1. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION
Mark Producing, Inc. plans to conduct exploration activities on Ship Shoal Block 203
and 220 (OCS-G 7755 and OCS-G 7756).
As proposed, the Plan of Exploration for Ship Shoal Blocks 203 and 220 consists of
drilling ten (10) wells.
A this time, planned commencement date for Well "A" and all associated activities
in the above blocks will begin on or about May I , 1986.
(a) TRAVEL MODES. ROUTES AND FREQUENCY
The proposed exploration activity for iederal leases OCS-G 7755 and
OCS-G 7756 will require the use of a jack-up rig to drill the exploratory
wells. The rig will be moved to Ship Shoal Blocks 203 and 220 from an
unknown location in the Gulf of Mexico.
In addition to the drilling rig, service boats will be used to transport
equipment, material, personnel and supplies to the drill sites. It is estimated
that the crew boat and supply boat will make daily round trips to the rig from
support bases located in Morgan City, Louisiana. The proposed travel route for
these vessels begins at Morgan City, Louisiana, and will move to Blocks 203
and 220 via the most direct route from Morgan City, Louisiana.
Helicopter flights to Ship Shoal Blocks 203 and 220 will average 10.5
round trips per week and will originate from and return to Morgan City,
Louisiana. The helicopters will normally take the most direct route of travel
between the two points when air traffic and weather conditions permit.
(b) SUPPORT BASE
The proposed activities will utilize a support base at Morgan City,
- 1 -
Louisiana. The base provides 24-hour service, a radio tower with phone patch,
deck space, offlce space, a parking lot, equipment and supply storage space,
drinking and drill water, etc. These proposed exploration activities will help to
maintain tnis base at its present levels of activity. No expansion of the
physical facilities or the creation of new jobs is expected to result from the
work planned in conjunction with Blocks 203 and 220.
(c) NEW SUPPORT FACILITIES
No new onshore support facilities such as new land bases, refineries,
storage facilities, pumping stations, boat docks, helicopter pads or fueling
facilities are likely to be required because of the activities planned for Blocks
203 and 220. Any newly discovered deposits of hydrocarbons should help to
maintain onshore facilities and activities at or near their present levels rather
than result in some type of expansion.
(d) NEW TECHNIQUES OR UNUSUAL TECHNOLOGY
No new techniques or unusual technology will be required for this
operation.
(e) MAPS OF PROPOSED ACTIVITY
As shown by the attached Vicinity Plat, the proposed activity is located
70 miles south from tho Louisiana shore.
(f) TRANSPORTATION OF OIL AND/OR GAS
If producible hydrocarbons are found they are likely to be transported to
shore through connections with the pipelines already in place near Blocks 203
and 220.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT
<a) PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
- 2 -
(1) Commercial Fishing
Ship Shoal Blocks 203 and 220 are located approximately 70 miles
from shore where the water depth is approximately 120 feet. Shrimp and
menhaden are the primary fishing resources found in this area.
The placement of a drilling rig on each Block will remove a portion
of the seafloor and waters above from harvesting by commercial
fisher es. Additionally, the waters adjacent to the drill sites may
become temporarily turbid due to drilling operations. These operations
should have no significant impact on commercial fisheries.
(2) Shipping
Ship Shoal Blocks 203 and 220 are clear of all fairways and
anchorage areas. Operations in this area will be in accordance with the
U.S. Coast Guard's regulations regarding navigation standards. There
should be little or no impact on shipping resulting from the proposed
operations.
(3) Recreation
The proposed activities, which are primarily confined to Ship Shoal
Blocks 203 and 220 are located approximately 70 miles south of the
Louisiana coast lin<.. Along the coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico off
Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, are located coastal beaches and ports
supporting pleasure boating and sport fishing. To protect these
recreational resources, Mark Producing, inc. will comply with OCS Order
No. 7 regarding pollution prevention and control, and has established an
Oil Spill Contingency Plan which was approved by the Minerals
Management Service. There are no adverse impacts expected as a result
of the proposed activities.
- 3 -
(4) Cultural Resources
Ship Shoal Blocks 203 and 220 lie Inside the Cultural Resource
Sensitivity Demarcation Line (USDI, 1979, Visual 1) and, therefore, falls
in an area where cultural resources are likely to be found. An
archeological survey was required for Ship Shoal Block} 203 and 220.
Mark Producing, Inc. agrees that if any site, structure, or object of
historical or archeological significance should bo discovered durirr
operations, the findings will be immediately reported to the Sups:
ami every reasonable effort will be made to preserve and prc-tdoi t*ie
cultural resource from damage until the Supervisor has g-
as to its preservation.
(5) Ecologically Sensitive Features
There are no known ecologically sensitive features located on Ship
Shoal Blocks 203 and 220. The closest sensitive feature is located along
the coastal shores of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The sensitive
features include the primary fish and shellfish nursery grounds, and the
recreational beaches.
With exception to the minimal boat and helicopter traffic, all
operations will be restricted to Ship Shoal Blocks 203 and 220. The
proposed activity will have no effect on any ecologically sensitive
features.
(6) Existing Pipelines and Cables
Texas Pipeline Company has a 20" oil line (OCS-G 3303) which
crosses the east line of Block 203 approximately 6700* from rhe northeast
corner and crosses the south line of Block 203 approximately 7100' from
the southeast comer. This same pipeline crosses the north line of Block
- 4 -
220 approximately 7100' from the northwest ou ., ••• anJ crosses the west
Une of Block 220 approximately '0* from the southwest corner.
(7) Other Mineral Uses
The activities proposed for Ship Shoal Blocks 203 and 220 will have
no direct or indirect impact on other mi -al uses.
(8) Ocean Dumping
Ocean dumping is prohibited in this area.
(9) Endangered or Threatened Species
Msrk Producing, Inc.'s proposed operations at Snip Shoal Blocks 203
and 220 are located approximately 70 miles south of the Louisiana
coastline off Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, n<«.••><• coastal chores and
upland areas are the habitat of several endangeruo or threatened
species. These species include the Arctic peregrine falcon, the red-
eockaded woodpecker, the bald eagle, the American Alligator, the red
wolf, Kemp's ridley sea turtle. These species may be affected by the
development of coastal lands and/or the occurrence of oil spills which
may affect the species directly cr through their food sources. Since the
proposed activities include no plans for the development of coastal lands,
the impact on endangered or threatened species is primarily based on the
occurrence of oil spills.
On pages III-5 through DJ-72 of the Final Environmental Impact
Statement for OCS Sale No. 47 there is a disenssi- .i of the factors for
estimating the significance of oil spills and their impacts. The impacts
on various endangered and threatened species will depend on the natuir
ot the spill, weather conditions, proximity of spill to species, tolerance
for oil of species, and the response time and effectiveness of the oil spill
cleanup and containment services. Given these variables, the impact on
- 5-
the various endangered and threatened species will vary from little or no
effect to serious.
The expsi'ience of oil and gas exploration in the Gulf of Mexico
indicates that there is a small probability of occurrence of an oil spill.
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for OCS Sale No. A-
62 and 62 indicates on page 71 that the naggregrate 15 year spill rate is
.0009 percent of the total volume produced." Table 7, page 73, of the
DEIS indicated that there have been only 30 incidents of oil spills for this
15 year period. The probability remains low because of the level of
technology used by the oil and gas industry to insure safe and responsible
operations. Mark Producing, Inc. as a prudent operator will take the
necessary measures to reduce the probability of oil spills. Mark
Producing, Inc.'s proposed operations at Ship Shoal Blocks 203 and 220
should pose no threat to any endangered or threatened species,
(b) SOCIO-ECONOMIC
(1) Related New Employment
Not applicable at this time.
3. UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE IMPACTS
The proposed drilling activity in Ship Shoal Blocks 203 and 220 will result in
the discharge of drilling mud and cuttings into the waters of the Gulf. The discharge
of rYill cuttings will bury sessile benthic organisms in local areas under the
discharge. The disposal of mud may result in a minor decrease in primary
productivity due to the mortality or functional impairment of phytoplankton and
algae in area of high turbidity. A large oil spill is very unlikely but could result in
localized severe mortalities, and severe selective and functional impairment of
- 6 -
phytoplankton communities, thereby altering the community structure for an
unknown period of time. These impacts are considered temporary and minor.
Air emissions from combustion of diesel fuel in rig engines, boat engines and
helicopters can affect the air quality near the mobile offshore jackup drilling rig and
near the onshore travel routes. In most cases, these emissions will be local in nature
and will be quickly dissipated by climatic conditions. Highly volatile, low molecular
weight hydrocarbons would be released into the atmosphere from a blowout with
release of natural gas. These hydrocarbons would undergo some unknown degree of
degradation, possibly resulting in photochemical smog. If a blowout resulted in a
fire, large amounts of particulate carbon and oxides of carbon, along with smaller
but unkown amounts of sulphur oxides, volatile hydrocarbons and partially oxidized
compounds would enter the air. Local air would be severely degraded for the
duration of the fire. The extent of degradation is indeterminate, but it is unlikely
that it would be high enough to affect land resources or human health.
These exploratory activities are not expected to harmfully affect water
quality cr interfere with commercial fishing operations, recreational activities or
shipping traffic.
