Novel countermeasures for an Arctic offshore well blowout / R. Abdelnour [and three others], Arctec Canada Limited. : En46-3/77-14E-PDF

"The problems of cleaning up oil spilled by an offshore well blowout in the Arctic arereviewed. In-situ burning is recommended as the most promising disposal technique. Various techniques are proposed for holding the oil in a burnable layer. In calm conditions a deep-skirted boom may be suitable, but a floating cargo net is shown to be more suitable for up to 80% ice cover. For 80-100% ice coverage, it is demonstrated analytically and experimentally that oil floating amidst the ice is burnable. In the presence of large floes, techniques for breaking up the ice are proposed to allow gas to escape and oil to be burned"--Abstract, page iii.
