Oil Spill Response in Ice Conditions
• The presence of ice does present challenges
for OSR. High ice cover inhibits access by
response vessels and also limits the range of
recovery devices that can be deployed.
High ice cover also inhibits the spread of oil
and slows trajectory.
Sakhalin Energy has reviewed, and is
continuing to review the available equipment for
oil recovery in ice conditions. These are being
assessed against the conditions that exist
offshore and onshore Sakhalin Island.
Ongoing development is carried out through
continuing Oil in Ice studies and participation in
industry R & D programmes.
