Discharged water quality (a)

  Unit 2016 2015 2014
Hydrocarbon content of offshore water discharges mg/l 17.2 19.4 19.3
% of sites that meet the target for the quality of offshore discharges (30 mg/l) % 100 (B) 100 (B) 100 (B)
Hydrocarbon content of onshore water discharges mg/l 3.2 3.7 3.3
% of sites that meet the target for the quality of onshore discharges (15 mg/l) % 100 97 98

 

(A) In the scope of Exploration & Production and Refining & Chemicals. The “hydrocarbons in water discharges” in tons indicator, which was used until 2015, has been replaced by the above indicators, in line with the Group’s objectives.
(B) Alwynn site (United Kingdom) excluded, as its produced water discharges are discontinuous, only occur during the maintenance periods of the water reinjection system and are subject to a specific regulatory authorization.

 

Waste

  Unit 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012
[+] Hazardous waste treated offsite kt 187 202 223 232 237
Total waste treated kt 546 634 687 559 646
Waste recycled and/or valorized % 58 55 56 44 47
Landfill % 18 14 20 23 20
Other (incineration, biotreatment, etc) % 24 31 24 33 33

 

Loss of containment

  Unit 2016 2015 2014 2013
Loss of primary containment (Tier 1) (A) Nb 38 51 39  66
Loss of containment (Tier 2) (A) Nb 101 111 129

 

(A) Excluding acts of sabotage and theft.

 

accidental hydrocarbon spills

  Unit 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012
[+] Oil Spills in number (A) Nb 73 128 129 169 219
[+] Oil Spills in volume (A) thousand m3 0.9 1.4 1.3 1.8 2.0

 

(A) Accidental spills with an environmental impact and of more than one barrel.

 

Oil spill preparedness

  Unit 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012
[+] Number of sites whose risk analysis identified at least one scenario of major accidental pollution to surface water Nb 141 167 155 150 171
[+] Proportion of those sites with an operational oil spill contingency plan % 99 98 90 87 94
[+] Proportion of those sites having performed at least one anti-pollution exercice during the year % 89 (A) 98 82 82 88

 

(A) Decrease in 2016 compared to 2015 corresponds mainly to three affiliates which postponed their exercices to 2017.

 

[+] Audited indicators that obtained a moderate level of assurance from Ernst & Young Certification.
From 2011, environmental data reflect the current scope of reporting, so that any differences are attributable in part to changes in scope. Upstream (E&P+G&P+Holding) Downstream (M&S+EN)
