Abstract

Active oil and gas development on the continental shelf negatively affects marine organisms, degrading their habitat and reducing their viability. The effects of drilling fluids, cuttings, and their components on various marine organisms have been analyzed. The feasibility of using marine organisms as indicators of the ecological status of coastal waters at sites of intensive oil and gas extraction are discussed. The prospects of using natural substitutes for toxic components in drilling fluids to mitigate environmental risks are assessed.
