What makes an effective response to an oil spill? Well trained personnel and the correct response equipment, available at all times. OSRL provides customised, targeted and cost effective oil spill response equipment leasing solutions in support of our members and the demands of the industry. 

Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL) has undergone a development process to increase its inland oil spill response capability. This poster illustrates the activities carried out during this development process and documents the change in capability.

Oil spill contingency plans are important documents that aid critical decision making when responding to an oil spill incident. Their functionality is for users who are faced with intense pressures to respond quickly to an incident is crucial.

Oil spills have been occurring for years and the oil and gas industry has developed a vast amount of technical expertise in dealing with them. Many of the main response strategies now have common placed principles that are looked at as industry best practice. With sound principles and a large depth of technical knowledge we now face a new challenge – how do we communicate this knowledge efficiently and effectively both inside the industry and also to external stakeholders?

The approach to risk assessment and its mitigation has changed significantly post Macondo, a tragedy that has become a watershed for the industry and a resolve to ensure there is never a repetition.
