INTRODUCTION of multistate and international standard#' This is the basis on which Louisiana might participate in a compact with other Gulf Coast This paper is intended to bean introductory explanation and limited states for prevention of and/or response to oil spills beyond the appraisal of Act 7 of the First Extraordinary Session of the 1991 jurisdiction of the Act Such a compact presently ex...

Oil Spill Response Planning with MINLP

Catastrophic oil spills [1], such as the recent Deepwater BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico [2], have demonstrated the importance of developing responsive and effective oil spill response planning strategies for the oil industry and the government. Although a few models have been developed for oil-spill response planning, response operations and the oil weathering process are usually considere...

Model-based Control of Multiphase Flow in Subsurface Oil Reservoirs

An emerging method to increase the recovery of oil from subsurface reservoirs is the application of measurement and control techniques to better control the multiphase flow in the reservoir over the entire production period. In particular the use of sensors and remotely controllable valves in wells and at surface, in combination with large-scale reservoir flow models is promising. Various eleme...

Bioremediation of Oil Spill

At present, petroleum hydrocarbon is one of the most serious Abstract: environmental problem. Oil spill occurring accidently in the ocean during transportation or other working places like refineries causes great threat to the flora and fauna existing nearby. Modern methods of remediation such as incineration, land filling, burning, etc. are expensive as well as their byproducts produced are of...
