| Subject | Chemical Dispersibility of OCS Crude Oils in Non-Breaking Waves, Part 1 Determining the Limiting Oil Viscosity for Dispersion in Non-Breaking |
| Performing Activity | S.L. Ross Environmental Research Ltd. |
| Principal Investigator | Dr. Ken Trudel, Mr. Randy Belore and Mr. Alun Lewis |
| Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
| Estimated Completion | Completed |
| Description |
Project will determine whether chemically treated low-viscosity OCS crude
oils disperse in a non-breaking wave environmental and if so, to determine
whether there is a limiting oil viscosity for chemical dispersion for OCS
crude oils in non-breaking waves. Related work is planned in an ExxonMobil sponsored project coordinated under the Petroleum Environmental Research Forum (PERF). Every effort will be made to coordinate the present study with PERF work. To this end, one of the model oils used in the ExxonMobil PERF study will be included in all phases of testing in the present study. |
| Progress |
Test oils have been identified and procured. Small wave tank tests will be
conducted in June 2005. Large wave tanks tests were successfully conducted
at Ohmsett from June 27-July 15, 2005. The final report has been
accepted by MMS. This project is complete.
