This video describes how Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL) and the Subsea Well Response Project (SWRP) are collaborating to further develop existing subsea well response capability through the provision of a subsea well containment concept supplemented by a containment toolkit.

This animation explains the purpose and use of the Subsea Well Intervention System, showing the use of ROVs to deploy subsea dispersant, connect the capping system to the BOP and operative valves to divert and halt the flow, for a successful operation.

This factsheet provides a technical overview of the Global Dispersant Stockpile.

This fact sheet summarises the oil spill response and dispersant use requirements for releases in Arctic environments, including regulatory requirements.

This fact sheet summarises signifcant spill events and subsequent regulatory changes that have advanced spill response and the use of dispersants as an operational response tool.

This fact sheet summarises the benefits and limitations of dispersants use for subsea and point source injection.

This fact sheet summarises the operational capabilities and potential benefits of dispersant use at the water surface.

This fact sheet summarises the trade-offs and evaluation factors used by decision makers to determine whether the use of dispersants is warranted for an oil spill.

This fact sheet summarises in the process and decision-making required for dispersant use approval in United States waters.
