چکیده

this paper presents results analyses of specific potential blowout scenarios for subsea oilpipelines between the coast of mainland of iran and khark island in the persian gulf. the analyses have been carried out with the sintef oil spill contingency and response (oscar) 3-dimensional model system.some hypothetical three-day blowout scenarios with light and heavy iranian oil have been investigated in this study. results related to scenarios demonstrate that wind is the major agent for advection and spreading of oil in the area. within a few days, a large part of oil will evaporate; significant part will pollute the marine environment by depositing at subsea as sediment and hit the area beach. also some oil spill scenarios are investigated to evaluate potential effect of oil spill operation planning for response actions in decreasing potential consequences. mechanical recovery equipment systems decrease the environmental potential effects of spilled oil but do not eliminate it completely. also dispersant vessels and dispersant aircrafts actions decrease potential of surface effects, but result in increasing the oil in the water column and increasing deposited oil on the seabed. this study is an objective basis for analyses of planed response actions and strategies for decreasing environmental consequences of spilled oil on khark island area.

Hydrodynamic Simulation of Oil Blowout and Response Action to Evaluate Environmental Consequences on Prawns

A scenario-specific modeling of oil blowout from the Khark island pipelines in the Persian Gulf has been carried out to evaluate the environmental impact of oil spill on the local coast, seabed and prawns. Also, various scenarios for response actions have been considered. The analyses have been performed by SINTEF Oil Spill Contingency and Response (OSCAR), a 3-dimensional model system. At the ...

Numerical Modeling of Oil Slick Spread in the Persian Gulf

An oil spill model coupled with a hydrodynamic model was developed to simulate the spread of oil slick in real marine conditions considering the effects of tidal currents, wind and wave. The hydrodynamic model is verified using the measurements of tidal elevations and current speeds at the Persian Gulf. Effect of various governing factors on oil slick movement, tidal currents, wind and wave, ar...
