摘要

The primary objective of this study was to develop mathematical descriptions of the persistence of crude oil spills at sea in open water, as a function of spill size, based on a statistical analysis of historical data. An in-depth survey of reports of oil spill incidents throughout the world was completed. Major oil spill incidents since 1967 have generated an immense amount of literature, but reliable information on oil slick persistence is rare. Of the final incident list that met the study criteria, 13 were releases from tankers and 7 were oil well blowouts. In addition to these, a list of 12 small experimental spills was compiled, for which good data existed. Correlation analyses were carried out on the three data sets and, although they by no means gave definitive results because of their small size, they did indicate the relative importance of different variables and their dependencies. Regression analysis with the three data sets showed that:rnFor spills greater than or equal to 1000 barrels in size: PD_(≥1000bbl) = 0.0001S - 1.32T + 33.1 For spills less than 1000 barrels in size:rnPD_( < 1000bbl) = 0.0034S + 2.02 Where PD = Spill persistence in days S = Spill size in barrels T = Water temperature in degrees Celsius.rnThe 95% confidence intervals for the first equation are extremely large: for a 200,000 bbl spill at 10℃ the predicted range is from 1 day to 83 days. Neither wind speed nor countermeasures had a significant effect on persistence. Estimates of statistical significance and 95% confidence intervals for the predictors were calculated and cumulative distribution function plots were prepared for several spill sizes.rnThe above predictions apply to spills of most crude oils. Some crude oils are very light, with an API Gravity exceeding 45.5°. Some of these very light crudes, or condensates have high Pour Points, and these would persist if they were spilled on water colder than their Pour Point. Many very light crudes, or condensates, have Pour Points that are less than ambient temperature and are likely to dissipate in less than one day.
