Sensitivity mapping for oil spill response

The mapping of the sensitivity of the environment to accidental oil pollution is an essential step in oil pollution preparedness, response and cooperation efforts, and maps are a crucial tool to assist responders during an incident. This guidance document aims at providing a structured approach to successfully manage the development of oil spill sensitivity maps, integrated within the oil spill contingency plan, and indicates key elements to be included in each type of map.

Preparing effective flare management plans: Guidance document for the oil and gas industry

This publication draws on the experience and expertise of the industry, through IPIECA and OGP, and the World Bank-led Global Gas Flaring Reduction Public-Private partnership (GGFR). It is the product of a cooperative effort between the IPIECA GHG Emissions Task Force and GGFR to create a guidance document to support flare reduction efforts by petroleum producers and governments worldwide. The key to addressing gas flaring is the identification of project activities that can successfully bring the gas to more productive use, and the expansion of potential solutions from those attainable by individual oil field operators to solutions that fully employ the capabilities of operators and governments working together.

Local content strategy: a guidance document for the oil and gas industry

Many oil and gas producing states are introducing requirements for ‘local content’ into their regulatory frameworks. These requirements aim to create jobs, promote enterprise development and accelerate the transfer of skills and technologies. Local content has therefore become a strategic issue for the oil and gas industry—presenting both challenges and opportunities. This guidance document is based on IPIECA members’ efforts to develop good practice in managing local content. It is aimed at practitioners and other company representatives with responsibility for this objective.
