Lancaster EPS Environmental Statement
Monday 13 March 2017
Hurricane proposes to begin production from its Lancaster field via an Early Production System (EPS), with first oil hopefully being achieved by mid-2019. In compliance with the legislative framework for the offshore industry and as part of Hurricane’s commitment to optimising environmental performance, a systematic environmental impact assessment (EIA) has been undertaken for the proposed development.
The EIA is a tool designed to ensure potential environmental issues and concerns are identified and addressed throughout the planning process. The results of the EIA process have been summarised in an environmental statement (ES).
