3 1. OIL SPILL RISKS 1.1 Potential Risk Resources From oil & gas drilling & producing operations: crude oil being produced, fuel oil of FPSO/supply vessel Producing rate: barrels/days aver. Location: occurs mainly in offshore of the South From sea transportation: DO, FO, LO, KO, condensate (Fuel or goods of tankers) Unloading rate: 7-8 million tons/year Location: at inland terminal (10-20km away from the estuaries) and unloading points in Ganh Rai Bay Vung Tau city.

4 1. OIL SPILL RISKS 1.2 Oil Movement Mainly depend on time of year and location Offshore incident (offshore area of the south) In NE monsoon: (from Nov to Mar/Apr) toward the shoreline In SW monsoon: (from Jun to Sep) drifts away the shoreline (modeling is available) Near shore incident: not easy to forecast the movement direction (modeling is available for few rivers in HCM city, BR-VT province) On river incident: moves quickly & changes dimension after six hours

5 1. OIL SPILL RISKS 1.3 Resources At Risk Present at almost coastal provinces Invested values of each type of feeding/panting objective could estimate Statistical reports in details are not available - Fishing spawning area - Bird breeding - Mangrove stand -Fish/ farm - Oyster/shell farm - Tourists, beaches - Seaside resorts - Lobster farm -Salt farm - Tiger shrimp

6 1. OIL SPILL RISK 1.4 Legislation Environmental protection law (EPL), 1995 & circular guidelines to implement EPL Petroleum law (PL), 1993 & circular guideline to implement PL Safety Management Regulations in the Petroleum Activities Decision No. 129/2001/DQ-TTg, 2001 improved national plan to develop oil spill response capacity from Circular No. 2262/TT-MTg, 1995 issued by MoSTE regulating temporarily for responding to oil spill incident

7 1. OIL SPILL RISK 1.4 Legislation Environmental protection law (EPL), 1995 & circular guidelines to implement EPL Petroleum law (PL), 1993 & circular guideline to implement PL Safety Management Regulations in the Petroleum Activities Decision No. 129/2001/DQ-TTg, 2001 improved national plan to develop oil spill response capacity from Circular No. 2262/TT-MTg, 1995 issued by MoSTE regulating temporarily for responding to oil spill incident

8 2. OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE 2.1 Organization Industry stakeholder - VSP - PV Drilling - RDCPSE -PTSC NSR Committee National OSR Centers Local Authorities - Port authorities - Militaries Private Sector -Dai Minh - Thanh Trung Offshore response teams River response teams Shoreline cleanup teams Other support teams

9 2. OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE 2.2 Responsibilities National Search & Rescue Committee (NSR committee) - Direct & coordinate national centers in tier III incident - Report to the Government the result of response operations National oil spill response centers (National OSR Centers) - Conduct directly the response operations up to tier III - Coordinate & control directly response teams from other resources attending to the response operations - Report response results to the NSR Committee - National contact point for international cooperating operations

10 2. OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE 2.2 Responsibilities Response teams of National OSR Center - Prepare and arrange equipment, personnel, vehicles to carry out response operations Industry stakeholder: PV Drilling, VSP, PTSC, RDCPSE, - Support response teams to carry out the response operations (provide equipment, personnel, chemical, vehicles ) Local authorities: Military, Port Authorities - Conduct/ support response operations from tier II - Report the responses to People committee

11 2. OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE 2.3 Key Response Forces Navy No. 128 Company (for the north) - Assigned temporarily to respond to oil spill incident in the north - Main working area: Hai Phong Port, Ha Long Bay - Personnel: a small response team - Equipment: some kinds of equipment. - Experiences: 02 years with real incidents

12 2. OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE 2.3 Key Response Forces For Each Region Autumn River Company (for the center) - Officially launches its operations as a NORC in Main working area: Da Nang Port, Nha Trang & Vung Ro Bay - Personnel: persons - Equipment: focus mainly on inshore response in this period - Experiences: 02 years with real incidents

13 2. OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE 2.3 Key Response Forces PV Drilling (for the south) - Assigned temporarily to respond to oil spill incident in the south - Main working area: all oil fields in Vietnam territory oil transferring areas on rivers in VT, HCM, D.Nai.. - Personnel: stand-by with 30 trained experts, technicians, operators back up with app. 150 offshore men - Equipment: diverse & enough to cope with a spill at tier II (booms, skimmers, tanks, chemicals, bio-degradable adsorbent, auxiliaries, ) - Experiences: since 1994, carry out such exercise (6-10 times/year) and respond to real incident

14 2. OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE 2.4 Other Response Forces VSP (Vung Tau) - Activities: stand-by/ respond for VSP s oil production operations in at offshore oil filed, VSP supply port at VT - Personnel: stand-by with 1 response team (10 trained persons) - Equipment: diverse & enough to cope with a spill at tier II - Experiences: since 1995, carry out 1-2 exercise a year, responded to some spills

15 2. OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE 2.4 Other Response Forces Ha Dat, Thanh Trung (VT), Dai Minh (HCM) - Activities: stand-by for oil transferring at few terminals inshore/ on river in Vung Tau - Personnel: stand-by with 1 response team (5 10 persons) - Equipment: enough to cope with a spill on river at tier I - Experiences: 2-3 years RDCPSE - Activities: consult for planning, assess the envi. Impact from a spill, etc., - Personnel: experts on field of lab, IT, environment, etc, - Facility: lab, treatment facility, software for forecast oil movement,.

16 2. OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE 2.5 Response Strategies - Natural clean-up & monitoring - Chemical dispersant - Mechanic containment & recovery - In-situ - Protect the sensitive shorelines - Shoreline clean-up For each situation, one or combined strategy mentioned above will be chosen to prevent/reduce the affect of a spill to and promote the recovery of the environment

17 CONCLUSION - Oil spill incident is one of the most potential risks which could affect seriously to Vietnam coastal environment, specially in the south. - The fundamental regulations/ contingency plans have been issued to regulate, guideline strategies for preparedness & response of oil spill. - Three NORSCs will be established, developed to cope with a spill up to tier II for each region and cooperate in case of tier III incident
