Investigation of the spreading tendency of emulsified oil slicks on open systems

Lin Zhao et al.

Summary: The properties and stability of water-in-oil emulsions have a significant impact on oil behavior and response decisions. Lab protocols that assess emulsion stability in closed systems may not fully represent oil behavior in the open sea. The spreading of emulsions and their stability were found to be influenced by temperature and environmental conditions.

Oil fate and mass balance for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill

Deborah P. French-McCay et al.

Summary: According to oil fate modeling of the Deepwater Horizon spill, the majority of the oil either surfaced or entered the deep plume sediment. A small percentage was removed by responders, and a portion remained in the water column. Non-volatile and soluble fractions degraded by the end of August, leaving residual oil to potentially settle. The model estimates were validated through field observations of floating oil and atmospheric emissions.
