North Sea Interactive meets all NERC's oil and gas catalyst programme criteria. It has been developed in close consultation with Oil & Gas UK and designed to feed into the Scottish Government's Marine Planning Interactive management tool, itself a valuable resource for the offshore industry. North Sea Interactive translates NERC environmental science from the British Geological Survey (BGS, surficial geology) and National Oceanography Centre (NOC, modelled hydrography) into a new Geographic Information System tool that incorporates the 40-year industry archive of benthic biology in the North Sea Benthos database (Oil & Gas UK/Heriot-Watt University, HWU). North Sea Interactive transfers people from NERC's research base through a series of consultations and secondments with Oil & Gas UK and the Scottish Government. These secondments allow us to develop North Sea Interactive as a practical tool, becoming a valuable Case Study for future development and extension to new exploration and production areas. North Sea Interactive will catalyse new ideas and Joint Industry Projects (JIPs), from extensions that catalyst projects which include important additional biogeochemical parameters (e.g. pH, highly relevant to cuttings pile stability), through to using the North Sea Interactive approach in new areas such as the Atlantic Margins west of the UK.North Sea Interactive relies on the long history and close working relationships between its partners and the oil industry. HWU has worked with the offshore industry since the early 1970s. The HWU team has over 60 years combined experience of oil industry projects representing a unique collective experience of compiling and assessing benthic biological data for the oil and gas industry. The University has a strong working relationship with industry evident not only from its Institute of Petroleum Engineering (JIPs income £4.5m pa; JIPs lasting up to 12yrs), but also from the success of its oil industry-related spin-out companies (e.g. Epistemy, Hydrafact, Hydrason, Petroc Technologies, SeeByte). The BGS has an unrivalled position as a valued source of geoscience and regional geological information for the oil industry. Relationships vary from one-off contracts with individual operators to large, long-terms JIPs such as the 1995-2006 Western Frontiers Association (15 companies, £2.7m industry funding) and the 1992-2010 Rockall Consortium (14 companies, £7.34M industry funding). BGS success in such JIPs has catalysed partnerships with international academic consortia, such as the EC STRATAGEM and COSTA programmes.By providing a single tool that integrates NERC and oil industry environmental data, North Sea Interactive will assist operators in achieving best practicable environmental options (BPEO) for future oil field development, decommissioning options and post-decommissioning monitoring. It is designed to ensure ready access to high-quality NERC environmental data alongside industry datasets so helping companies meet their obligations (e.g. under the OSPAR Commission's national obligations to the 2010-14 Joint Assessment Monitoring Programme and the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive). It provides a model for future JIPs to integrate academic and industry data notably along the Atlantic Margins where there are knowledge gaps in understanding of deep-water ecosystems and vulnerabilities to oil and gas activities. By creating what we believe will become one of the densest shelf seas datasets integrating biological, geological and hydrodynamic information from industry and academia, we believe North Sea Interactive will become a catalyst for many new ideas and initiatives. As well as future enhancements (e.g. biogeochemical data layers) and expansions (e.g. Atlantic Margin), these include interfacing with regional habitat mapping (e.g. MAREMAP), providing base layers to the renewables industry and raft of potential JIPs notably around environmental monitoring and decommissionin

North Sea Interactive 符合 NERC 的所有石油和天然气催化剂计划标准。它是与英国石油和天然气公司密切协商开发的，旨在纳入苏格兰政府的海洋规划互动管理工具，该工具本身就是北海海上工业的宝贵资源。 Interactive 将英国地质调查局（BGS，地表地质学）和国家海洋学中心（NOC，模拟水文学）的 NERC 环境科学转化为新的地理信息系统工具，该工具将 40 年的底栖生物学行业档案纳入其中北海底栖生物数据库（英国石油与天然气公司/赫瑞瓦特大学，HWU）通过与英国石油与天然气公司和苏格兰政府的一系列磋商和会议，北海互动中心将人员调来。将 North Sea Interactive 开发为实用工具，为未来开发和扩展到新的勘探和生产领域提供宝贵的案例研究，North Sea Interactive 将催化新想法并成为联合行业项目 (JIP)，从而促进项目的扩展。其中包括重要的附加生物地球化学参数（例如 pH，与岩屑堆稳定性高度相关），直至在英国西部的大西洋边缘等新区域使用 North Sea Interactive 方法。North Sea Interactive 依赖于悠久的历史和密切的合作自 20 世纪 70 年代初以来，HWU 一直与海上工业合作。HWU 团队拥有 60 多年的石油工业项目综合经验，代表着编撰和评估海底生物的独特集体经验。该大学与工业界有着密切的合作关系，这不仅体现在其石油工程学院（JIP 每年收入 450 万英镑；JIP 持续长达 12 年），而且还体现在其石油工业的成功。相关衍生公司（例如 Epistemy、Hydrafact、Hydrason、Petroc Technologies、SeeByte），BGS 作为地球科学和区域地质信息的重要来源拥有无与伦比的地位。关系多种多样，从与个体运营商的一次性合同到大型长期 JIP，例如 1995-2006 年的西部边疆协会（15 家公司，270 万英镑行业资金）和 1992-2010 年的罗卡尔财团（14 家公司， BGS 在此类 JIP 中的成功促进了与 EC 等国际学术联盟的合作STRATAGEM 和 COSTA 计划。通过提供集成 NERC 和石油行业环境数据的单一工具，北海互动将协助运营商为未来油田开发、退役方案和退役后监测实现最佳可行环境方案 (BPEO)。旨在确保随时获取高质量的 NERC 环境数据以及行业数据集，从而帮助公司履行其义务（例如，根据 OSPAR 委员会对 2010-14 年联合评估的国家义务）它为未来的 JIP 提供了一个整合学术和行业数据的模型，特别是在大西洋边缘地区，在了解深水生态系统和石油和天然气活动的脆弱性方面存在知识差距。我们相信，北海互动将创建我们认为将成为最密集的陆架海洋数据集之一，整合来自工业界和学术界的生物、地质和水动力信息，将成为许多新想法和举措以及未来改进的催化剂。 （例如生物地球化学数据层）和扩展（例如大西洋边缘），这些包括与区域栖息地绘图（例如 MAREMAP）的接口，为可再生能源行业提供基础层以及大量潜在的 JIP，特别是围绕环境监测和退役
