Oil and gas are essential parts of a sustainable future. Though these are finite energy resources and sources of greenhouse gas emissions, the world continues to require their production. For this reason, it is imperative that we consider improved industry practices.
To begin, the audience will be presented with the most basic principles of sustainability pertaining to oil and gas operations, including SPE’s position on this matter. When oil is discovered at a location, decisions and guarantees cannot be made without considering the project’s life cycle. Our commitments must be demonstrated consistently along each stage of a project in direct consideration of a sustainable future.
Next, several case studies relating to sustainability, integrating the realities of the social license to operate and operations will be presented to the audience, detailing the required steps for the successful execution of any project facing challenging conditions.
The presentation will conclude by underlining that the inclusion of internal and external stakeholders will only enrich the project and, therefore, pave the road to success. It is our responsibility to create a culture of operational professionalism and reliability through active participation. In order to counterbalance the world’s energy demand, we must produce oil and gas while considering that the more efficiently the energy is produced, the more affordable the energy will be. The oil industry is not only committed to its own sustainability but also to the sustainability of our planet.
This document summarizes a presentation about the 2022 Murray River flooding event.

Impacts included inundated roads and properties, debris in waterways, and economic impacts on agriculture and tourism. Safety concerns were addressed for emergency personnel working long hours in challenging conditions.
Effective engagement with indigenous communities for Coastal CountryNeil Dufty
‘Country is the places from which Ancestors originated and still exist within as life forces. Country cannot be owned or tamed, as Country is also a relationship that must be honoured and nurtured’ (Hromek, 2020).
An effective approach to indigenous engagement encourages all working in coastal management ‘to develop their own understanding of and relationship to Country and those First Peoples who relate to it’ (Hromek, 2020). It firstly involves understanding the complexities of First Peoples in an area and asking each community if and how they wished to be engaged regarding Coastal Country. Listening, learning and respect are critical parts of the engagement process.
Lived experiences, corporeal activities and engaging the senses is a way of approaching Country (O’Brien, 2011). Where possible, Coastal Country should be interpreted and discussed in the field with First Peoples. ‘It is the right of Knowledge Holders to hear and read Country, and it is not appropriate for others to do so unless given the appropriate training, guidance and authority by Custodians’ (Hromek, 2020).
Based on these principles, this paper outlines the engagement with representatives from the Coffs Harbour and District Local Aboriginal Land Council, and Gumbaynggirr Cultural Knowledge Holders (including the Garby Elders) to inform the Woolgoolga Region Estuaries Coastal Management Program (CMP) Stages 2-4. As a result of the ongoing engagement, six CMP actions were identified for First Peoples to help manage Coastal Country of the area which includes the Solitary Islands Marine Park.

On September 24, 2021, ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar titled 'An evidence-based approach for Coastal Flood Risk Assessments', led by Nicky Hastings, Project Lead for the National Scale Geohazard Risk project within the Public Safety Geoscience Program at Natural Resources Canada
Canada has the longest coastline globally, approximately 243,000 kilometres of diverse geographies and geomorphologies, including fiords, arctic tundra, river delta's, bluffs and sandy or rocky beaches. The impacts of coastal flooding, tsunamis and related hazards vary across these landscapes. Approximately 6,570,000 people live in communities along Canada's coast. Many of them depend on the ocean to make their living in fisheries, shipping or other related industries. Our work applies science and technology (S&T) to advance operational capabilities, assess and model coastal hazards and risks at various scales across Canada. These assessments can better inform decisions that will reduce current and future risks and help communities adapt to a changing climate to become more resilient to these hazards. This presentation provides insights into a three-year collaborative project that brings together researchers and practitioners to work, share, demonstrate, provide guidance and integrate coastal flood models across Canada. These models are used to inform risk reduction decisions build resilience, support return on investment evaluations and buy-in for disaster risk reduction.

Severn Estuary Partnership Activities (Paul Parker)
Set up in 1995, the Severn Estuary Partnership is an independent, estuary-wide initiative led by
local authorities and statutory agencies. The Partnership works with all those involved in the
management of the estuary; from planners to port authorities, fishermen to farmers and many
more. This presentation will briefly outline the work of the Partnership and its development and
achievements over the past 12 months.
The Partnership approach & assessing the benefits of catchment management. 12th & 13th September 2016 at the Rougemont Hotel, Exeter. Following the decision to leave the EU the need to come together to tackle the complex environmental problems we face such as diffuse pollution and habitat fragmentation has never been greater. This conference sets out the benefits and drawbacks of partnership working and the effectiveness of dealing with problems at a catchment scale.
Keynote presentation at the Houting project - Martin janesRESTORE
The document discusses the RESTORE project, which aims to communicate best practices in river restoration across Europe. It seeks to do this through capacity building events, developing resources like a project website and best practice database, and strengthening networks of restoration practitioners. The goal is to support better river restoration implementation based on scientific evidence and joined-up policy approaches.
The document summarizes the work of the Remedial Action Plan (RAP) team for Thunder Bay and Nipigon Bay in Lake Superior. The RAP works to restore and protect Lake Superior by addressing environmental impairments like contaminated sediment. It consists of representatives from various government agencies and universities. It aims to raise public awareness, ensure communication between stakeholders, and implement restoration projects through cooperation with other organizations. Key areas of focus have included remediating mercury contamination near shipyards and mills. The RAP's work is financially supported by government organizations and aims to continue addressing remaining problems in the future.

Resilient areas - Implementing NFM 'Catching the silt and holding up the water'CaBASupport
The document discusses land management solutions from the Trent Rivers Trust to reduce flood risk, improve water quality, and provide wetland habitat. These solutions include silt traps to catch silt, leaky dams to hold up water, field storage areas, re-profiling land, and woodland planting. The Trent Rivers Trust implements these solutions as part of its Willow Brook Catchment Project.
The community of Southwell in Nottinghamshire has experienced two major flood events in 2007 and 2013 that damaged over 300 homes. In response, local residents came together to form the Southwell Flood Forum to make the community more resilient to future flooding. The Forum has undertaken extensive volunteer work clearing waterways, established fundraising events raising over £22k, and created a community resilience plan with over 60 trained flood wardens. While continued challenges remain around maintaining engagement and mitigating complex flood risks, the Forum looks forward to partnering with other organizations to further strengthen Southwell's resilience.
CC2150 is a project that helps coastal communities in Kent County develop long-term visions and action plans to increase resilience to climate change impacts. The project identifies priority communities and works with local partners to build knowledge of climate risks, widen community engagement, and develop community-led visions and plans. Engagement is guided by principles of sustainability, community identity, evidence-based decisions, transparency, and local networks. A range of engagement methods, including workshops, events, and online platforms, facilitated the collection of over 3,000 pieces of feedback from over 800 engaged community members. The project has resulted in 3 visions and 11 action plans identifying 133 local actions, and provided £15k in grants to fund initial actions.
Natural flood management: Interventions of the futureCaBASupport
The document discusses natural flood management interventions that will be funded and implemented in the future. £15 million in funding was announced to integrate natural flood management techniques into catchment-scale projects and community-led projects. The goals are to reduce flood and coastal erosion risks, improve habitats and biodiversity, contribute to research to address evidence gaps, and promote partnership working. Challenges include properly appraising, evaluating, and monitoring the interventions over time to understand their effectiveness.

Using natural processes to reduce flood risk; experiences from Trent Rivers T...CaBASupport
The document discusses working with natural processes (WWNP) to reduce flood risk. WWNP involves managing land and rivers to slow rainfall runoff through techniques like increasing soil porosity, narrowing channels, and creating water storage. It provides flood mitigation while improving habitats. Case studies from Trent Rivers Trust demonstrate successful WWNP projects. The Trust finds WWNP interesting because it works at multiple scales, uses nature-based solutions, and partners with communities and landowners. Careful planning, maintenance considerations, and evaluating projects are important for WWNP success.
Flood proofing the future; the role of communitiesCaBASupport
National Flood Action is a charity that supports communities at risk of flooding. It helps communities come together to take control of flooding risks through various initiatives. The charity works in two stages: first bringing the community together, then partnering with communities on projects like natural flood management, developing resilience plans, and testing programs to reduce flood disadvantages. The goal is to end the fear of flooding by empowering communities to find solutions.

Next generation FCRM: opportunities for community involvement in reducing flood risk. Oliver Harmer discusses the scale of flooding challenges in England and roles in flood and coastal risk management. He outlines the journey so far including early natural flood management schemes from 10 years ago and being evidence-led. Looking forward, Harmer indicates there will be £15 million invested in natural flood management from 2021 to 2027, allowing greater community involvement in reducing flood risks.
United Utilities Integrated Drainage Area Strategies (IDAS) – Addressing wate...CaBASupport
This document discusses United Utilities' Integrated Drainage Area Strategies (IDAS) approach. IDAS takes a holistic, risk-based view of drainage issues across catchment areas in order to develop sustainable, long-term plans to reduce flood risk and improve water quality and asset resilience. The approach involves stakeholder engagement, modeling, and identifying opportunities for solutions such as reducing surface water in combined sewers and increasing natural flood management. United Utilities has completed initial risk assessments across 20 pilot catchment areas and aims to publish integrated drainage plans and identify partnership opportunities to develop collaborative solutions.
Partnership working: Time, Trust and Two-way communication. CaBASupport
The document discusses partnership working between flood authorities and communities. It emphasizes that engagement requires time to build trust and two-way communication. Effective partnership working involves listening to community experiences and knowledge, rather than assuming authority knowledge is most important. Engagement is best achieved through facilitation that brings all stakeholders together as equals to understand flooding holistically and develop long-term solutions.
The document discusses opportunities for catchment partnerships under the PR19 regulatory framework for water companies in the UK. It notes that PR19 provides unprecedented opportunities for ambitious catchment management due to drivers from regulators, customers, government, and partnerships. Specifically, it outlines opportunities around outcomes and performance commitments related to protecting the natural environment, as well as focus areas like resilience, innovation, long-term planning, customer participation, and generating multiple benefits. It advises catchment partnerships to understand the motivations of key players like Ofwat and customers, know the intervention points to influence business plans and goals, and aim high in their ambitions.
The document discusses several key challenges and opportunities for the UK water industry in its planning for PR19. It outlines the priorities of securing long-term resilience and protecting customers as advised by the government. It also mentions several important upcoming consultations and releases that will provide guidance, including Ofwat's PR19 methodology, strategic policy statements, and the water industry national environment programme. Finally, it encourages water companies to maximize opportunities through collaboration, partnerships, catchment-based approaches, and long-term, innovative thinking.
The document discusses six areas where water company interests align with catchment-based approaches (CaBAs):
1) Sewer capacity and combined sewer overflows, where natural flood management measures could help reduce peak runoff and sewer flooding. Engineering models and sewershed data are available to identify priority locations.
2) Nitrate in groundwater, where land management practices could help reduce levels. Tools such as safeguard zones, nutrient budgets, and groundwater monitoring data are referenced.
3) Pesticides in surface water, where catchment management focusing on reducing usage amounts and better timing could help lower costs of water treatment. Usage surveys and local knowledge are most relevant.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Partnership Aims
• Develop a Partnership
– A strong, strategic, influential partnership
invested in long term environmental and
economic enhancement of the iconic estuary
• Estuary Enhancements
– Ecological and biodiversity improvements, meeting WFD* objectives and
environmental net gain. Such as bank softening of estuary edges to reduce
silting, pollution and improve water quality
• Wider Benefits
– Realising multiple wider benefits that joined up action can achieve. Such as
natural capital gains, health and wellbeing improvements, education, social,
cultural and heritage benefits.
*Water Framework Directive - DEFRA commitment
requiring all rivers to achieve good water quality status by
2027.
Royal Quays Marina, North
Tyneside
86. Partnership Pledge• The Tyne Estuary Partnership (TEP) now consists over 60 strategic organisation that aspire
for long term environmental and economic enhancement of the River Tyne
• The TEP responds to the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan; to create connections
between existing initiatives and real practical actions
• It has a bold vision for developing a healthy and vibrant river estuary and the pledge
acknowledges that change cannot be achieved by a few regulatory tweaks, or any single
organisation. Solutions are multi-sector and highly interconnected
• This Pledge builds on the work of the existing River Catchment partnerships declaration
and the TEP Feasibility Study Report which can be found on the Partnership website
• All organisations with a vested interest in the Tyne Estuary can sign the Pledge.
87. Types of Enhancement
Bank Re-Profiling
• Using existing structures,
e.g. disused timber jetties
• New retaining structures
• Flood relief & habitat
creation
88. Types of Enhancement
Greening of Estuary
• Use of floating pontoons
• Soft edges
• Platforms, islands & rafts
• Providing habitat
• Aesthetically pleasing
89. Types of Enhancement
Species Enhancements
• Fish Refuge / Egg-laying
• Bird roosting rafts
• kittiwake towers
• Otter habitats
• Mussel and oyster reefs

Delivering the Partnership
Partnership Development - meeting our stakeholders
Feasibility study, licencing, design and build requirements
Trial sites delivered over next 2 years
Monitoring to assess impact and value for money
Development of funding bids to facilitate further interventions and to
deliver wider benefits
Keep in touch with one another: complement and add-value
98. Summary
• Multiple ‘greening’ opportunities along the Tyne
• Options can be grouped into a Typology covering:
– Engineered vertical hard structures such as quays
– Banks with differing composition and habitat
– Areas of derelict wet dock
– Natural banks
• Scale of application wide ranging – opportunities & costs

Wear Estuary Study
Aims and Objectives
• Wear Estuary is classed as Moderate and heading for Poor
• Detailed study and a new Wear Estuary Partnership
• Priority ecological enhancements improve the Estuary
• Partnership formation
• Report will help move the Wear Estuary towards “Good
Ecological Potential” by 2027
111. Minimum effort/risk/reward
Might be a meeting, a regular call
or a simple exchange of data
Very little time spent together
e.g. agreeing to share data you
have about a common issue such
as litter survey data
112. Increasing effort/risk/reward
This could be a dedicated meeting or
call to discuss a particular issue.
Spending more time together
e.g. From our exchange of data, we’ve
noticed a gap in knowledge. Parties
agree to contact people in their
network to find data and agree to
share it.
113. Deepening relationships
This could be a series of dedicated
meetings or calls actions to deliver
key elements to co-deliver something
of common interest.
Spending regular dedicated time
together.
E.g. Now we’ve plugged the gap in
data, we need to convert this into a
GIS so we can interrogate it. We
agree to share existing resources to
do this together and share findings.
114. Maximum effort/risk/reward
This is where we enter the zone of co
design and could include co-location e.g.
working together in the same office for
slots of time regularly to work out
something gritty and understand each
others resources and resource needs.
Investing larger, regular time together to
realise an ambition.
E.g. Now we have our GIS, we can see
where the real gaps are. We agree to co-
create and co-deliver to get the info we
need including funding bids.
