This involves the IMT pooling equipment and resources and manpower from all KPC subsidiaries, both at operational and management levels. • Kuwait Nation Oil Spill Contingency Plan (NOSCP) is activated
KPC Plan Objectives • Guidelines for subsidiaries to develop its own oil spill contingency plans to activate a timely response for Tier 1 & Tier 2 Marine and Land oil spills. • Link fully with the Kuwait National Oil spill Contingency Plans. • It also contains information for a corporate role in coordinating support response resources to Tier 3 oil spills within Kuwait through The KPC Incident Management Team (IMT).
KPC response Corporate Level • Comprises of a separate Incident Management Team (IMT) for spills above 600t made up from KPC and Government rep. • IMT is capable of pooling resources from all assets to one location/spill event-reacts upon notification. • Adaptable- project phase and on-going capacity, built in capacity for member turnover. • Utilize OSRL services as needed. • KPC media will coordinate with the affected company for the press release.

DISPERSANT Preliminary information • Before any dispersant is used there is a need to read and understand the countries regulations these will state minimum water depths, distance from the coast and current necessary for their use as well as where to gain permission for use. Kuwait is a member of Regional Organization for the Protection of the Marine Environment (ROPME) . This governing body which regulate the use of chemical dispersants into the Arabian Gulf.
DISPERSANT • Chemical dispersants are used during oil spills, for the purpose of protecting natural and sensitive socio-economic resources such as coastal and marine ecosystems. • Their applicability should only be accepted if it results in net environmental benefit, when compared to the effects caused by a spill with no treatment or employed as an alternative and/or additional option for the containment and removal of the oil. • The efficiency of the dispersants, among other factors, is related to the degree of weathering of the oil at sea, weathered oils become more viscous and may also undergo emulsification, factors that reduce the efficiency of these chemical agents. • The best application time of the chemical dispersants within the first 12 hours following the spill.
DISPERSANT • A: Dispersant droplets containing surfactants are sprayed onto the oil. • B: The solvent carries the surfactant into the oil. • C: The surfactant molecules migrate to the oil/water interface and reduce surface tension, allowing • D: small oil droplets to break away from the slick. • E: The droplets disperse by turbulent mixing, leaving only sheen on the water surface
