Use of DREAM (Dose-related Risk and Effects Assessment Model) for modelling of discharges to the marine environment is embraced by Norwegian authorities, and it is in routine use on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), as required by regulators. The DREAM model has been developed by SINTEF with...

We present a novel approach for real-time environmental modelling and monitoring of oil drilling operations. By combining live ocean sensor data, hydrodynamic simulation and discharge modelling in an integrated software solution, an accurate spatially-resolved picture of drilling discharge transport...

Oil droplets may form and disperse in the water column after an accidental spill of crude oil or petroleum products at sea. Micro-sized oil droplets may be available for filter feeding organisms, such as the copepod Calanus finmarchicus, which has been shown to filter oil droplets. In the present...

The objective of this paper is to provide a simple extension of the much-used gravity spreading model for oil on calm water to account for the spreading behavior of waxy crude oils in cold waters – including the observed retardation and eventual termination of spreading at certain oil film...
