2001 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA1 Environmental Survey 2000 - Sample analysis data report: hydrocarbons, total organic carbon/nitrogen (Faroe Shetland Channel)

Sediment samples were collected during the Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA1 (White Zone) Environmental Survey in 2000 at the request of the Department of Trade and Industry (now Department of Energy and Climate Change). This data report collates all the results generated by Gardline Survey Limited. The analysis undertaken on the sediment samples were: total organic carbon and total organic nitrogen; total hydrocarbon and n-alkane content and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) content.

Data Quality

Sediment samples were collected during 2000 as part of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change's Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme. Analyses of the sediment samples were carried out by Gardline Surveys Limited, which resulted in the publication of this report in 2001. The analysis undertaken on the sediment samples were: total organic carbon and total organic nitrogen; total hydrocarbon and n-alkane content by gas chromatography (GC); and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) content by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
