ITOPF 2010
Our position in 2010: life was good and getting better
The Global Industry Response Group (GIRG) set up by IOGP identified five key capability areas
5
Safe
Drilling
Operations
1Prevention &
Drilling Safety
2Capping and
Containment
3Relief Wells
4Oil Spill
Response5
Crisis
Management
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
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
OSR JIP – what did we do?
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”
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..
Significant work with IOPER
Bench scale testing (SINTEF/CEDRE).. but what next? ISO standard?
Post-spill dispersant monitoring & SMART
Dispersant logistics/supply chain planning
Dispersants
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 pro-forma 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
• ‘How to’ guidance complementsNEBA GPG
• Primarily for larger or higherconsequence 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
NEBA (SIMA) Joint work with API
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..

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.

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
• Government led response
• e.g. Germany, Denmark
2
• Industry response controlled by Government
• e.g. Brazil, Mexico
3
• Industry response regulated by Government
• e.g. USA, Canada, Greece
4
• Combination response
• e.g. Australia, New Zealand, UK
5
• Industry Response (no Government capability)
• e.g. Lebanon, Mozambique

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
• 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
Summary: where we have the opportunity to work together with regulators
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 ()
