Tencer, B

As the key document in a three-volume study, Volume II details methodologies for assessing the onshore implications of outer continental shelf (OCS) oil and gas exploration, development/production, and well workover. Chapters are based on six major elements: industry requirements--a means for estimating the material, job, salary, transportation, onshore facility, capital cost, and environmental demands associated with offshore development activities; location analysis--a framework for identifying the probable spectral distribution of specified onshore support activities; and economic, fiscal, demographic, and environmental impact assessments--methodologies for developing baseline projections and impact assessments of specified onshore industry requirements. A wide range of methodology options are incorporated in the impact assessment chapters. The options are responsive to factors such as the availability of skills, time, and effort; availability and quality of data inputs; and level of desired accuracy.
