Oil Spill Exercise - BP Sunbury

SpillConsult recently conducted an Oil Spill exercise for the BP Mutual Response Team (MRT) in Sunbury London. The objectives of the exercise included, but were not limited to:
The engagement of the BP MRT members in appropriate Incident Management Roles and to prepare them to drop seamlessly into an incident 3 days after it has begun.

The exercise scenario was around a terrorist attack on a BP tanker, which resulted in the release of up to 10,000 m3 of crude oil into the coastal waters of Komoko; our synthetic environment complete with details from sensitivity maps to its own weather, community and government impacts.

With over 50 MRT members present, being dropped into day three of an event, the atmosphere in the command centre was busy and fast. Feedback from the event was overwhelmingly positive, with many participants expressing they found the day massively useful. All in all, a very successful exercise and we wish the BP MRT the very best in their work.
