Beschreibung
Section 1 Preface & Introduction
Deep oil, the setting and evolution of exploration and production (emphasis on Gulf of Mexico),
include aspects of the history of deep spills including DWH, IXTOC-I, Brazil, 2011 (Chevron), and "Deep Spill", a field-oriented research project that released oil off Norway.
Section 2 Physics and Chemistry of Deep Oil Blowouts
Impacts of petroleum type (API and GOR), reservoir characteristics (pressures and geometry),
water depth (pressure), water temperature and other factors on multi-phase flows (oil, gas,
semi-solids), including hydrate formation. Formation of deep plumes of oil droplets and
impacts of the use of dispersants in the deep sea.
Section 3. Transport and Degradation of oil from Deep Blowouts
Near- and Far-Field transport modeling (e.g., both height above the blowout, and 4-dimensional
modeling of oil transport at the surface and at depth. These models will incorporate
experimental findings in (2) above and microbial degradation processes.
Section 4. Oil in the Deep Sea
Transport to the bottom, formation of oil/mineral aggregates, oiled marine snow ("dirty
blizzard"), intersection of deep oil plumes with the bathymetry ("dirty bathtub ring"). Biological
exposure impacts on marine benthos.
Section 5. Impacts of Deep Spills on Plankton, Fishes, and Marine Mammals
Impacts on the uptake and depuration of various species monitored over time, community
organization and community dynamics post-spill (including plankton, benthic fishes, pelagic
fishes, and large vertebrates including sea turtles and marine mammals). Impacts of
confounding factors such as invasive species (lionfish) in the area of the DWH spills.
Section 6. Toxicology of Deep Oil Spills
Results of exposure studies, uptake and depuration kienetics under both chronic and acute
(lethal to sub-lethal) exposures and mixtures of both. Genotoxic effects in multigenerational
exposure experiments. Relation to field data, toxicokienetics modeling and impacts on
community structure and population dynamics.
