| Description |
A joint industry project (JIP)
was formed between the MMS and 23 different oil companies to conduct this
research. The project consisted of an experimental release of oil and gas
conducted in June 2000 off the coast of Norway. Mixtures of crude oil and
natural gas, diesel oil and natural gas, as well as only natural gas were
released at approximately 800 meters water depth. The goal was to simulate a
blowout or pipeline rupture in deep water and obtain data to verify the
predictions of a deep water blowout model being developed under a separate
contract. In another, related, research project, experiments were conducted
in a simulated deep ocean environment created in a high pressure chamber
located at the University of Hawaii. |
| Progress |
The final report for this
project was submitted in June 2001. Initially, the report and other research
results were considered proprietary among the JIP members. Subsequently, it
was agreed that the results should be released and the reports made publicly
available. A video clip is available upon request from 703-787-1559. |
