NOFO is an oil spill response organisation etablished by

the operating companies on the Norwegian continental

shelf. NOFO’s objective is environmental protection. The

organisation ensures that the authorities oil spill recovery

guidelines are followed. This is undertaken on behalf of,

and together with, the operating companies.

Recover oil in all weather conditions as long as the oil is floating on

surface.

FRAMO philosophy:

Oil spill in open sea:

What is the challenge?

FRAMO TransRec High Capacity Oil Recovery System

Open deck installation

Garage installation

Selection of skimmer for open sea oil recovery

Selection of skimmer for open sea oil recovery

Low to medium viscous oil

News;

Macondo experience

Selection of skimmer for open sea oil recovery

High viscocity oil

Norwegian authorities allow testing of equipment with oil, in the open sea

TransRec 150 with Weir Skimmer Head

– NOFO Oil on water excercise 2003

Operate in low visibility

If we can ”see” and measure what we are doing during operation,

we may increase the overall efficiency by a factor of 2

To operate ”blindfolded”, the equipment should have:

- oil thickness meter

- oil/water phase meter in discharge line

- oil slick positions from surveillance helicopter

The philosophy:

FRAMO factory test of HiVisc Skimmer head.

Pumping 50.000 cSt – 220m3/hr

Obtain, store, analyze and report data from the skimmer

The philosophy:

Transfer of recovered oil in open sea to Storage Vessel

ROLS – Remote off loading of sunken vessels

Contingency Strategy and where to invest your money?

Average Cost in US$/ton from different oil spills.

Emergency transfer 20 - 200

Oil skimming from sea 40 - 400

Dispersant 400 - 500

Oil recovery in ice ?

Off loading of sunken vessel 500 - 1000

Cleaning of beaches 10 000 - 100 000

Conclusion

Technology today can recover oil from sea

surface as long as there is oil on the sea

surface, independent of weather and waves

Skimmer tools are available for all viscosities

Instrumentation for operation day and night are

available to increase the operation time window

All functions should be remotely operated for

safety of people. No people on deck.

Thank you for your attention
