dc.descriptionFunding Information: This research was funded by the Australian Government’s Industry Growth Centre National Energy Resources Australia (NERA) through a National Decommissioning Research Initiative (NDRI) grant to Curtin University (grant number 13266). The NDRI project was funded by eight industry partners including Shell Australia, Esso Australia, Chevron Australia, BHP Petroleum, Woodside Energy, Santos Limited, ConocoPhillips Pipeline Australia, and Vermilion Oil and Gas Australia. Astley Hastings is funded by the National Decommissioning Centre, Scotland, and the University of Aberdeen. The authors thank Professor Claus Otto (Curtin University) and Professor Richard Neilson (National Decommissioning Centre, Aberdeen, UK.) for comments and support to the project team; and Samantha Jarvis (National Environment Resources Australia), Professor Peter Macreadie, Dr Rick Tinker, and the industry partners of the National Decommissioning Research Initiative for helpful comments to this project.

Past research has shown that mercury associates with offshore oil and gas pipelines as well as other products associated with the infrastructure, deeming such materials “hazardous”. However, the current environmental risk assessments for decommissioning activities of such contaminated materials does not take into account the complexity of the compound's nature and the potential harmful effects on e.g. marine food webs. This review paper has outlined these gaps in our current understanding, as well as providing advice on addressing these gaps to ensure that the marine environmental risk assessments reflect the hazardous nature of mercury-contaminated offshore infrastructure.
