The Post Macondo Landscape

and $50 per barrel oil

Observations from a

responder’s perspective

The post Macondo landscape

Informed decision-making

The challenge of $50bbl oil

Looking forward


Prior to Macondo & Montara

Shipping was implicitly acknowledged to be our

primary concern in respect of oil spills

From the Amoco Cadiz through Valdez to Erica

and Prestige industry had been on a journey to

reduce the volume and frequency of oil spills

from shipping

And it has been successful....


The Post Macondo Landscape


Industry

Perspective

PREVENTION IS

THE PRIORITY

AND SAFETY IS

PARAMOUNT

Response capability is

fundamental to obtaining

a licence to operate

Ineffective response is

not an option

Public expectations are

high and growing

Regulators are increasing

their demands


Industry

Perspective

RISK

PERSPECTIVE

HAS SHIFTED

Reduction in size and number of shipping related incidents

Significant upstream well control incidents

Montara, Australia

Macondo, Gulf of Mexico

E&P activity is moving to more challenging environments

Arctic

Deepwater

Remote locations

Informed Decision-Making


Surveillance, Modelling

and Visualisation Knowing where spilled oil is, and

understanding what condition it is in

following a spill, is critically important

The GIRG analysis recognized not only

the emergence of new technologies, but

also the fragmentation between groups

who facilitate the technology and the

responders who ultimately use it

SMV is being addressed through seven

work packages

WP1 - In-Water Surveillance (Metocean)

WP2 - Surface Surveillance (Geomatics)

WP3 - Modelling & Prediction (Metocean)

WP4 - Metocean Databases (Metocean)

WP5 - GIS / Common Operating Picture –

COP (Geomatics)

WP6 - Regulatory Issues (Environmental)

WP7 - Report Deliverable (CG)

The challenge of social media

We want to check our facts and get legal

advice before we make statements

Many others don’t


$50 oil and

Midstream / Downstream Risk


Which way are our guns facing?

Focus on upstream post

Macondo

Midstream and

downstream risks have

not gone away

Surplus production may

put storage facilities under

increased pressure


Which way are our guns facing?

Pipeline risks

Budgets are under pressure

A recipe for success:

– Trained people

– Working to a well-developed plan

– Which is regularly exercised

– And fully resourced
