SPCC Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasure Plans

SPCC Plan – Spill Plans – EPA 40 CFR 112 Requirements

OBECTIVE AND MISSION STATEMENT

My objective is to provide to not only the oil and gas producer and operators, but also the oil & gas drilling firms, work over and pulling unit services industry, the pipeline industry, the bulk storage facilities, and all other firms required to provide a spill plan for their operation, the expert field engineering necessary to more than adequately meet and exceed the EPA’s requirements. My experience in the oil & gas and energy industry is varied and quite extensive. While SPCC plans are not the most difficult things to produce, a complete understanding of a facility or operation is essential to understand the functions of the equipment and the potential events which could be the cause and affect of an oil spill or salt water or chemical contamination. For example, I once was asked by a café waiter that was attempting to provide spill plans if I knew what a "Lact Unit" was? My response was that not only did I know what a lact unit is, but I also know how to steal oil from a lact unit. When people do not understand the meaning of simple abbreviations such as "BS&W", they really should not be providing SPCC plans to producers whom will be liable in case of an error on their part.

My earliest years in the oil patch were with my grandfather who was a pumper for Carter Oil. We lived in Carter Camp in Seminole, Oklahoma, and I have spent many weekends and summer days on oil leases.

Later, while working as a roustabout and well service hand and as a roughneck on drilling rigs as employment while attending college, my knowledge and experience of the oil and gas industry grew immensely. And after college while working as a production consultant from Canada to the Gulf, I have had the opportunity to observe and learn what allows me today to be able to provide an expert SPCC plan for most any type of operation.

Today, the EPA is very active in ensuring compliance with their mandated regulations. In order to do so, due to the high number of facilities required to have SPCC plans, the use of helicopters allow them to easily fly over your installation and visually determine if your tank battery is within compliance. Should lightning strike your facility, or you happen to have a fire or an unavoidable oil spill that is reported, then you will be asked to present at that time your SPCC plan and a copy of your annual lease inspection. The annual lease inspection provides documentation of the facility equipment. Should you not be able to produce a copy of your SPCC plan and annual lease inspection, the EPA will most assuredly fine the operator or producer.

Shall endeavor to provide the best field engineering of a facility in order to draft the best Spill Plan at the least cost to the owner operator. Best service provided at the least cost and expense to the facility operator.
