a) The proposed text uses a water-based drilling solution, stating that it is required to use a water-based drilling solution, the method of use, processing methods, and pattern monitoring measures at the Appendix 1.

b) The first use of water-based drilling solutions in Vietnam: the record must have the original results of the Groundwater Drilling Solution analysis by the rules of the National Technical Regulation for drilling and drilling jams from the companies. The oil in the sea. Experiments were conducted at the Vietnam environmental conditions due to the laboratory being certified by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment for environmental monitoring operation or quality recognition laboratory.

c) Other filings relate to the water-based drilling solution (if any);

d) In the time of 3 (three) days of work since the date of receiving the file, the Environmental Directorate has the responsibility to inform the organization, the individual to supplement, complete the case if the case is incomplete, valid by statute;

During the 10 (ten) days of work, since the date of receiving full, valid records, the Environment Directorate took the opinion of the Directorate of the Sea and the Vietnam Sea on the proposed dosages using the air drilling solution; reviewing the records, the opinions of the Directorate of the Sea and Sea. Vietnam and has an oil-based response to the use of water-based drilling solutions. The reply text content specifies either approval or non-approval.

4. The Directorate of the Environment, which posts and updates the list of water background drilling solutions that have been approved for use on the Electronic Information portal ' s electronic information portal.

5. The oil and gas organization using the right-to-right-compliant air-drilling solution was approved by the state regulator of the environment, sending out the process of using the water-based drilling solution to the Environmental Directorate, the slowest after 30 years. the day after the end of the use.

What? 4. Waste Management

1. Water extraction from oil and gas oil production is processed and discharged from compliance with the National Technical Regulation of wastewater extraction from oil and gas oil works.

2. Other wastewater sources arise from the oil and gas construction of the sea collected, processed and discharged under the regulation at Table 1.

Table 1

Requirements for collection, processing and disposal of waste water sources arise from the oil and gas construction on the sea.

STT	Waste Location	Wastewater source	Request
1	Less shore than 3 (3) nautical miles	The water wash the equipment, the water that washed the oil.	Collect, dispose of and dispose of the guarantee to the national technical standard of industrial wastewater.
		Wastewater is active.	Collect, dispose of and dispose of the guarantee to the national technical standard of bioactive wastewater.
2	Shore from 03 (three) to 12 (twelve) nautical miles	The water wash the equipment, the water that washed the oil.	Collection, disposal, disposal, and certification of the pollution prevent oil pollution compliance with regulatory requirements at Annex I of the Marpol Convention.
		Wastewater is active.	Collection, disposal, disposal, and certification of a permit for preventing wastewater contamination comply with the requirements prescribed in Annex IV of the Marpol Convention.
