Study a novel on oil spill and its modelling in KG Basin area

Abstract

Offshore oil spills are of tremendous concern due to their potential impact on economic and ecological systems. A
number of major oil spills triggered worldwide consciousness of oil spill preparedness and response. Challenges remain in
diverse aspects such as oil spill monitoring, analysis, assessment, contingency planning, response, cleanup, and decision
support. This article provides a comprehensive review of the current situations and impacts of offshore oil spills in KG basin,
as well as the policies and technologies in offshore oil spill response and countermeasures. Correspondingly, new strategies
and a decision support framework are recommended for improving the capacities and effectiveness of oil spill response and
countermeasures. In addition, the emerging challenges in cold and harsh environments are reviewed with recommendations
due to increasing risk of oil spills in the kg basin areas from the expansion of the Arctic Passage.
