Growing concerns over the risk of accidental releases of oil into the marine environment
have emphasized our need to improve both oil spill preparedness and response strategies …

Following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident of a massive blow-out in the Gulf of Mexico,
scientists from government, industry, and academia collaborated to advance oil spill …

Whether the result of an oil well blowout, vessel collision or grounding, leaking pipeline, or
other incident at sea, each marine oil spill will present unique circumstances and …

The increasing oil demand and busy waterways highlight the importance of oil spill
preparedness and responses. Dispersants attract attention as an effective response tool to …

Natural attenuation is an important process for oil spill management in marine environments.
Natural attenuation affects the fate of oil by physical, chemical, and biological processes …

Dispersants are among a number of options available to oil spill responders. The goals of
this technique are to remove oil from surface waters in order to reduce exposure of surface …

Small-scale experiments performed at SINTEF, Norway in 2011–12 led to the development
of a modified Weber scaling algorithm. The algorithm predicts initial oil droplet sizes (d 50) …

Abstract The 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill remains the largest catastrophic release of oil
and gas into the deep sea. The irrupted oil and gas substantially impact a marine …

Shale gas has become one of the most important natural gas resources. The Sichuan Basin
in China is one of the main shale gas production areas and has entered large-scale …

Explaining the dynamics of gas-saturated live petroleum in deep water remains a challenge.
Recently, Pesch et al.[Environ. Eng. Sci. 2018, 35 (4), 289–299] reported laboratory …
