SRC Risk informatics Hydrometcentre of Russia SOI AA RI SIMULATION OF the behavior of oil spills IN THE COURSE OF OIRFP "Prirazlomnaya“ operatiOn. Assessment OF the possibility of emergency REsPONSE related to oil spills Moscow 2012
Sources and Scenarios of oil spillS According to the Customer's initial data the following sources and scenarios of oil spills are to be considered: • oil spill in an open uncontrolled flowing wells – 1,500 tonsin 72 hours; • oil spill resulting from a tanker accident – 10,000 tonsin 120 hours; • oil spill resulting from temporary storage leakage of oil at the OIRFP – 16,000 tonsin 120 hours.
RISK OF EMISSIONS BY ACCIDENTS AT WELLS Distribution of time needed to recover control over flowing well
RISK OF OIL SPILL FROM TANKER ACCIDENT Probability of zero spills in collisions and landings tankers with deadweght of60 ,000 tons – 0.81 Revised Interim Guidelines for the Approval of Alternative Methods of Design andConstruction of Oil tankers under Regulation 13F (5) of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 ResolutionIMOMEPC.110(49), 2003 Estimating probability of a spill with volume of 10,000 tons for tankers with a deadweight of 60,000 tons - http://efficiensea.org Average volume of spills in collisions and landings of tankers with a deadweight of 60,000 tons – 5,169tons, probability of exceedance – 8,5×10-5 Probability of spills 10,000 tons or more in collisions and landings of tankers with a deadweight of 60,000 tons – 2.5×10-5 ×(1-0.81) = 4.85×10-6
OIL FEATURES According to: Oil and gas condensate in Russia. Handbook. Volume 1. Oil in European part of Russia and gas condensate in Russia. Ed. K.A. Demidenko. Moscow: Pbl.h. "Tehnika", 2000. Emissions of reservoir water is not taken into account (the initial period of operation)
BASIC DATE For the calculation we used data from NCEP / NCAR reanalysis for a 10-year period from 01.01.2002 to 31.12.2011. Spatial resolution data in the platform area is ~ 12 km x 34 km, the discreteness in time is 1 hour. Calculation of the velocity fields of near-water wind was produced according to the fields of atmospheric pressure used with the processing by the method of Russian Hydrometcentre of Russia (by Popov, S., Lobov A.) on a grid of 5 * 5 nautical miles. Calculated near-water wind fields used for calculation of ocean currents in the basin of the Barents Sea. Fields of currents and wind are calculated in increments of 1 hour, each year includes about 8,000 meteorological situations. Each of the seasons, ice (January-May) and ice-free (July-November) recorded 36 240 cases. For estimates of restrictions on the responses two other sources of data on wind conditions were considered. Comparison showed a fairly high correlation between all the data.
Hydrometeorological conditions (Examples) Sea level and current velocity on the surface for 15 hours of 14 July 2009 Sea level pressure and near-water wind for 15 hours of July 14, 2009
Hydrological conditions (Examples) September April Ellipses of tidal currents of M2 wave at the sea surface (The color shows counter-clockwise rotation)
ice conditions To consider the ice conditions we used climatic maps of ice boundaries with defined levels of cohesion. Characteristics of ice conditions in the ISM point prepared by specialists at AARI (V. Smolyanitsky and V. Stanovoy). Information about ice conditions obtained by AARI from Global data assimilation system (GDAS), operating in Global Forecast System (GFS) NCEP / NOAA (USA). Spatial resolution of the date 20 km 20 km, discretion by timeof 3 hours.
OIL WEATHERING Oil spill of 16,000 tons in 5 days Oil spill of 1,500 tons in 3 days
OIL WEATHERING Estimates show that changes in viscosity due to evaporation are small and make several percent (max. 4%). At the same time, the viscosity can increase about 20 times due to emulsification, taking the maximum water concentration in oil for 70%. Oil density starting with a value of 911 kg/m3, due to evaporation increases up to 1,021 kg/m3, and further, due to emulsification, goes to the turn of 1,025 kg/m3. ISM oil can have a high ability to go underwater due to a low buoyancy balance.
