Abstract

Water column samples for trace metal and nutrient analysis were collected in the vicinity of the Hibernia offshore oil and gas platform on CCGS Hudson cruises in July 2005 and June 2006 as part of an investigation of chemical tracers of produced water discharges. Measurements of metals and nutrients in two produced water samples from the Hibernia platform show that produced water concentrations for SiO2, NH3, Ba, Fe and Mn are >100 times those in seawater. The concentrations of dissolved Fe and Mn increase with depth in the waters outside the platform’s exclusion zone, with highest concentrations in deep water samples immediately south and west of the platform. Particulate Ba, Fe and Mn are elevated compared to Al in a number of the deep and bottom water samples located in the vicinity of the platform in 2005 and 2006. Elevated concentrations of SiO2, NH3, Fe and Mn were also found within 150 m of the platform at 10 m depth in 2005.
