Support for Oil Spill Response

bg-logo

The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (www.ogp.org.uk) in conjunction with the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (www.ipieca.org) have commissioned an Oil Spill Response (OSR) Joint Industry Project (JIP). One of the JIP objectives is to review commercial satellite and airborne remote sensing capabilities relevant to Oil Spill Response and to identify gaps in this provision.

You are kindly invited therefore to complete a survey giving relevant information on your respective platforms and/or sensors applicable to OSR to help support this endeavour. This will lead to a resource of information on relevant suppliers for the oil and gas industry, and will help provide recommendations for the future application of airborne remote sensing in OSR.

Further background information and instructions regarding completion and future use can be found at the start of the survey.

There are two surveys available, one for airborne platform providers and one for airborne sensor providers. Your respective organisation may fall into both of these categories but we would ask you to please complete only one survey.

The surveys are to be completed online. The links are as follows:

For Airborne Platform Providers: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OSR_airborne_platform_survey

For Airborne Sensor Providers: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OSR_airborne_sensor_survey

We kindly request that you complete the survey by the 19th December 2013.

If you do have any questions regarding the survey or the OSR-JIP in general, please do not hesitate to get in touch directly with me at jo.wilkin@ipieca.org.
