Wild Well Control and Oil Spill Response sign strategic alliance agreement for increased response capabilities

Wild Well Control (WWC) and Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL) have signed a strategic alliance agreement, which provides an increased capability to the oil and gas industry.

The collaboration between WWC and OSRL has been strategically implemented to further enhance the capabilities of the Global Subsea Response Network’s (GSRN) services, as provided through OSRL’s Subsea Well Intervention Services (SWIS). Designed to meet industry and regulatory expectations for an aligned Source Control Emergency Response Planning (SCERP) solution, the partnership will offer industry best practice relating to response planning, exercises and when responding to a well control incident.

The combined capability of WWC and ORSL provides a one-stop solution to the industry, covering aspects of emergency response from surface oil recovery to subsea capping and containment hardware, well control and well kill operations, relief well planning and drilling, and logistics support via air, sea and land.

“The collaboration between WWC and OSRL provides the industry with the most comprehensive international solution for preparing for and responding to Subsea Incidents on a global basis,” Robert Limb, CEO of Oil Spill Response Limited, said. “At OSRL we are very excited about working closely with the WWC team to further strengthen industry capabilities to mitigate the environmental impact of any incident.”

“This strategic alliance allows WWC and OSRL to provide a first-class full Subsea preparedness and response solution to the industry,” Bryan Ellis, President of Oil Wild Well Control, added. “We look forward to working with OSRL to introduce a new level of coordination and service on a global basis.”
