It is divided into two parts. Part A contains the project background; hydrocarbon potential trend scenarios; critical environmental and social risks; and key SESA findings. Part B contains background and supporting information used in development of the SESA: Description of methodology used in the SESA; legal, regulatory and institutional framework; development trends, onshore and offshore; environmental setting - onshore and offshore; social setting; and cultural and archaeological heritage.La République Islamique de Mauritanie (RIM) souhaiterait participer au boom énergétique qui a récemment eu lieu en Afrique de l’Ouest. La découverte du champ de pétrole de Chinguetti en 2001 a favorisé l’expansion rapide des activités d’exploration pétrolière en mer, faisant naître l’espoir du pays de jouir de richesses pétrolières. Ce sentiment fut renforcé en 2006 lorsque le champ de pétrole de Chinguetti entama sa phase de production, et que d’autres champs de pétrole et de gaz furent découverts en mer. Malgré ces premières découvertes prometteuses, les conditions favorables permettant un boom pétrolier offshore doivent encore être réalisées, car la production n’a pas réussi à satisfaire les attentes initiales. De la même manière, après 35 ans d’inactivité, le forage est prêt à reprendre à l’intérieur du pays. Bien qu’il soit encore trop tôt pour pouvoir le dire, des perspectives prometteuses concernant les hydrocarbures onshore et offshore pourraient faire renaître l’espoir que la Mauritanie devienne un acteur du secteur de l’énergie à l’échelle globale. Le gouvernement de la RIM a reconnu l’importance de renforcer le cadre législatif et réglementaire et d’améliorer la gouvernance environnementale en réponse à la croissance rapide du secteur des hydrocarbures. La préparation d’une Evaluation Environnementale Stratégique (EES) est un instrument qui permet de garantir que le développement des hydrocarbures ait lieu de manière durable en accord avec les meilleurs pratiques et standards environnementaux et sociaux internationaux.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS ROADSADVERSE EFFECTSAIR QUALITYAPPROACHAQUIFERASSESSMENT PROCESSAVERAGE TEMPERATUREBARRELBARREL OF OILBARRELS PER DAYBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONCIVIL LIABILITYCIVIL LIABILITY CONVENTIONCOASTAL AREASCONSERVATIONDECISION MAKINGDISTRIBUTION OF OILDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMDOMESTIC ENERGYDOMESTIC ENERGY PRODUCTIONDRILLINGDRINKING WATERECONOMIC VALUEECONOMICSECOSYSTEMECOSYSTEMSEMISSIONSENDANGERED SPECIESENERGY DEMANDENERGY DEVELOPMENTENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY PRODUCTION FACILITIESENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCESENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGEENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGESENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL POLICYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESENVIRONMENTAL RISKENVIRONMENTAL TARGETSENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREASENVIRONMENTSEXPLOITATIONEXPLOITATION ACTIVITIESEXPLORATION DRILLINGEXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIESEXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVEEXTRACTIVE INDUSTRY REVIEWFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISHFISHERIESFISHINGGAS ACTIVITIESGAS DEVELOPMENTGAS DISCOVERIESGAS EXPLORATIONGAS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENTGAS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTIONGAS FIELDGAS FIELD DEVELOPMENTGAS FIELDSGAS INDUSTRYGAS OPERATIONSGAS PRODUCTIONGAS PROJECTSGAS RESERVESGAS RESOURCEGAS RESOURCESGAS SECTOR DEVELOPMENTGAS TRANSPORTATIONGAS TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTUREGLOBAL ENERGY DEMANDGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHUMAN HEALTHHYDROCARBON EXPLORATIONHYDROCARBON GENERATIONHYDROCARBON POTENTIALHYDROCARBON RESERVESHYDROCARBON SECTORHYDROCARBONSINCOMELAND TENURELAND USELNGMARINE ENVIRONMENTMARINE POLLUTIONMINESMINISTRY OF PETROLEUMNATIONAL OILNATURAL ECOSYSTEMSNATURAL ENVIRONMENTNATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCESOFFSHORE GASOFFSHORE OILOFFSHORE OIL EXPLORATIONOFFSHORE PRODUCTIONOILOIL & GASOIL & GAS SECTOROIL AND GASOIL AND GAS SECTOROIL COMPANIESOIL COMPANYOIL DEVELOPMENTOIL DISCOVERIESOIL ECONOMYOIL EQUIVALENTOIL EXPLORATIONOIL FIELDOIL INDUSTRYOIL MARKETOIL POLLUTIONOIL PRODUCINGOIL PRODUCING COUNTRIESOIL RESERVESOIL REVENUESOIL SECTOROIL SPILLOIL SPILL PREVENTIONOIL SPILL RESPONSEOIL SPILLSONSHORE AREASPETROLEUMPETROLEUM INDUSTRYPETROLEUM PRODUCERSPETROLEUM RESOURCESPETROLEUM SECTORPOLLUTANT EMISSIONSPOLLUTIONPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCERSPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONREMEDIAL ACTIONSRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRESOURCE USERISK MANAGEMENTSHIPSSTREAMSURFACE WATERSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE USESUSTAINABLE WATERWASTEWASTE MANAGEMENTWATER POLLUTIONWorld Bank10.1596/12596
