Title | : | PAJ Oil Symposium '98 'Recent Oil spills on the Oil Route and their Implications in PAJ' | ||||
Date | : | October 7, Wed. & 8, Thu., 1998 | ||||
Venue | : | Hotel Okura (South Wing, Lower ground floor two, the "Akebono" room) 2-10-4, Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-8416, Japan
| ||||
Objectives | : | Since last year two major oil spill incidents occurred around the Singapore Straits and Straits of Hormuz which are vital points on the oil route to Japan. The Petroleum Association of Japan(PAJ) participated in the cleaning-up operations of these incidents by quickly lending equipments from its bases to tackle the spills. In recognition of these contributions, the PAJ had honor to receive commemorative plaque from Maritime and Port Authority(MPA) of Singapore and a letter of appreciation from Abu Dhabi National Oil Company(ADNOC). In this Symposium, those involved in these incidents will give presentations on the outline of the cases, their response, and oil spill response systems in those area. The objectives of this symposium are to make the most of this information to help our response for any future accidents in Japan, and also to study the way for Japan's cooperation in this field through joint exercises so on. | ||||

Notice
All participants of the symposium will receive a free CD-ROM containing the results of studies on how spilled oil changes by weathering processes. In this symposium, the PAJ will deliver a presentation on its study, "Introduction of Accumulated Data regarding Changes of Spilled Oil by Weathering Processes ." The CD-ROM will contain data from this study as well as data on the changes of 26 types of crude oil and 1 C heavy fuel oil by weathering processes which the PAJ has gathered up to 1997 (including 864 pictures). |
