The KrisEnergy-operated Apsara oil field is Cambodia’s first hydrocarbon development, which could mark an unprecedented milestone in the economic growth of the Southeast Asian nation. OSRL is fortunate to witness and play a role in this significant event by advising the first upstream producer (KrisEnergy) in Cambodia in the planning and writing of the Oil Spill Contingency Plan (OSCP).

The downloadable document covers managing an incident remotely from the office or home. Providing critical information and tips.

This webinar intends to revisit Oil Spill Response Capability Review as an effective preparedness tool. The capability review provides holistic, effective and efficient view of what an ideal oil spill preparedness should like that is appropriate to specific operations.

Assessing your Oil Spill Risk, likelihoods and consequences; Preparedness Planning, Documentation, Notification and Mobilization procedures, Emergency Response and Incident Management Team staffing requirements; Response Resource identification, activation, and deployment; Maintaining Response Readiness.

As part of Staatsolie’s planned nearshore exploration drilling campaign for Blocks A, B, and C in Suriname, Staatsolie approached Oil Spill Response Limited to work with them on their oil spill preparedness activities. This case study highlights the preparedness services, successful delivery and positive learnings accomplished through the close collaboration between OSRL, Staatsolie, and its contractors.

OSRL was engaged by Thailand’sIESG (Oil Industry Environmental Safety Group Association) to assess its oil spill response equipment stockpile and its capability to support in-country oil spill responses, up to Tier 2. Thailand’s Tier 2 capability is unique; representing a coalition between the government, IESG, and its constituent member organisations.

The following case study highlights the scale of the capability review which was completed and the resulting improvement recommendations delivered to all three parties regarding their current equipment stockpile management in terms of quantity, strategic placement and maintenance regime.

Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL) conducted a Global Capability Review for Compañía Española de Petróleos (CEPSA) in 2016.

The Capability Review was part of an initiative to identify any gaps in oil spill preparedness and response capability in some of CEPSA’s Exploration and Production assets around the world.

2015 was the second year OSRL continued working with ExxonMobil PNG Limited (EMPNG) to maintain and develop oil spill response preparedness activities at their facilities in Papua New Guinea.

The contingency planning process is a structured approach to developing a spill response capability. It allows an effective initial response to an oil spill, in addition to sustaining an ongoing response proportionate to the risk.
