The Agency
implements Tier 3 Oil Spill Response System, as well as
regulates and monitors Tiers 1 and 2 which are oil spill
response system of individual oil companies and
co-operatives (Clean Nigeria Associates) respectively.
The levels of oil spill response managed by the three-tier
systems are as follows:-
Tier One
Operational type spills, less than or
equal to 7 metric tones (50 barrels), that may occur at or
near a company’s own facility, as a consequence of its own
activities. An individual company would typically, and
under OPRC, provide resources to respond to this size of
spill.

Tier Two
A larger spill, greater than 7 metric tonnes ( 50 barrels)
but less than 700 metric tonnes (5000 barrels), in the
vicinity of a company’s facility where resources from
another company, industry and possible government response
Agencies in the area can be called in, on a mutual aid
basis. The company will participate in local
co-operatives such as the Clean Nigeria Associates (CNA)
where each member pools its Tier 1 resources and has access
to any equipment which have been jointly procured for the
co-operative.
Tier Three
The large spill, greater than 700 metric tonnes (5000 barrels), where substantial further resources will be required and support from a National (Tier 3) or International Co-operative Stockpile, like the Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL), may be necessary. Such operation is subject to government control and direction. It is important to recognize that a spill which receives a Tier 3 response may be close to, or remote from company facilities.
