Ipieca convenes industry and stakeholders to identify, develop and promote good practices in operations, joint ventures and the supply chain, covering a full spectrum of environmental issues including biodiversity and ecosystem services, water management, nature positive, impact assessment, circular economy, and marine spill preparedness and response. Ipieca aims to facilitate good environmental practices and advance efficient use of natural resources across the energy transition as oil and gas remains an important part of the energy mix.
Ipieca promotes environmentally responsible operations across the oil, gas and alternative energy sector to advance protection of the natural environment, minimise and mitigate risks and impacts from operations and products, and contribute to nature positive outcomes.
Environmental stewardship
Since 1974, Ipieca has convened industry and stakeholders to work on a broad range of environmental topics associated with oil and gas operations. This allows Ipieca members to identify and address environmental risks and impacts, facilitate the sustainable use of natural resources and promote environmental good practice throughout the supply chain and across the energy transition.
An Incident Management System (IMS) is essential to optimizing response times and efficiency, providing clarity in command and control, improving resource coordination and communications, and facilitating the cooperation and integration of responding organizations.
This document is aimed at those persons responsible for ensuring that oil spill contingency plans are practised and verified, providing guidance on constructing an exercise programme that is suitable for meeting an organization’s or facility’s requirements.
This document identifies the principal health and safety issues when an oil spill occurs, their degree of severity and the practical steps to minimize the impact of the spill.
Ipieca and IOGP members share their companies' experiences in developing and utilising BAPs.
