Flyndre and Cawdor Development Environmental Statement
Appendix B – Environmental Impact Assessment
Major
accidental
events
Loss of well
control /fire
explosion
Loss of drilling rig
diesel
Loss of control of well
resulting in release of oil
and gas which may
ignite.
Complete loss of rig fuel
e.g. through loss of
vessel. (NTvL has a fuel
capacity of 1,143 tonnes)
Damage to commercial fisheries, sediment and
water quality impairment and release of
atmospheric emissions.
Likelihood Consequence Risk
1 4 Moderate
Potential impacts on marine life particularly sea
birds.
Likelihood Consequence Risk
1 2 Low
Dispersant on board
standby vessel available for
local response.
Maersk member of OSRL
Emergency Response Plan
implemented in the result
of a loss of well control/fire
and explosion and
activation of fire‐fighting
systems. Regular drills
held.
Inspection &engineering
maintenance strategy
based on preventative
maintenance.
OPEP is implemented in
the event of a spill as per
Emergency Response
Process.
Oil spill modelling has
assessed the risk and
consequence of loss of
diesel inventory.
OSPAR modelling
suggests following a
90 day uncontrolled
spill during
maximum flow
rates, no coastline
will be affected.
30 days after spill is
controlled
