Cover Story: The Deepwater Horizon (DwH) accident involved the Macondo well (MC 252) blow-out on 22 April, 2010 and resulted in a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In the decade following this incident, many scientific advances, many of them resulting from work funded by the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI), have been made in support of operational oil spill modeling, a crucial component of oil spill response. This paper provides a synthesis of these advances, focusing on the Gulf of Mexico, but in the context of international best practices. It reviews the state-of-the-art of operational modeling before DwH; establishes the advances already made and/or now achievable as a result of recent research; and identifies desirable future developments, the opportunities for achieving them, and remaining gaps in the knowledge and technology required.

Application of the SOSim v2 Model to Spills of Sunken Oil in Rivers

  • Mary Jacketti,
  • James D. Englehardt and
  • C.J. Beegle-Krause

22 September 2020

Sunken oil transport processes in rivers differ from those in oceans, and currently available models may not be generally applicable to sunken oil in river settings. The open-source Subsurface Oil Simulator (SOSim) model has been expanded to handle s...
