This paper represents part two of a series regarding the development of emergency response and contingency plans for oil and gas well blowouts. The first paper dealt with developing plans to prevent blowouts and developing blowout task forces to respond when one occurred. This paper deals with the logistics of the transport of personnel and equipment to the blowout site. The paper describes a plan to identify the best sources of personnel, equipment, and services prior to a blowout. Services include methods for establishing emergency billing, cash flow and credit assistance, hazardous duty pay, welding and fabrication equipment, etc. The paper also discusses the need to plan and establish base camps at the blowout sites, the logistics of establishing this base camp, and establishing viable communications to these base camps.
