Worldwide, marine exploration, production, development and decommissioning operations are conducted from a variety of structures. These installations must be inspected periodically and maintained in order to assure structural integrity and minimize pollution risks.

The purpose of this publication is to establish practices and procedures that should be followed to minimize the discharge of spent blast abrasive, and paint overspray to the surrounding waters during these activities.
