OP Response is proud to have participated in the Nawras 2025 National Oil Pollution Exercise, held in Musandamunder the supervision of the Environment Authority and in collaboration with OQ Exploration & Production (OQEP).

In addition to undertaking response operations at several locations, OP personnel were actively deployed to provide command support and technical guidance to participants at other sites, with over 25 OP members actively deployed across the exercise activities. Different response tactics and deployment formations were implemented based on incident conditions and as additional resources became available, demonstrating the proficiency, adaptability, and teamwork of OP’s planners and responders in managing evolving field situations.

The OP Response Support Toolkit (OP RST) was utilised at the Unified Command, providing essential near real time situational awareness to aid decision making and coordination among all participating entities.

As the leading, and the only 100% Omani owned, emergency response service provider, with 12 strategically located response bases along the Omani coastline, OP reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the marine environment and supporting national efforts for rapid and effective incident response.

This participation reflects OP’s ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability into real world action, strengthening national preparedness and safeguarding natural resources. Sustainability is at the core of our DNA.

We are honored to share that OP has been awarded the Gold Award—the highest recognition in the SME category—at the 2025 Oman Sustainability Week – OSW Awards.

This marks our third consecutive win (2023, 2024, 2025), a testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and local impact.

From pioneering oil spill response capabilities to empowering local communities and driving In-Country Value (ICV), we remain deeply rooted in Oman’s sustainable future.

Thank you to our incredible team, partners, and stakeholders for believing in the mission and making this achievement possible.

Together, we continue to Prepare. Preserve. Protect.

OP successfully concluded its participation in the National Oil Spill Response Exercise of Oman, Nawras 2023, which took place in Sohar. The exercise was jointly organized by the Environment Authority supported by MEMAC, and SOHAR Port and Freezone.

Various Emergency Response Teams from OP expertly executed the main operational phases of the exercise at sea and in port, in addition to protecting the water intake of the area’s major desalination plant.

Our experts were key planners at the Incident Command Center and led On-Scene Command at the Forward Command Post for response operations in the port area. They also played major roles as main panel members in the closing session, press conference, and post-exercise debriefing.

This exercise demonstrates the unwavering commitment of all participating agencies and organizations to environmental protection, emergency preparedness, and the ongoing enhancement of their contingency plans and emergency response capabilities.

Oman Petro Environmental Services Company (OP), and Oil Spill Response Ltd (OSRL) are pleased to announce the signing of a Mutual Support Agreement (MSA) in Oil Spill Preparation and Response. The agreement was signed in Muscat on 20th November 2023.

This agreement will facilitate closer  cooperation between OSRL, as a well-established spill preparedness and response industry co-operative, and OP, as the leading spill response service provider in Oman, with an expanding presence in the GCC region.

This collaboration will offer our members more efficient and effective response capabilities, for our members, fostering seamless integration across all three tiers of response.

More importantly, this agreement comes as an important step for ensuring that Oman can rely on our collective efforts. Through these efforts, we aim to achieve a level of preparedness and response that matches the evolving and escalating risks associated with Oman’s expanding role as a key player in the logistics sector and the rapid developments in the Omani energy sector.
