ASMAA
REPSOL SAYS ITS SAFE
A Repsol spokesperson stated to Portugal Newswatch:
One basic difference between gas and oil is that gas evaporates
and oil needs containment on water surfaces. In the event of a well
failure, gas spills are easier to control than oil spills, as the
gas is not retained in the seawater.
No water pollution is generated and the hydrocarbon bubbles into
the atmosphere until well control is achieved. In the Algarve, as
no hazardous gas is expected, a gas pollution case is an extremely
improbable situation.
Safe = protected from or not exposed to danger or risk; not
likely to be harmed or lost. Protected from harm/danger, shielded,
sheltered, guarded, defended, secure, safe and sound, out of harm's
way, all right. Not likely to cause or lead to harm or injury; not
involving danger or risk.
Somehow, I cant relate above explanation for "safe" with the
drilling industry, can you?

84 Million Euros Investment Quoting Negcios Online of 10
September 2012, in which Repsol Europe
Director Max Torres stated that Repsol would be investing 84
Million Dollars during the exploration phase in the Algarve
concessions.
At face value, this figure appears to be substantive, but what
Mr. Torres failed to state is how much of that investment would
benefit the Portuguese economy, the timeline of this investment,
how many jobs would be created in the Algarve or what would be the
economic benefit for the local communities here.
In addition, government representatives talk of figures that
range from 30 Million to 120 Million Euros. Now, which amount is
true?Sounds like the right hand not knowing what the left is doing
or is it pure disinformation?

Initiative "Valuing Oceans for Tomorrow" that the consortium which

to an as yet unspecified location and to pump the unrefined gas to
a refinerywhere the gas will be cleaned and depressurized for sale,
with the final product being linked to a gas distribution grid.
He further informed us that the exploration and completion

REPSOL WILL CONDUCT AN ESIA
8 Jan 2014 Algarve News Watch (Len Port)
A Repsol spokesman stated that an Environmental and safety
studies are being conducted to guarantee a clean and safe drilling
operation,.
Repsol does environmental and safety studies prior to any
operation, taking into account the social, economic and
environmental issues and following legislation and the highest
international standards in the industry. The company takes into
consideration such studies in the planning of the operations and
works closely with national and local authorities.
We await this report with interest. Especially due to the fact
that legally its not a pre-requirement under Portuguese law, which
was substantiated by the minister in 2012. But with the latest
developments in the EU and the publication of the latest EU
directive for oil and gas sector in the EU we can fully understand
why Repsol is now stating that they will be conducting a ESIA.

SAFETY
On 10 June 2013 the EU adopted a Directive on safety of offshore
oil and gas operations. The new rules (initially proposed to take
the form of a regulation) will make sure that the highest safety
standards will be followed at every oil and gas platform across
Europe.
It will also ensure that we react effectively and promptly
should an accident nevertheless occur. This would help minimise the
possible damage to the environment and the livelihoods of coastal
communities.
The new directive sets clear rules that cover the whole
lifecycle of all exploration and production activities from design
to the final removal of an oil or gas installation.
WHAT DOES THE EU SAY?
-
2014 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities Association All

ASMAA
OIL LICENSING
EU countries have to follow strict rules when issuing licenses
for searching for, drilling for and producing oil: the Hydrocarbons
Licensing Directive (94/22/EC) ensures a competitive,
non-discriminatory and transparent European market and improves the
security of supply.
Directive 94/22/EC of 30 May 1994 on the conditions for granting
and using authorisations for the prospection, exploration and
production of hydrocarbons
National governments can determine the geographical areas for
prospecting, exploring for and producing hydrocarbons.
However, they have to follow a specific procedure when granting
licences: an invitation for applications has to be published in the
Official Journal of the EU at least 90 days before the closing date
for applications. This notice should specify information such as
the geographical area, the type of authorisation and selection
criteria for applicants. All interested companies can submit
applications.
In their annual reports, EU countries have to inform the
European Commission (EC), amongst others, on the geographical areas
opened and the licences issued to companies.
WHAT DOES THE EU SAY?
-
2014 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities Association All
rights reserved.
ASMAA
LIABILITY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE
The Directive requires Member States to ensure that licensees
are financially liable for the prevention and remediation of
environmental damage, as defined under the Environmental Liability
Directive (ELD), caused by offshore oil and gas activities carried
out by, or on behalf of, the licensee or the operator.
This means that a licensee that is not the operator is still
liable under the ELD.
The Directive contains an amendment to the ELD under which the
ELD provisions dealing with water damage now also apply to the
marine waters of Member States. Consequently, liability under the
ELD has been extended.
The Directive does not contain any provisions on civil liability
on the part of licensees for loss or damage suffered by third
parties. However, in 2012 the European Commission ordered a study
into issues relating to such liability, so this topic may very well
be covered by EU legislation in the near future.
WHAT DOES THE EU SAY?
-
2014 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities Association All
rights reserved.
ASMAA
TRANSPARENCY AND INFORMATION SHARING
Under the Directive, Member States must ensure that operators
(or owners) provide the relevant competent authority with the
information described in Annex IX to the Directive.
This includes information relating to any unintended release of
oil or gas, any failure of a safety and environmental critical
element, any fatal accident, any evacuation of personnel,
helicopter accidents, etc. Member States are also required to make
such information publicly available.
When reporting the requisite information, operators and owners
must do so using a common data reporting format, to be drawn up by
the Commission. Member States must submit annual reports to the
Commission on offshore safety and environmental impact based on the
information provided by operators.

WHY IS IT A GAMBLE THAT PORTUGAL DOES NOT NEED TO TAKE?
1. The Government gave the green light to the Repsol and Partex
in 2012 without any public consultation, any disclosures or even
without the necessary EIAshaving been done.
ASMAA believes that this is a misguided gamble that we do not
need to take.
Oil and Gas exploration helps to keep us hooked on fossil fuels
instead of moving towards an energy system based on energy saving
and renewable sources;
Brings serious risks to the local environment, peoples health,
and will not cut energy bills or create jobs.

boating. A deep sea oil or gas disaster will invariably impact many
local businesses, organisations, and individuals who enjoy the
Algarves waters.

oil or gas drilling without adequate safety measures.

CLIMATE / CLIMA
1.The climate change impacts of fossil fuels are disastrous.
Portugal should be investing in clean energy solutions instead of
investing in extracting the last drops of oil from the ends of the
earth. We should be climate pioneers not fossil fools.

ASMAA
PORQU?
Porque preciso criar-se uma imagem renovada do mar e das
suascapacidades e potencialidades sendo no entanto um factor
indispensvel paraa sustentabilidade da economia de Portugal e
especialmente a regiao do Algarve.
Porque preciso educar todos sobre o impacto que o mar tem na
nossaeconomia todas as actividades directa e indirectamente
relacionadas com o mar, com as praias, os rios e com as zonas
costeiras.
Porque precisamos de contabilizar o turismo melhor com embarcaes
de recreio, desporto de competio, com as actividades de
mergulho,observao da natureza, com o surf, com o windsurf, o
parasailing, o kitesurf, restaurantes e snack-bars de alta
qualidade, atividades de praia, etc.
Porque ha alternativas para optimisar a nossa economia e reduzir
a nossadependencia em hidrocarbonetos. Petroleo e gas nao sao as
solucoes que o paiz precisa.
