NOFO is an oil spill response organisation etablished by
the operating companies on the Norwegian continental
shelf. NOFO’s objective is environmental protection. The
organisation ensures that the authorities oil spill recovery
guidelines are followed. This is undertaken on behalf of,
and together with, the operating companies.

Recover oil in all weather conditions as long as the oil is floating on
surface.
FRAMO philosophy:
Oil spill in open sea:
What is the challenge?
FRAMO TransRec High Capacity Oil Recovery System
Open deck installation
Garage installation
Selection of skimmer for open sea oil recovery
Selection of skimmer for open sea oil recovery
Low to medium viscous oil
News;
Macondo experience
Selection of skimmer for open sea oil recovery
High viscocity oil
Norwegian authorities allow testing of equipment with oil, in the open sea
TransRec 150 with Weir Skimmer Head
– NOFO Oil on water excercise 2003
Operate in low visibility
If we can ”see” and measure what we are doing during operation,
we may increase the overall efficiency by a factor of 2
To operate ”blindfolded”, the equipment should have:
- oil thickness meter
- oil/water phase meter in discharge line
- oil slick positions from surveillance helicopter
The philosophy:
FRAMO factory test of HiVisc Skimmer head.
Pumping 50.000 cSt – 220m3/hr
Obtain, store, analyze and report data from the skimmer
The philosophy:
Transfer of recovered oil in open sea to Storage Vessel

ROLS – Remote off loading of sunken vessels
Contingency Strategy and where to invest your money?
Average Cost in US$/ton from different oil spills.
Emergency transfer 20 - 200
Oil skimming from sea 40 - 400
Dispersant 400 - 500
Oil recovery in ice ?
Off loading of sunken vessel 500 - 1000
Cleaning of beaches 10 000 - 100 000
Conclusion
Technology today can recover oil from sea
surface as long as there is oil on the sea
surface, independent of weather and waves
Skimmer tools are available for all viscosities
Instrumentation for operation day and night are
available to increase the operation time window
All functions should be remotely operated for
safety of people. No people on deck.
Thank you for your attention
