Introducción
When a major emergency occurs, no single organization can always provide every resource required to respond effectively. Well-designed Mutual Aid Plans enable companies to share personnel, equipment, and expertise, strengthening preparedness while improving the speed and effectiveness of emergency response.
Join this international webinar to discover the “Arpel Guideline - Mutual Aid Plans among Companies in Case of Oil Spills and Other Emergencies” and its Mutual Aid Plans Template, a practical framework that helps organizations establish, implement, exercise, and continuously improve mutual aid arrangements for oil spills and other emergencies.
Designed for the entire oil and gas value chain —from upstream and offshore operations to pipelines, terminals, transportation and refining— the Arpel framework integrates strategic planning, governance, and operational implementation into a flexible methodology that can be adapted to different organizational structures, regulatory environments, and operational contexts.
Whether supporting cooperation among companies within the same country or enabling cross-border mutual assistance, the Guideline provides practical solutions to make collaboration operationally effective when it matters most.
The webinar will also feature two industry real-world case studies showcasing the challenges, lessons learned, and benefits of developing successful mutual aid arrangements:
- GeoPark (Colombia) – Mutual aid cooperation plans in practice.
- Petrobras (Brazil) – Campos Basin Area Plan: How to benefit from a regulatory requirement to build up an effective mutual aid plan.
If your organization is looking to strengthen emergency preparedness, optimize the use of specialized response resources, and enhance resilience through collaboration, this webinar will provide practical guidance and real-world experience to help you move from mutual aid agreements to effective mutual aid capability.
