In this interview, Chris talks about the risk of a lack of oiled wildlife responders in the next generation and how the GOWRS service is helping address this by bringing more sustainability and resilience to the wildlife response community.

Join Hon Phui Hang, Response Readiness Lead (APAC) and Simon Blaen, Geomatics Supervisor to learn more about how OSRL uses oil spill modelling to support both preparedness and response activities in the Asia-Pacific region.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) (also commonly referred to as drones) are a commonplace in the modern world. Join Adrian and Matthew we they explore deeper into the applications of UAVs in oil spill response, specifically in the area of beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). 

OSRL's Dispersant Subject Matter Expert group answers common questions about dispersants. When to use dispersants? How do dispersants work? How do we test dispersant effectiveness? Where can dispersants be used and for what type of incidents? These questions and others are explored in this seminar.

In an Incident Management System, responsibilities for wildlife response are often designated to a Wildlife Branch within the Operations Section of the command structure and are overseen by a Wildlife Branch Director. This Branch serves as a vital connecting point between wildlife response operations and the wider incident management. Although well-established in certain countries, the potential scale of wildlife response operations and its impact on and needs from the wider incident response can often be underestimated, especially in larger incidents.  

This seminar brings together emergency managers from leading wildlife response organisations and from the industry to explore the theory and structure behind the Wildlife Branch, how it has been applied in various incidents around the world and the importance of pre-planning in successful incident response.

The members of the Inland Core Group share collective thoughts on the nuance of inland spill preparedness and response activities. Their observations have been formed through their time at a global tier 3 centre covering risks from onshore production, transportation, storage and refining operations.

Our Subsea Manager, Mario Fazio is joined by Paul Love from Clarksons Plc and Chris Lund, Senior Project Engineering Manager to take a closer look at the Sea/response software platform developed by Maritech (Clarksons Plc). We have also invited Tilly Manley from Clarksons Platou Asia and Colin Young from Maritech based in Aberdeen to share their expertise and market knowledge.

The team in APAC has created a video addressing questions you may have on our virtual mode of delivery.

10 years on we reflect on how the Oil & Gas industry has changed since Macondo, this video highlights the key developments which have taken place and been implemented across the course of 10 years...
