Abstract
ABSTRACT Reducing the consequences for the environment is the main purpose of oil spill response. In many areas of the world, there is a wealth of information on vulnerable resources. Combining this with sophisticated tools for oil drift simulations and environmental damage assessment allows quantitative risk assessments to be transformed to an oil strategic oil response plan that can be used to manage a range of possible outcomes of an oil release scenario, but there is a challenge when all the data generated through these analyses are to be used in practical oil spill response plans. This paper presents how the results from a tiered, systematic and integrated environmental risk assessment can be translated into a strategic environmental oil spill response plan, including net environmental benefit assessments of alternative strategies and priorities. The approach is presented through a case study from the drilling of an exploration well on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). Geographical areas of reso...
