Guinean environmental impact potential risks assessment of oil spills simulation

This work analyses the specific potential spill scenarios for future oil exploitation and transportation activity in Guinean waters. The analysis was carried out by using the DEEPBLOW and (OSCAR) 3-dimensional model system from SINTEF. A spill using 100 t as a “worst case” reference scenario of marine crude oil demonstrates the rapidity with which such a spill will dissipate naturally. Guinean southwest (SW) and north–northwest (NNW) winds...
