2003 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA4 Sampling analysis results - Hydrocarbons. ERT Report 920 R002 (north UKCS)
As part of the UK Department of Trade and Industry's (DTI's) ongoing sectorial Strategic Environmental Assessment a seabed survey program (SEA4) was undertaken in July/August 2002 for the UKCS areas to the North of Shetland from MV Kommandor Jack. This report summarises the sediment total hydrocarbon and aromatic data generated from the analyses of select samples from the main study areas.

Samples were collected (using Day grab, megacorer and gravity corer) during 24 July to 22 August 2002 from MV Kommandor Jack as part of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change's Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme. ERT (Scotland) Ltd were contracted by DTI via Geotek Ltd to assist in the retrieval and processing of physical/chemical seabed samples. Samples were analyses for total hydrocarbon and total n-alkane content using gas chromatography. The concentrations of n-alkanes present was determined by measuring the response of each component by GC using a flame ionisation detector.
