The oil industry associations IPIECA and IOGP have jointly produced a comprehensive set of resources covering oil spill preparedness and response.
The main IPIECA and IOGP publications are 'Good Practice Guidelines (GPGs)', with more detailed Technical Reports for some specific subject areas. There are also high-level Glance / Scan materials available as PowerPoint or video files.
All these resources are available to download or view below. The Good Practice Guidelines are shown in BOLD and marked "GPG"
