Background on Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Operations, Production and Spill Incidents
December 3, 2019
Overview• Reasons for hosting the Spill Forum
• Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Wells
• Oil Production/Water Production
• Tanker Offloads
• Crude Oil Spill Incident and Volumes
• Spill data from C-NLOPB website
2
Reasons for hosting the Spill Forum • All spills prohibited in the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Area
• Operators must report spills to C-NLOPB
• As stated in the Acts, operators are responsible for spill response
• Operators must take “all reasonable measures” to respond to and mitigate spill
Given four spills since April 2018, C-NLOPB initiated this forum so that all stakeholders could share
their thoughts, lesson learned and collaborate on ways to improve performance.
