OSRL mobilised a team of responders to Trinidad to work alongside a national oil company in response to an ongoing release from a wellhead a short distance offshore. Our responders were able to lead offshore containment and recovery operations until the release could be controlled, and the well killed.

Here, Jamie Gathercole discusses some of the challenges the team had to contend with throughout the response, and a first for OSRL as we were able to utilise Unmanned Aerial Vehicle footage to support a spill response in real-time.
