharge permits which are always owned bythe operator. As a general rule, fuel oil, drilling fluids andproduction chemicals are provided by the operator for aparticular operation, providing the contractor with thefoundation to comply with the discharge permit.Shipment of waste products to shore for final treatmentand disposal is managed in accordance with contractualrequirements stipulated by the operator in order to meetlocal landfill capacities and opportunities for recycling ofwaste products.
