experimental l band airborne sar for Oil Spill Response at sea and in coastal waters
Sensors, 2018Co-Authors: Cathleen E Jones, Benjamin HoltAbstract:Satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is frequently used during Oil Spill Response efforts to identify Oil slick extent, but suffers from the major disadvantages of potential long latency between when a Spill occurs and when a satellite can image the site and an inability to continuously track the Spill as it develops. We show using data acquired with the Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle SAR (UAVSAR) instrument how a low noise, high resolution, L-band SAR could be used for Oil Spill Response, with specific examples of tracking slick extent, position and weathering; determining zones of relatively thicker or more emulsified Oil within a slick; and identifying Oil slicks in coastal areas where look-alikes such as calm waters or biogenic slicks can confound the identification of mineral Oil Spills. From these key points, the essential features of an airborne SAR system for operational Oil Spill Response are described, and further research needed to determine SAR’s capabilities and limitations in quantifying slick thickness is discussed.

a high level synthesis of Oil Spill Response equipment and countermeasures
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2004Co-Authors: Nikolaos P Ventikos, Emmanouil Vergetis, Harilaos N Psaraftis, G TriantafyllouAbstract:This paper presents an operational synthesis of major Oil Spill Response methods (mechanical, chemical, etc.) and the corresponding Oil Response equipment for sea context (booms, skimmers, etc.). We focus on important features of Oil Spill Response, in order to formulate a decision-based database, capable of supporting the development of a complete Oil Spill Response operation. Moreover, we classify these findings and introduce simple formatting and standards to supply predictive tools for Oil Spill models. The actual goal of this paper is to come up with a decision-driven process, which can provide for a realistic choice of Oil Spill Response equipment in the design of the primary Oil Response phase. This is intended to lead to a prompt, logical, and well-prepared Oil Spill Response operation satisfying time and cost criteria and protecting the marine environment.

Continuing to Improve Oil Spill Response in the Arctic: A Joint Industry Programme
Sustainable Shipping in a Changing Arctic, 2018Co-Authors: Joseph V MullinAbstract:For more than 50 years, the Oil and gas industry has funded and conducted research to improve Oil Spill Response technologies and methodologies with industry, government, academia, and stakeholders jointly involved. This research has included hundreds of studies, laboratory and basin experiments and field trials, specifically in the United States, Canada and Scandinavia. Recent examples include the SINTEF Oil in Ice JIP (2006–2009) and research conducted at Ohmsett—The National Oil Spill Response Research and Renewable Energy Test Facility. This sustained and frequently collaborative effort is not commonly known and recognised by those outside the field of Oil Spill Response.

Research to Improve Oil Spill Response in the Arctic - A Joint Industry Programme
OTC Arctic Technology Conference, 2015Co-Authors: Joseph V MullinAbstract:For more than 50 years, the Oil and gas industry has funded and conducted research to improve Oil Spill Response technologies and methodologies with industry, government, academia, and stakeholders jointly involved. This research has included hundreds of studies, laboratory and basin experiments and field trials, specifically in the United States, Canada and Scandinavia. Recent examples include the SINTEF Oil in Ice JIP (2006-2009) http://www.sintef.no/Projectweb/JIP-Oil-In-Ice/Publications and research conducted at Ohmsett The National Oil Spill Response Research and Renewable Energy Test Facility www.ohmsett.com/activities.html. This sustained and frequently collaborative effort is not commonly known and recognized by those outside the field of Oil Spill Response. To build on this existing research and continue improving the technologies and methodologies for arctic Oil Spill Response, nine international Oil and gas companies (BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, ExxonMobil, North Caspian Operating Company (NCOC), Shell, StatOil, and Total) are working collaboratively in the Arctic Oil Spill Response Technology Joint Industry Programme (JIP). The goal is to advance arctic Oil Spill Response strategies and equipment as well as to increase understanding of potential impacts of Oil on the marine environment. The programme is coordinated by an Executive Steering Committee comprising representatives from each company. The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (OGP) is providing project management expertise. The world’s foremost experts on Oil Spill Response, development, and operations from across industry, academia, and independent scientific institutions are being engaged to perform the scientific research. The JIP has completed phase one that included technical assessments and state of knowledge reviews in the following six areas: dispersants, environmental effects, trajectory modelling, remote sensing, mechanical recovery, and in situ burning (ISB). Nine research reports are available on the JIP website (www.arcticResponsetechnology.org) that identified and summarized the state-ofknowledge and regulatory status for using dispersants, remote sensing and ISB in the Arctic. Phase two activities are now underway including laboratory, small and medium scale tank tests, and field research. Eleven projects are in progress ranging from dispersant effectiveness testing; modelling the fate of dispersed Oil in ice; assessing the environmental effects of an arctic Oil Spill; advancing Oil Spill modelling trajectory capabilities in ice; extending the capability to detect and map Oil in darkness, low visibility, in and under ice; improving efficiency of mechanical recovery equipment in ice; chemical herder fate and effects; and expanding the ‘window of opportunity’ for ISB Response operations. This paper presents recent JIP progress.

Advancing Oil Spill Response in Arctic Conditions: The Arctic Oil Spill Response Technology - Joint Industry Programme
International Oil Spill Conference Proceedings, 2014Co-Authors: Joseph V MullinAbstract:ABSTRACT The Oil and gas industry has made significant advances in being able to detect, contain and clean up Spills in arctic environments. To further build on existing research and improve the technologies and methodologies for arctic Oil Spill Response, nine Oil and gas companies (BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, ExxonMobil, North Caspian Operating Company, Shell, StatOil, and Total) established the Arctic Oil Spill Response Technology Joint Industry Programme (JIP). The goal of the JIP is to advance arctic Oil Spill Response strategies and equipment as well as to increase understanding of potential impacts of Oil on the arctic marine environment. Officially launched in January 2012 at the Arctic Frontiers Conference in Tromso, Norway, the JIP has six technical working groups (TWG) each focusing on a different key area of Oil Spill Response: dispersants; environmental effects; trajectory modeling; remote sensing; mechanical recovery and in-situ burning (ISB). There is also a field research TWG to purs...
