Probable behaviour and fate of a winter oil spill in the Beaufort Sea / NORCOR Engineering and Research Limited.: En46-4/77-5E-PDF
"With increasing levels of offshore petroleum exploration in the Beaufort Sea, there is an urgent need to be able to define the behaviour and fate of a major winter oil spill. Much of the drilling activity centers on the area of dynamic ice called the transition zone, between the 20 and 100-m water contours. This report combines data from a 4-month winter field study of ice conditions, with other sources such as AIDJEX and satellite photography. The resulting "statistical description of ice conditions in the Beaufort Sea is then used to generate a model of oil disposition under a moving ice sheet in the event of an oil blowout. Major areas for future study are identified as oil migration in multi-year ice, the effects of gas on oil behaviour and hourly ice drift rates"--Abstract.
