The interaction of crude oil and natural gas with laboratory-grown saline ice / F. Purves, Arctec Canada Limited, Kanata, Ontario.: En46-4/78-9E-PDF
"Norman Wells crude oil and natural gas were injected under 35 cm of saline ice in the laboratory, and 20 cm of additional ice was grown under the oil and gas. The oil was observed to spread in a thin layer on the under-surface of the gas bubble. When the sheet was thawed, the gas was observed to escape when the minimum temperature in the ice sheet rose to -3.6°C, and this caused the release of a few drops of oil. The bulk of the oil, however, emerged at the same time as a pure oil spill in a control experiment. It is concluded that the presence of gas greatly increases the area over which spilled oil will surface, but does not affect the timing of its appearance"--Abstract.
