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: 400.000 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.
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
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
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 2001 2010 Circular No. 2262/TT-MTg, 1995 issued by MoSTE regulating temporarily for responding to oil spill incident

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
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
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
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
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 2003 - Main working area: Da Nang Port, Nha Trang & Vung Ro Bay - Personnel: 10 15 persons - Equipment: focus mainly on inshore response in this period - Experiences: 02 years with real incidents
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
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
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,.
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
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
