This section will include coverage of biodegradation capacity of deepwater systems ALARP Fate and Effects of Subsea Dispersed Oil Operational Aspects of SSDI Three-dimensional Modelling An overview of logistics, timing, integration into Source Control, and debris clearance toolkit which will include subsea dispersant wands for SSDI The key point is that some models are designed specifically to consider deepwater currents, pressure, and atomizing spray zone formation. Will compare and contrast the top few models for purpose of SSDI planning and decision making SSDI Monitoring How does this differ from traditional environmental monitoring during a spill event, and why is it some important to tie back into original NEBA justification Worker Health & Safety Workers are more efficient and can work more safely when volatiles at Source Control are eliminated and they are not required to don PPE. This also applies to site safety when considering LELs Case Study Ongoing Research in the field of Dispersants Deepwater Horizon spill of 2010 What ongoing research is enhancing our understanding of this technique. This section will discuss active research where publications are not yet available. Key Sources of Information Provide relevant websites and papers for more information. AMOSC Update: Fremantle stockpile • Reduction in response time to GeraldtonExmouth 8~15 hours by road • Ability to deliver full suite of accredited training courses and workshops both east and west coasts • Light/heavy booming, light/heavy skimming, near shore/offshore New Fremantle Stockpile • To consist; ▫ ▫ ▫ ▫ ▫ ▫ ▫ ▫ ▫ Light booms Light skimmers Heavy booms Heavy skimmers Dispersant equipment Dispersant Shoreline kit Decon kit OWR container • Rationale AMOSC Update: Oiled Wildlife Response • • • • 2 X Containers for industry Training Plans Contracts for support Other AMOSC issues • Complete OWR capability • Fixed Wing Aerial Dispersant contract (FWADC • Incident Command System training potential • Member company audit • Dispersant ‘Just-in-time’ investigation Oil Spill Contingency Plans (OSCP/OPEP) AMOSC review process and trends AMOSC OSCP Review Process All OSCPs provided to AMOSC are reviewed to ensure: ▫ AMOSC can/cannot undertake the tasking described; ▫ to communicate these outcomes to the member submitting the plan; and ▫ prepare an internal ‘bridge card’ (abbreviated version of the requirements of the plan). AMOSC OSCP Review Process Recently undertook a ‘stocktake’ of this process. Observations: ▫ gaps between ‘accepted OSCPs’ and drafts provided for review, ▫ discrepancy between NOPSEMA noted EP’s and OSCPs, and ▫ AMOSC’s list is not complete. AMOSC OSCP Review Process ▫ Commenced contact with all members to ensure current plans are correct(ed) and supplied to AMOSC. ▫ End of May for this stocktake to be finished. ▫ End June for bridge cards to be completed for all ‘live’ plans. AMOSC OSCP Review Process – what do we see? • Prior to Jan 2012 – 20 years worth of poor habit/practice Corporate vs. Operational OSCPs ‘Cookie Cutter’ plans Minimal Preparedness – identification of risk, sensitivities, company capability, resources and consultation AMOSC OSCP Review Process – what do we see? • Trends OSCPs describing what an operator will do Mostly reasonable response strategies Significant thought given to implementation Much greater understanding of resources types, providers and relationships Analysis/unblocking of choke points • Trends Scale has been thought through Multi organisational responses Regulatory ‘proof’ moving to the EP Innovation in planning – step change from 12, from 24 months ago • Trends Δ Performance objectives, measurements and standards – strait jacketed responses Δ Poor descriptions of true dynamic planning – “how the company will dynamically respond to today’s circumstance (IAP)” Δ OSCPs written for regulatory acceptance, not response implementation (Melbourne – Perth test) • Trends Δ Critical thinking and analysis around ALARP – just because it can be done, does not mean it should be. Δ ‘Tests’ that are not tests Δ Importing practice/process without customisation (EG – Unified Command) What are we seeing? • Positive interface between members and AMOSC: ▫ ▫ ▫ ▫ ▫ Consultation 24/7 Duty Officer Activation – equipment, personnel Training Exercising More information AMOSC Guidance Note - Australian Marine Oil Spill Centre (AMOSC) & Industry Consultation under the Offshore Petroleum & Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2011. www.amosc.com.au AMOSC OSCP Review submission process and procedure. www.amosc.com.au AMOSC assistance – plan review (light/detailed), workshops (risk/ response strategies) and advice OPGGSA Enviro Regulations • Common threads throughout – ‘scale and nature’ – products, volume, location, company’s risk appetite dictate what ‘ALARP means’. • Streamlining b/w EPBC and OPGGS Act approvals. ▫ Dispersant use – avoidance of doubt about NOPSEMA’s ‘approving role’ for the use of dispersants OPGGSA Enviro Regulations Oil Pollution Emergency Plan: greater clarity on what needs to be in the OPEP • Reg 14, (8AA) (a) …..the control measures necessary for timely response to an emergency that results or may result in oil pollution………. ▫ Oil Spill Response Strategies – what do you think you can do? • Reg 14, (8AA) (b) …... arrangements and capability…for the duration of the activity, to ensure….implementation of…control measures; ▫ How are you going to proportionately implement these strategies ? Resources, command, control and coordination. OPGGSA Enviro Regulations Oil Pollution Emergency Plan • Reg 14, (8AA) (c) ….arrangements and capability….for monitoring the effectiveness of the control measures and ensuring that the environmental performance standards….are met; ▫ How do you ensure that the strategies being put in place are effective? Clear termination and end points criteria. • Reg 14, (8AA) (d) …..the arrangements and capability in place for monitoring oil pollution to inform response activities…. ▫ Ongoing monitoring and assessment – gaining and maintaining situational awareness. OPGGSA Enviro Regulations • Oil Pollution Emergency Plan Increased prescription on testing. • Reg 14, (8A) ….include arrangements for testing the response arrangements in the oil pollution emergency plan that are appropriate to the….nature and scale of the risk of oil pollution for the activity. • Reg 14, (8B) ….must include: (a) a statement of the objectives of testing; and (b) a proposed schedule of tests; and (c) mechanisms to examine the effectiveness of response arrangements against the objectives of testing; and (d) mechanisms to address recommendations arising from tests. • This is good exercise practice… OPGGSA Enviro Regulations • Oil Pollution Emergency Plan ▫ Fish hooks? …..are consistent with the national system for oil pollution preparedness and response….(PPRR, OSCA, AIIMS, etc) ……EP must describe the requirements, including legislative requirements that apply to the activity and are relevant to the environmental management of the activity; and demonstrate how those requirements will be met…… AMOSC Exercises & Drills Woody Leef Manager (West) Scope • Observations ▫ General ▫ Incident Management Team ▫ Tactical Field Deployments • Areas of Improvement • National Plan Exercise 2014 • Looking Ahead Observations - General • Reactive vs. Proactive ▫ What are the advantages? ▫ Comfort of remaining in a “Reactive environment”. ▫ Transition - “Initial Response” to “Planning cycle” • Positive: Greater understanding about the difference between emergency vs. oil spill incident.
