Meet Omasan Akporiaye, our Geomatics Specialist as he shares how his vast experience adds to the value of his work in OSRL. He is our expert behind the creation of the SCAT Mobile Application.

Hear from Simon Blaen, our Geomatics Supervisor as he shares his typical work day before and after Covid-19. Simon’s expertise in Oil Spill Modelling has helped our customers make informed decisions in both planning and response situations.

In 2016, a member of OSRL was choosing a relief well location as part of a gas exploration well Safety Case. For the case scenario, they wanted to know whether the chosen relief well drill site would be safe. A worst case gas release scenario was modelled by OSRL to asisst in the decision making process for the Member. Find out more through the case study.

The two dimensional (2D) OILMAPTM model allows for rapid trajectory modelling of oil spills. Using real-time and forecast wind and current data, OSRL’s dedicated modelling team predict the development of oil spills, producing outputs to support response planning.

The three dimensional (3D) Oil Spill Contingency And Response (OSCAR) model allows for subsea plume modelling. By combining the outputs of multiple oil spill trajectories, simulating temporally varying wind and current conditions, OSCAR produces statistical (stochastic) outputs from which worst case scenarios can be identified and planned for.

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.
