Environmental sensitivity mapping for oil & gas development: A high-level review of methodologies

Sensitivity maps are a way of presenting spatial data on the sensitivity of assets to any given pressure, such as the sensitivity of natural assets (e.g. mangroves) to oil spills. Assets that are considered vulnerable are those that are sensitive and exposed to a given pressure. Many mapping appr...

short_description	<p>This document provides a non-exhaustive review of sensitivity mapping approaches, outlining the relative advantages, disadvantages and data requirements. The aim is to provide guidance when selecting environmental sensitivity mapping methods under different data availability scenarios, and based on differing user capacities. The document thereby outlines a workflow from ‘limited data’ scenarios to advanced implementation of detailed environmental sensitivity analyses, and the necessary considerations.</p>
