Our position in 2010: life was good and getting better ITOPF 2010
The Global Industry Response Group (GIRG) set up by IOGP identified five key capability areas 5 Crisis Management 4 Oil Spill Response 3 Relief Wells Safe Drilling Operations 1 Prevention & Drilling Safety 2 Capping and Containment 5
The GIRG Process
five years eight million US$ nineteen funding members one project manager from IPIECA seventy consultants and contractors two hundred and fifty industry reviewers one hundred and forty visits, workshops & seminars
The financial contribution of companies such as these has made this possible
OSR JIP what did we do? 1. Short reports (8 10 pages) giving technical advice, clarifying an industry position, stating a current situation, and/or recommending further detailed studies 2. Good Practice Guidance: updating and expanding the IPIECA report series (30 50 pages) became IPIECA - IOGP 3. Recommended Practices (50 100 pages) e.g. Offshore Risk/Response Preparedness Assessment 4. Influencing: work with EMSA, API, IMO; IOPER; and many others both inside and outside of industry 5. Outreach materials, videos/animations, Glance/Scan materials working with U.S. based consultancy The Clearing
Significant work with IOPER We continue to work with the International Offshore Petroleum Environmental Regulators Joint meetings, Interspill conference session, inclusion in Australian workshop, meetings with CNLOPB, BSEE, DECC etc..
Dispersants Bench scale testing (SINTEF/CEDRE).. but what next? ISO standard? Post-spill dispersant monitoring & SMART Dispersant logistics/supply chain planning
Regulatory Approval of Dispersant Products and Authorization for their Use Recognises dispersants place in the response toolkit Assist regulators and interested parties in developing effective regulation Aims to clarify an issue which can be confusing and contentious Potential interest to countries with existing regulation
In-Situ burning ISB equipment selection Residue and burn studies
Risk Assessment and Response Planning Risk assessment-based methodology for offshore A scenario-based planning standard for an upstream release and estimation of the associated quantities An assessment of environmental/commercial resources at risk An assessment of response resource needs and capability and the ability to cascade resources in to the spill area Embedding the above in contingency planning Proving the response through drills and exercises
Just a few of the technical reports Current status and future needs for aerial dispersant application Mutual aid indemnification and liability including legal proforma templates for global use (brokered by IOGP legal committee) Guidelines on oil characterization to inform spill response decisions Assessment of response effectiveness of Oil Spill Response Organizations.. now also an Excel tool and may also be a web app in the near future
NEBA (SIMA) Joint work with API How to guidance complements NEBA GPG Primarily for larger or higher consequence spill scenarios Use by planners or responders Develops response strategy maximising mitigation of impacts - across ecological, socio-economic and cultural sensitivities Transparent approach, engages relevant stakeholders - helps communicate strategic decisions
Surveillance, Modelling & Visualization In-Water Surveillance (BP/Battelle/Oceaneering) 2 docs Surface Surveillance (GeoCento/Kim Partington 3 docs) Metocean Modelling & Prediction (Total/Actimar 1 doc) Metocean Databases (Total/Actimar 1 doc) GIS / Common Operating Picture (Shell/OGC/RDI 1 doc) The COP work is now an OGC Recommended Practice..

Tiered Preparedness and Response AS RESPONSE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES HAVE EVOLVED TO BECOME MORE SPECIALIZED, SO TOO MUST THE TIERED PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE MODEL MODERN TECHNOLOGY, ADVANCED LOGISTICS CAPABILITIES, AND NEW COMMUNICATION TOOLS HAVE IMPROVED INDUSTRY S ABILITY TO CASCADE RESOURCES TO AN INCIDENT LOCATION. THE BENEFITS OF TODAY S SPECIALIZATION AND EXPERTISE ARE DIMINISHED IF THEY MUST BE REPLICATED AT EACH OPERATING SITE OR WITHIN EACH COUNTRY. THE MODEL FACILITATES A TIERED RESPONSE BY DEPICTING WHICH RESPONSE CAPABILITIES ARE NEEDED AND IN WHAT TIMEFRAME. IMS EVOLVING MODEL

4. Roles and responsibilities are clearly stated Our firm view is that ICS or an ICS like approach is required to manage large amounts of equipment, people and transactions However our experience with IMS and ICS is that ICS doesn t always translate well into local coordinated command systems We have designed an IMS which is ICS - like and recognizes multiple command and coordination challenges
Government led or Industry led? 1 2 3 4 5 Government led response e.g. Germany, Denmark Industry response controlled by Government e.g. Brazil, Mexico Industry response regulated by Government e.g. USA, Canada, Greece Combination response e.g. Australia, New Zealand, UK Industry Response (no Government capability) e.g. Lebanon, Mozambique Govt control Industry control Spectrum of control

Summary: where we have the opportunity to work together with regulators Support efforts to remove or reduce barriers (people, equipment.) Participation in exercises and drills Adopt a risk based approach to offshore response planning Set realistic expectations for OSRO competency and capability Set realistic principles for exercise frequencies and the basics of Contingency Planning
Some of our priorities going forward Define a Global Recommended Practice for Net Environmental Benefit Analysis (NEBA now SIMA) Continue to promote ICS or ICS like systems as the default standard IMS globally Work on SMV and especially Common Operating Picture Implement the Global Oiled Wildlife Response System Continue to press regulators to mandate/adopt JIP products where feasible and appropriate Define the integration strategy for JIP into the IPIECA Oil Spill Working Group ( )
