Without question, O'Brien's is the most well known name in response management in the oil and energy industry. Starting from the early days of the company, founder Jim O'Brien established a reputation for excellence in oil spill and industry incident response management. The O'Brien's team grew from this base responding to events to become the leading provider of ICS and NIMS training, response consulting services, planning and management of drills and exercises, regulatory compliance services and crisis communications services through PIER.
