State of knowledge review Basin testing to evaluate dispersants in ice: Evaluation of dispersant injection for well

control events Bench-top testing to evaluate dispersant

effectiveness after oil or oil-dispersant mixtures have been frozen in or on ice

Definition of the regulatory and permitting requirements for dispersant use in Arctic countries

3

Literature review to determine availability of suitable modeling data.

Model selection. Collection of new data needed to run and validate the model; primary need is expected to be field data of natural under-ice turbulence.

Modeling of surface and subsurface dispersant use scenarios.

Reporting and submission to peer reviewed journals.

Preliminary testing in Sintef tower

1. Dispersant was effective at reducing droplet size even with low DOR’s (1:100)2. Injection wands were effective 3. Removing solvent IMPROVES dispersant effectiveness4. Injecting dispersant over 5 pipe diameters above discharge point was effective

9

Focus: Evaluate the biodegradation and toxicity of dispersants & dispersed oil on deepwater communities

Summarize previous research on dispersed oil biodegradation and toxicity

Identify relevant deepwater test organisms and develop appropriate testing protocols

Conduct biodegradation and toxicity tests on water samples and species representative of depth

10

Focus: Enhance existing numerical tools to model dispersed oil plumes resulting from subsea injection

Contracted with experts from MIT/TAMU/ NJIT too Evaluate existing droplet submodels and

validate against lab & field studieso Hold a workshop to review results to discuss

inclusion of our preferred droplet submodel into integrated model (e.g. ASA, NOAA, etc.)

o Evaluate integrated oil fate & transport models commonly used by the Industry

Focus: Develop tools to communicate the results of subsea dispersant injection research externally

Education fact sheets have been developedEach project has a Technical Advisory Team to foster

transparencyProject NewslettersConduct workshops including a NEBA workshop at

the end of the project
