This video explains the rationale for setting up the Oil Spill Prevention and Response and Group (OSPRAG); the recommendations and measures taken to enhance the prevention and response to a major oil spill incident; and the SULA exercise.

Video encompassing all elements of SWIS. Six minutes long.

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.

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.

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.

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.
