From 1993 to 1999 the project conducted intensive scientific investigation and analysis, engaged in public consultation and incorporated the input and findings into the design for the oilfield and pipeline. The result was the 20-volume set of environmental assessment and environmental management planning documents that has been posted here.
The package of environmental documentation was produced in collaboration with the sponsoring Consortium of oil companies and the two host governments, the Republic of Chad and the Republic of Cameroon.
