The Premiam group has recently published another guidelines document outlining best practice for environmental monitoring for subsea releases of oil and subsequent dispersant use. The production of the guidelines was commissioned by Oil and Gas UK and was developed as a result of recommendations from the Oil Spill Response Forum (formerly OSPRAG) as part of UK preparedness improvements following the Deepwater Horizon incident. The link below takes you to the relevant News story currently running on the Premiam website. Feel free to use that text and/or amend as necessary.
