It is intended to provide a summary of the Project activities, the issues considered in the ESIA and the main conclusions on environmental and socio-economic impacts. Detailed technical description of modelling studies, proposed mitigation measures and monitoring activities are presented in the main sections of the ESIA. E.1 Introduction This ESIA has been prepared to identify and assess the potential impacts associated with the drilling activities for the SAX01 exploration well. The indicative location of the Project exploration well is shown in Figure E.1. Figure E.1 Shafag-Asiman Contract area and Proposed SAX01 Exploration Well Location E.2 Overview of the Shafag-Asiman Exploration Drilling Project In 1995 and 1999, 2D seismic surveys were undertaken in Shafag-Asiman Contract Area, followed by a 3D seismic survey in 2012. The seismic, and subsequent geohazard and bathymetry survey results were used to inform the decision making process regarding the exact exploration drilling location. The Shafag-Asiman Contract Area lies approximately 125 km to the south-east of Baku in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea, with water depth at SAX01 approximately 624 m. Drilling is expected to commence in Quarter (Q) 4 of 2019 over a period of approximately 440 days. Once drilled it is anticipated the well will be suspended and well testing will be undertaken following a break of between 1 and 3 years due to availability of the well testing rig. As the well test activities are not sufficiently defined at this time they are not included within the Project Base Case and will be considered in a separate permission document to be submitted to the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources (MENR) at a later date if it is confirmed that well testing is to be undertaken (based on well logging results). October 2019 i Final Shafag-Asiman Exploration Drilling Project Environmental & Socio-Economic Impact Assessment NTS It is anticipated that the proposed Project exploration well will be drilled using the Heydar Aliyev Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU). MODU activities during the Project exploration drilling programme include: • Preparation of the drilling equipment; • Drilling of conductor, upper surface and lower well hole section; • Installing wellhead and cementing casings; • Well suspension and temporary well abandonment; • Re-entry and well testing1; and • Well plug and abandonment. E.3 Alternatives Assessed A number of alternatives have been evaluated during the project development to inform the base case design, taking into account technical, economic, safety and environmental considerations in addition to lessons learned from BP’s extensive experience in exploration well drilling in the Caspian Sea. The proposed Project well location has been selected as having the most promising potential for hydrocarbon discovery following analysis of the 3D seismic data acquired in the Shafag-Asiman Contract Area in 2012. The evaluation of surface, near surface and subsurface hazards to drilling have been considered during the selection of the proposed well location. Alternative locations were therefore discounted as they would not achieve the Project objectives, while possibly leading to a higher risk of experiencing operational problems during drilling. Drilling fluid selection considered two main types of fluids typically used for offshore drilling are water based mud (WBM) and non-water based mud (NWBM). From a technical perspective within the Caspian Sea, WBMs are typically used to drill the top sections of wells, with NWBM more suitable for the lower hole sections. To support the decision for the handling and disposal of WBM and NWBM and cuttings from drilling operations when drilling of wells was initially being planned by BP for the Azeri Chirag Gunashli (ACG) Contract Area a Best Practicable Environmental Option (BPEO) assessment was undertaken. The assessment concluded that the BPEO was that NWBM and cuttings should shipped to shore for disposal, while WBM and cuttings, which meet the relevant project standards, could be discharged to the marine environment. This conclusion was based on the expected low levels of environmental toxicity of the chemicals in the WBM and the localised impact of solids deposition, which will occur near to the discharge point. E.4 Assessment Methodology The ESIA has been conducted in accordance with the legal requirements of Azerbaijan. The ESIA process (illustrated in Figure E.2) constitutes a systematic approach to the evaluation of a project and its associated activities throughout the project lifecycle. The overall aim of the ESIA process is to identify, reduce and effectively manage potential negative environmental and socio-economic impacts arising from the Project activities. 1 Well test activities are not sufficiently defined at this time, are not included within the Project Base Case and will be considered in a separate permission document to be submitted to the MENR at a later date if it is confirmed that well testing is to be undertaken, which will be based on the well logging results. October 2019 ii Final Shafag-Asiman Exploration Drilling Project Environmental & Socio-Economic Impact Assessment NTS Figure E.2 The ESIA Process Assessment of the Project environmental and socio-economic impacts has been undertaken based on identified routine activities and accidental events that have the potential to interact with the environment. The impact significance considers receptor sensitivity and the magnitude of the impact and takes into account existing control measures embedded in the project design. E.5 Policy, Regulatory and Administrative Framework The Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) to jointly explore and develop potential prospects in the Shafag-Asiman Contract Area was signed between BP and the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) in October 2010. The assessment has also included examination of how agreements, legislation, standards and guidelines apply to the Project. The detailed legal regime for the joint development and production sharing of the Shafag-Asiman Contract Area is set out within the PSA. The PSA states that the “Contractor shall conduct the Petroleum Operations in a diligent, safe and efficient manner in accordance with the Environmental Standards and shall take all reasonable actions October 2019 iii Final Shafag-Asiman Exploration Drilling Project Environmental & Socio-Economic Impact Assessment NTS in accordance with the Environmental Standards to minimise any potential disturbance to the general environment, including without limitation the surface, subsurface, sea, air, lakes, rivers, animal life, plant life, crops and other natural resources and property”. The Project also takes account of a wide range of international and regional environmental conventions and commits to comply with the intent of current national legal requirements where those requirements are consistent with the provisions of the PSA, and do not contradict, or are otherwise incompatible with, international petroleum industry standards and practice. The Project will also adhere to the framework of environmental and social standards within the ESIA approved by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources (MENR). The PSA also makes reference to international petroleum industry standards and practices with which the Project will comply.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

    28 Chapter 4 PROCESSING, MARKETING AND TRADING OF FISH AND FISH PRODUCTS Fish processing According to data from the Fisheries Committee, 49 enterprises in 2005 were involved in fi sh processing, and rose to 57 in 2006. Currently, fi sh processing and storage is completely controlled by the private sector (irrespective of geographical location). Fish processing enterprises can be divided into two groups: (i) older enterprises that have “inherited” equipment from Soviet times through privatization (e.g. Atyraubalyk, Balkhashbalyk and Zaisanbalyk); and (ii) new enterprises that have started their activities since the middle of the 1990s and that principally focus on the processing of zander fi llets; enterprises include Ulkenbalyk Ltd Co., Rybprom Ltd Co. and Karatalbalyk Ltd Co. These latter companies are noted for introducing new technologies in their operations – principally, skinning machines for removing the head and the fi lleting of zander – although the fi llet at present is cut and packed manually. The majority of fi sh processing plants are not HACCP or ISO certifi ed, but developments in this area are being made under pressure of the export markets. The Fisheries Committee suggests total investment in the fi sh processing sector amounted to US$195 000 in 2006. However, as many companies have increased their capacity in recent years, and the cost of an Individual Quick Frozen (IQF) freezer is around US$95 000, the real level of investment in the subsector is likely to be much higher, especially as private investment data are not included in the offi cial statistics. All the equipment is imported from either China or the Russian Federation.

  • Environmental Change and Its Impact on the Freshwater Fishes of Iran
    Biological Conservation 19 (1980 81) 51 80 ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND ITS IMPACT ON THE FRESHWATER FISHES OF IRAN BRIAN W. COAD't" Department of Biology, Pahlavi University, Shiraz, Iran ABSTRACT Factors affecting the distribution and abundance of,freshwater fishes in lran are described. These include climate, devegetation, irrigation, and natural water level fluctuations (termed pre-industrial) and such factors related to industrialisation and population increase as devegetation, water abstraction,fishing, pollution, andJaunal introductions. Conservation schemes are outlined and commented on and a list ~[ threatened fishes is given. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to describe those factors, both man-made and natural, which affect the distribution and abundance of Iranian freshwater fishes and to record and suggest measures for the conservation of this fauna. Fishes, particularly those of no economic value, do not receive the amount of attention from conservationists as do birds and mammals since they are not as readily observed and perhaps have less aesthetic appeal. The amateur ichthyologist is a rarity compared with the amateur ornithologist and mammalogist. A responsibility therefore lies with the professional ichthyologist to write about rare and endangered fishes. This is particularly true in a country like lran which is rapidly becoming industrialised, with consequent dangers to the fauna, and which in addition lacks an extended tradition of concerned amateur naturalists (Scott et al.. 1975) and where there have been few studies on fish ecology. Factors affecting distribution and abundance of fishes can therefore only be outlined in general terms 3 Present address: Ichthyology Section, National Museum of Natural Sciences, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada KIA OM8.
