Cuba: OSRL was well placed to provide further support to several operators planning to undertake exploratory drilling campaigns offshore during 2012. Operators that had previously been aware of OSRL's response capability took the opportunity to utilise a range of services to enhance oil spill preparedness. 

Indonesia: This case study highlights the close working relationship OSRL has with one of our Members in Indonesia where we were involved extensively in their preparedness plans.

Australia: OSRL helps a Member increase response capability as regulatory requirements become more stringent. 

French Guinea: this is OSRL's first regional mobilisation exercise in the Americas after its merger with CCA, conducted with Shell Americas Response Team and Shell Exploration and Production France.

This presentation explains about NEBA and how it can be used as a proactive process for minimizing impact on the environment and our society. 

This presentation shares the facts about dispersants, and highlights their role within a concerted response effort. 

Read how OSRL developed and designed an Enhanced Responder Training programme to train Petrobras Responders in Brazil at the sites of their response bases and enabled Petrobras to roll-out a longer term training programme across the Petrobras Response Bases to raise preparedness levels.

Catch up on our Introduction to Dispersants webinar when our oil spill experts gave an overview of dispersants covering the topics of Net Environmental Benefit Analysis (NEBA), the Joint Industry Project (JIP), application types, timings, logistics approvals and monitoring.

Catch up on our first Surveillance in Oil Spill Response webinar when our oil spill experts gave their views on the role of surveillance with specific focus on satellites.

Well Capping and Well Containment are complex, cross-functional activities with significant logistical and operational considerations. 
A Well Owner faces a myriad of challenges when reacting to a Well Control scenario. This includes the management of complex, time critical, logistical operations to mobilise assets to the incident location, followed by engagement with specialist organisations to deploy equipment to gain control of the well. Extensive pre-planning and regular exercising will assure response readiness.

This recorded webinar provides an overview of mobilising OSRL's Subsea Well Intervention Services and discusses the critical areas Well Owners need to consider in the event of a mobilisation.

In this engaging talk, Liam, OSRL's Geomatics Lead and globally recognised specialist, gives his view on the state of oil spill modelling, discussing how specialist teams take the model data further to best provide information to a decision support tool.

The shoreline clean-up phase can be the most time consuming and expensive part of any oil spill response operation. Watch this webinar to learn about the strategic and technical aspects of Shoreline Clean-up Assessment Technique (SCAT)
