Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to apply historical data on ice concentration, temperature, sea level, salinity and wind speed to an evaluation of the effectiveness of oil spill responses in various seasons and regions. Keeping operations safe on ice is critical to Arctic exploration and production. Specialized construction techniques and engineering designs are required for the harsh environment in the Arctic. Factors that trigger marine oil spills include accidents involving oil transportation vessels carrying large quantities of fuel oil, releases from on-land storage tanks or pipelines that travel to water, acute or slow releases from subsea pipelines and hydrocarbon well blowouts during subsea exploration or production. In addition, dynamic ice cover, low temperatures, reduced visibility or darkness, high winds and extreme storms increase the probability of a marine oil spill. The Arctic remains among the harshest, coldest and most remote places elevating both the risk of spills and their potential impact. In order to identify effective oil spill strategies, a careful assessment of the benefits, limitations and tradeoffs related to available response techniques must be made. The findings presented here will help stakeholders select appropriate response strategies in the Arctic.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The objective of the study was to develop a methodology for estimating the costs of controlling and cleaning up major oil spills that result from oil-well blowouts in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. The approach taken was first to analyse in detail the spill behaviour and countermeasures associated with four hypothetical, well-defined blowout situations. Spills are described in detail using assumptions on spill size and oil properties based on the character of two known Beaufort Sea oils and reservoir fluids and historical weather and ice data. A sophisticated mathematical/computer model was used to describe the behaviour and fate of the four spills as a function of the various spill conditions such as blowout flowrate, oil type and weather conditions. The above scenario-specific analysis was then used to develop formulae for estimating the countermeasures unit operational costs of any blowout situation in the Beaufort Sea as a function of blowout flowrates and duration, oil properties, time of spill, spill location, etc. The formulae are based on the capability that currently exists within the Beaufort Sea area. Operational costing formulae for the following countermeasures operations are presented. i) Well control operations, ii) offshore near-source oil spill countermeasures (containment and recovery and in-situ burning), iii) shoreline operations (protection and cleanup), iv) surveillance and monitoring, v) oil material disposal. These various formulae are then applied to each of the four selected scenarios to provide estimates of the costs associated with the individual countermeasures unit operations (eg., containment and recovery, shoreline cleanup, etc.)"--ASTIS database.

Book Synopsis Responding to Oil Spills in the U.S. Arctic Marine Environment by : National Research Council
Download or read book Responding to Oil Spills in the U.S. Arctic Marine Environment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. Arctic waters north of the Bering Strait and west of the Canadian border encompass a vast area that is usually ice covered for much of the year, but is increasingly experiencing longer periods and larger areas of open water due to climate change. Sparsely inhabited with a wide variety of ecosystems found nowhere else, this region is vulnerable to damage from human activities. As oil and gas, shipping, and tourism activities increase, the possibilities of an oil spill also increase. How can we best prepare to respond to such an event in this challenging environment? Responding to Oil Spills in the U.S. Arctic Marine Environment reviews the current state of the science regarding oil spill response and environmental assessment in the Arctic region north of the Bering Strait, with emphasis on the potential impacts in U.S. waters. This report describes the unique ecosystems and environment of the Arctic and makes recommendations to provide an effective response effort in these challenging conditions. According to Responding to Oil Spills in the U.S. Arctic Marine Environment, a full range of proven oil spill response technologies is needed in order to minimize the impacts on people and sensitive ecosystems. This report identifies key oil spill research priorities, critical data and monitoring needs, mitigation strategies, and important operational and logistical issues. The Arctic acts as an integrating, regulating, and mediating component of the physical, atmospheric and cryospheric systems that govern life on Earth. Not only does the Arctic serve as regulator of many of the Earth's large-scale systems and processes, but it is also an area where choices made have substantial impact on life and choices everywhere on planet Earth. This report's recommendations will assist environmentalists, industry, state and local policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of this special region to preserve and protect it from damaging oil spills.
Book Synopsis Probable Behaviour and Fate of a Winter Oil Spill in the Beaufort Sea by :
Download or read book Probable Behaviour and Fate of a Winter Oil Spill in the Beaufort Sea written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With increasing levels of offshore petroleum exploration in the Beaufort Sea, there is an urgent need to be able to define the behaviour and fate of a major winter oil spill. Much of the drilling activity centers on the area of dynamic ice called the transition zone, between the 20 and 100-m water contours. This report combines data from a 4-month winter field study of ice conditions, with other sources such as AIDJEX and satellite photography. The resulting "statistical description of ice conditions in the Beaufort Sea is then used to generate a model of oil disposition under a moving ice sheet in the event of an oil blowout. Major areas for future study are identified as oil migration in multi-year ice, the effects of gas on oil behaviour and hourly ice drift rates"--Abstract.
