Many marine drilling operations are confident that when they need to perform oil spill cleanup, that it will be effective. What they often discover is that they weren’t fully prepared and suffer the consequences. It’s usually either due to poor spill containment or simply an oil spill cleanup plan that wasn’t efficient. The result is more damage caused to the surrounding environment than there should be and a greater loss of oil that likely could have been saved.
When these spills aren’t properly contained or cleaned up, they reflect poorly on the drilling operation which can ultimately lead to a negative impact on their business. Stewart Technology Associates has the decades of experience and a track record of innovation that these operations can count on to ensure their oil spill cleanup is as effective as it can be prior to a spill. Clients bring in the STA team to analyze their methods for these situations and to offer adjustments that could be made which will prove to be invaluable when a spill occurs, which they inevitably do.
It’s essential that oil spill cleanup plans are developed and planned for proactively instead of waiting until a spill has occurred. When an operation is fully prepared for the worst then they are able to minimize the damage that can result from these accidents. Being proactive can prevent these spills from being major incidents and lower the financial hit they cause. That should be the goal of any operation’s oil spill cleanup plan.
