Yme – Weathering properties and behaviour at sea In relation to oil spill response

Abstract

A standardized bench-scale (5 and 13 °C) including dispersibility testing has been conducted on the Yme crude oil. A supplementary meso-scale flume testing was also included at 13 °C. The laboratory data were further used as input to the SINTEF Oil Weathering Model (OWM) for weathering and dispersibility predictions from a surface release of Yme at sea at 5 and 15 °C, reflecting winter and summer conditions. The weathering properties of Yme are also discussed in relation to oil spill response.
