摘要: |
The Pipeline Oil Spill Volume Estimator includes two methods that can be used to calculate the amount of oil that will escape from a leaking pipeline. The Pocket Guide and an associated computer model were developed under a contract funded by the Minerals Management Service. The 'Initial' volume calculation method is intended to be a first best guess on the amount of oil that has been released so that spill responders can mobilize adequate equipment to the spill site. It is to be used when data on the event are limited and quick decisions on response strategy are mandatory to minimize spill impacts. The 'Advanced' method allows for the refinement of the spill volume estimate as the spill response proceeds. More variables are required, but the refined estimate will provide a more realistic volume for assisting in developing response strategies and revising incident action plans. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Well Flow Dynamics, Oslo (Norway).
