BP

Section 1 Quick Guide

The BP OSRP Q uick Guide i s a co ncise se t of easy ­to­follow instructions and r elated i nformation regarding actions to be performed by the person in charge, as well as other on duty personnel, in the event of a release of product in the region covered by the plan. Additional information and detail may be found in the corresponding sections and appendices of the Oil Spill Response Plan itself.

A. Safety I. Introduction
Site Safety Planning is an essential element of emergency preparedness and response. BP is dedicated to ensuring the safety of company personnel and the public. In the event of an oil spill, or ot her em ergency, BP will m anage a co ordinated r esponse to minimize i mpacts to the environment w hile k eeping sa fety i ssues in t he f orefront. The S ite S afety P lan ( with t he I CS Forms at t he end of this section) is a general pl an intended to address initial safety cr iteria during the early stages of the response effort.

II. Roles and Responsibilities
A list of responsibilities of response personnel in the Command Section, and other ICS positions, is detailed in Section 4 of the OSRP.

B. Spill Assessment
Upon receiving indication of an oil spill, or other chemical release that may threaten the Waters of the United States, t he f ollowing act ions are critical t o i nitiating and su staining an e ffective response: · · · · Locate the spill Determine size and volume of the spill Predict spill movement Monitor and track spill movement

Specific directions and st rategies for performing the above act ions are detailed in Section 10 of the O SRP. A dditionally, Figure 1-1a and Figure 1-1b provide information r elated t o spill estimation and trajectory requests respectively. Figures 1-25 ­ 1-28 are a list of facilities covered by this quick guide and the associated oil spill response plan. For detailed information regarding spill assessment, see Section 10 of the OSRP.

· Initiate su rveillance ov erflights of sp ill ar ea at first l ight o r as soon as possible with fixed wing or rotary wing aircraft to determine: a) Size and description of oil slick b) Direction of movement c) Coordinates of leading and trailing edge of oil slick d) Sensitivities endangered e) Population areas threatened · Video and phot ograph spill area daily during surveillance over flights for documentation and operational purposes, dependent upon weather conditions. · Activate t he B P I ncident M anagement Team (SMT) al ong with t he Unified Command ICS dependent upon the severity of the emergency event. · Notify MSRC and other OSRO'S to respond to the emergency dependent upon spill response requirements. · Obligate all funds required to maintain the coordinated and i ntegrated response activities that are required and/or directed. · Conduct tactical and planning meetings at predetermined time periods along with incident briefings and special purpose meeting which may include: a) Unified Command Meetings b) Command Staff Meetings c) Business Management Meetings d) Agency Representative Meetings e) Press Conferences

C. Locating a Spill
In the event of a significant release of oil, an accurate estimation of the spill's total volume along with the spill location and movement is essential in providing preliminary data to plan and initiate cleanup operations. Generating the estimation as soon as possible will aid in determining: · · · Equipment and personnel required; Potential t hreat t o sh orelines and/or se nsitive areas as well as ecological impact; and Requirements for storage and disposal of recovered materials.

As part o f t he i nitial response, BP will in itiate a sy stematic search wit h a ircraft, p rimarily helicopters, to locate a s pill and det ermine the coordinates of the release. In the event weather prohibits use of aircraft, (both fixed wing and r otor) field boats may be ut ilized to conduct search operations.

Aircraft will also be utilized to photograph the spill on a daily basis, or more frequently if required, for operational purposes. The overflight information will assist with estimating the spill size and movement based upon existing reference points (i.e., oil rigs, islands, familiar shoreline features, etc.).

D. Determining the Size and Volume of a Spill
When a spill has been verified and located, the priority issue will be to estimate and report the volume and m easurements of the spill as soon as possible. Spill measurements will primarily be estimated by using coordinates, pictures, drawings, and other information received from helicopter or fixed wing overflights. Oil spill volume estimations may be determined by direct measurements or by calculations based upon visual assessment of the color of the slick and information related to length and w idth that can be calculated on existing charts. The appearance of oil on water varies with the oil's type and thickness as well as ambient l ight conditions. Oil sl ick t hicknesses greater t han app roximately 0.25 mm cannot be determined by appearance alone. Direct m easurements are t he p referred m ethod for de termining t he v olume of a sp ill. Measurements can be obtained by:
· · · Gauging the tank or container to determine volume lost Measuring pressure lost over time Determining the pump or spill rate (GPM) and elapsed time

Visual asse ssment for determining the v olume o f oi l base d on sl ick information be gins with understanding the terminology listed below:
· · · · Sheen ­ oil visible on the water as a silvery sheen or with tints of rainbow colors. This is the smallest thickness of oil. Dark colors ­ visible with dark colors (i.e., yellowish brown, light brown) with a trace of rainbow color but is not black or dark brown. Black/Dark B rown ­ fresh oi l after i nitial s preading will ha ve a black or v ery dark brown color. This is the largest thickness of non emulsified oil. Mousse ­ water-in-oil em ulsion which is of ten orange to rust c olored. It is t hick and viscous and may contain 30% oil.

Several nat ural w eathering p rocesses occur w hich di minish t he se verity o f t he sp ill dependi ng upon the composition of the oil. Natural weathering processes include the following:
· · · · Dispersion Dissolution Emulsification Evaporation

Factors listed in Figure 1-1a and Figure 1-1b will be used to estimate the volume of oil in a spill unless an accurate amount is known by other means. Estimated spill volumes should be rounded off to avoid the misconception of a precise determination.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is another available resource that can provide oil trajectories. GNOME (General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment) is the oil spill trajectory model used by OR&R Emergency Response Division (ERD) responders during an oil spill. ERD trajectory modelers use GNOME in Diagnostic Mode to set up custom scenarios quickly. In Standard Mode, anyone can use GNOME (with a Location File) to:

· · ·

Predict how w ind, cu rrents, and o ther p rocesses might m ove and s pread oi l sp illed on the water. Learn how predicted oil trajectories are affected by inexactness ("uncertainty") in current and wind observations and forecasts. See how spilled oil is predicted to change chemically and physically ("weather") during the time that it remains on the water surface.

D. Worst Case Discharge scenario for Exploratory Well from Offshore Drilling 1) Worst Case Summary

BP

Appendix H Worst Case Discharge

BP has determined that its worst case scenario for discharge from a mobile drilling rig operation would occur f rom t he Mississippi C anyon 462 lease. MC 462 is a planned ex ploration well t argeted for M iocene oi l r eservoirs. Given t he anticipated reservoir thickness and hi storical pr oductivity index f or t he M iocene, worst ca se discharge i s expected to be 250,000 barrels of cr ude oi l pe r day . C alculations are based on formulas defined by MMS regulations. The oil has an estimated API gravity of 26°. 2) Facility Information Area and Block: MC 462 Latitude: 28° 30' 47.42" Longitude: 88° 52' 40.84" Distance to Shore: 33 miles API Gravity: 26° (Estimated) Oil Storage Volume: 0 barrels

3) Worst Case Discharge Volume Criteria Highest capacity well uncontrolled blowout volume associated with exploration well TOTAL WORST CASE DISCHARGE 4) Land Segment Identification Land areas that could be potentially impacted by an MC 462 oil spill were determined using t he M MS O il Spill Risk A nalysis Model ( OSRAM) t rajectory r esults. The OSRAM est imates the probability t hat oi l sp ills f rom desi gnated l ocations would contact sh oreline and of fshore nat ural r esources. These pr obabilities indicate, i n terms of percentage, the chance that an oil spill occurring in a particular launch area will contact a certain county or parish within 3, 10, and 30 days.
