... ABSTRACT During an oil spill, the dispersed oil droplets undergo aggregation with the marine sediments to form oil-mineral-aggregates (OMAs). In coastal regions, the nature of OMAs depend on the turbulent kinetic energy of the sea state. In this work, we examine the formation of OMA by two...

... ABSTRACT Accidental oil spill is one of the most critical disasters in coastal areas and can cause serious damages to the ecosystem and the economy. The oil spill diffusion is a complex process involving the highly-nonlinear interaction of two fluids with very different properties...

... ABSTRACT We use monitoring data of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) after ten years as indicators to assess the long-term environmental impact of the Dalian "7.16" Oil Spill on seawater and sediments. Compared with the values measured ten years ago, the monitoring PHs concentrations in water...

... Abstract When the oil field development project is too close to the environmental sensitive target, specific safety protection and effective emergency measures have to be taken to prevent the oil spill. Among all the precautions, the containment boom tends to be one of the most effective...

... ABSTRACT Marine oil spill volume and pollution assessment are very important to risk assessment, emergency disposal, accident damage compensation, etc. At present, there is still great controversy on the accuracy and reliability of the marine oil spill volume and pollution assessment. Therefore...

.... In the diffusion scenario, larger ocean current velocities, smaller leak hole diameters and smaller leak velocities give rise to oil droplets' growth. Based on results in this study, constructive suggestions are put forwarded to dispose of oil spill pollution. INTRODUCTION Subsea oil pipelines play...

... the contradictory situation between the overlarge tendency of oil tanker with the limited natural conditions of some ports. Whereas, it's also deemed to be a high pollution risk process, once oil spill occurs, nearby environment of the port tremendously suffering consequently. This paper selects the Qinzhou port...

... risk for side wall buckling that led to oil spill. INTRODUCTION When the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in 2011, a massive tsunami arrived at Miyagi prefecture, and 22 oil storage tanks at Kesennuma bay area were broken and collapsed by the tsunami and a large amount of oil were flowed...

... method is based on the equations of motion of the ship. The method includes considerations of the change in the weight and buoyancy of the ship due to flooding, oil spill from the compartments, cargo load in the compartments, and so on. To check the applicability of the proposed method, comparative tests...

... ABSTRACT A better understanding of how the different input and model parameters affect the oil spill model predictions will help to improve the model performance and thus better assist emergency response and provide insights on ecosystem effects. This research studies the influences of spatial...

... Abstract In this paper, marine oil spills were detected from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images using two separate Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in sequence. The first ANN, i.e., the Back-Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), was employed to segment a SAR image for identifying the dark...

... Abstract The research presented here focuses on the problem of autonomous oil spill tracking in open waters (marine environment) and collecting the metrological data around the spill location for high accuracy prediction of drifting slick, to deploy the oil collecting equipment along the ocean...

... and technical improvement takes a special significance. The main goal of this work is to prevent accidents. The oil and gas companies play a key role by ensuring the ecological safety on sites by projecting infrastructure development thanks to the use of hi-technologies. oil spill response government...

... Abstract The article describes design, development and control of Autonomous tracking of spilled oil on the sea surface and transmission of useful data to a land station in real time by floating buoy robot called "SPILL OIL TRACKING AUTONOMOUS BUOY". Frequent occurrence of major oil spill...

... Abstract The ice seasons of the Bohai Bay have a significant influence on the ocean engineering, oil exploration as well as transportation. The behavior of oil spill and the state of the art of oil spill detection and modeling in ice season were introduced in this paper with the discussion...

... ABSTRACT The potential of wide bubble barriers (raft) as a countermeasure in an oil spill situation has been tested and assessed. The paper describes the final prototype validation with a bubble raft submerged in a strong tidal sound in Norway. The field test showed that the raft was capable...
