Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL), the world’s largest oil spill response cooperative, will be showcasing the capabilities of its Boeing 727 aerial dispersant aircraft on the Solent on 7th June 2017. Flying off the coast of Lee-on-the-Solent, the low-level on-the-water exercise is scheduled to take place at approximately 19.30 and will demonstrate the aircraft’s unique dispersant capabilities, spraying fresh water to simulate the application of dispersant in a real incident.

Oil Spill Response Ltd (OSRL), Trendsetter Engineering and Halliburton today announced the companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for integrated subsea well-capping response solutions. With the MOU, the companies will create a strategic alliance for oil and gas exploration and production companies globally, covering integrated solutions for preparedness and response associated with subsea well control activities.

Oil Spill Response Limited was mentioned in episode 4 of an 8-part documentary series, named Port Ops, which aired on Tuesday 28 April 2017.

The Industry Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC), which is administered by OSRL, held its 2016 Forum at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA.  

Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL) is pleased to sign a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Norwegian Clean Seas Association for Operating Companies (NOFO), an oil recovery organisation delivering services to members operating on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. 

How long does it take for the aircraft to be enroute to its destination?

How much dispersant can it contain?

How far can it fly? Who flies the planes?

How can the location of the dispersant stockpile affect mobilisation time?

How does the incident location affect the mobilisation procedure?

With the issue of Revision 3 of the OPEP Guidance by BEIS (available on the OSRD website), a number of changes (outlined in Appendix C) will apply for training and exercises.

OSRL undertook a Triple Sortie exercise in September to validate the spraying capability of our Boeing 727 aircraft. The exercise also provided an excellent opportunity to test the coordination of spray runs between the 727s and the PA-31 Navajo aerial surveillance aircraft.
