متن يادداشت

This book describes and applies state-of-the-art software designed to help balance cost and profit estimates against risk in the petrochemical industry using oil extracted from ocean bottom deposits. Though renewable energy is a growing piece of the energy "pie," fossil fuels still dominate our energy supplies and will continue to do so for decades. This makes offshore drilling, especially in places like the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea, extremely important for the future of the world's energy supply. Unfortunately, the world has been witnessing, over and over again, oil spills that could have been avoided had proper safety and environmental processes been put in place. Rather than wait for another mishap to occur, the authors of this groundbreaking volume have devised new, cutting-edge methods for mitigating risk against such accidents, while weighing the risks against costs. Oil Spill Risk Management is a major tool for petroleum engineers, operators, investors, insurers, environmentalists, and managers to provide guidelines for the economically and environmentally intensive issues involved. New approaches are used that advance modeling and prediction, and are of interest to the ocean and engineering scientific communities. The authors are motivated by the applicability of coupled state-of-the-art ocean and oil material transport models to hindcast and forecast the transport of oil spill material such as from the BP/Macondo well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. This includes suspended material in depths deeper than the Florida Strait sill level that is trapped in the Gulf of Mexico for decades to centuries due to earth rotation and buoyancy constraints, and material deposited on its bottom; this material escapes episodically in response to major storm events that break those constraints. A must for any engineer working in offshore risk management, this groundbreaking volume is an important tool that offers practical solutions to these very difficult, but timely, problems. Oil Spill Risk Management contains applications of a state-of-the-art ocean flow model coupled to a state-of-the-art oil spill model in order to: simulate and illustrate geophysical fluid dynamics relevant to transport of blowout material, including bottom deposited and deeply suspended material that is appropriate for ecosystem risk assessment, better demonstrate simulation of the BP/Macondo blowout material transport over any other model, assess oil spill initialization and predictability-a first in ocean modeling, assess risk for strong currents that may threaten oil rigs at specified sites, which is of major value to oil rig engineers, operators, and investors Book jacket
