At Interspill 2022, Diana Khatun, IOGP’s Senior Manager for Security, Subsea, and Wells, chaired a session on subsea response, addressing subsea readiness, R&D on subsea dispersants and learnings from a large-scale exercises.

“The industry is focussed on prevention. However, as an industry, we must be prepared to respond for low probability but potentially high consequence events, such as a subsea well control event,” said Diana.

“Working together helps all key stakeholders. Consistency in planning, competency and resourcing, exercises and training is critical. There is real strength in collaboration. This is the future.”
