Presentation for thePetroleum Association of JapanOil Spill SymposiumFebruary 2008
1Phase 2 Development• Piltun-B platform.
• Piltun-A year round production.
• Lunskoye-A platform.
• Onshore processing facility (OPF).
• Oil and gas pipelines.
• LNG plant and oil export terminal.

Sakhalin Energy Oil Spill Response: Objectives• To establish a world class OSR system that will

provide the best possible protection to theenvironment in the event of a spill.
• To establish a scientifically based andpractically focussed work programme that willsustain longer term development of OSR within
SEIC, on Sakhalin and within the region.
• To cooperate with municipal, Sakhalin Oblastand Russian Federal authorities in developing
wider OSR capabilities.

Sakhalin Energy Response Preparedness
Sakhalin Energy response capability is supported by:• Sakhalin Energy Emergency Response Organisation• Participation in the RF Unified Command• Oil Spill Response Plans and supporting documents• OSR Work Programme• OSR Equipment Stockpile and Professional OS Responders• International equipment and personnel resources of Oil Spill
Response Limited (OSRL, UK) & East Asia Response Limited(EARL, Singapore)• Cooperative OSR agreement with ENL and MoU with other oilcompanies on Sakhalin Island• MoU with Marine Disaster Prevention Centre of Japan• Spill prevention systems; hardware coupled with operating
and maintenance procedures

• Biodegradation• In Situ Burning• Effectiveness of Chemical Dispersants
9Oil Spill Response in Ice Conditions• The presence of ice does present challenges
for OSR. High ice cover inhibits access by
response vessels and also limits the range ofrecovery devices that can be deployed.
• High ice cover also inhibits the spread of oiland slows trajectory.
• Sakhalin Energy has reviewed, and iscontinuing to review the available equipment foroil recovery in ice conditions. These are being
assessed against the conditions that exist
offshore and onshore Sakhalin Island.
• Ongoing development is carried out throughcontinuing Oil in Ice studies and participation inindustry R & D programmes.

Prigorodnoye: Marine and Shoreline Response• Offshore, shoreline and near shore response equipment is stored at
the marine emergency response depot.
• The list of equipment is extensive including small landing craft variousbooms, skimmers, temporary oil spill storage tanks and sorbents, withtotal of approx 150 different items stored in a dedicated warehouse.

Prigorodnoye Marine Emergency Response Depot• Line boats are 15m inlength, 1.5m draft and with 8
tonnes bollard pull ideal forease of deployment and toassist tugs with “J” typeformation of boom.

• Boom ramp is integral withmarine base allowing twobooms to be set up ready for
immediate deployment.

OSR Trans-boundary Issues

Potential for oil spills to enter Japanese waters.
SEIC have modelled spills in Aniva Bay and La Perouse
Strait as well as northeast Sakhalin.
Cross border response coordination.
- MoU with Marine Disaster Prevention Center of Japan- Hokkaido Regional Oil Spill Response Plan
- Spill reporting to Lenders, Shareholders and MDPCInformation Sharing

General Approach Strategies and methods in OSRPs are based on
existing and proven techniques.
 Strategies and equipment selected represent
world’s best practice and best availabletechnology.
 Sakhalin Energy OSR continues to assess newtechnology with a view to acquiring this andincorporating it into OSRPs.
 This an ongoing process and an ongoingcommitment.
