Responding to oil and hazardous substance incidents has become increasingly complex and sophisticated. Response plans must be developed and field operations implemented that address the unique nature of each incident. Issues including safety, the type of oil or chemical involved, environmental risks, and operational even political considerations can be keys in determining the overall success in responding to an incident. This session will present five distinctive case studies covering several of these issues in diverse and challenging oil and chemical incidents.
