A Proposed New Laboratory Protocol for Dispersant Effectiveness Testing Adapted for Subsea Dispersant Injection
(Journal article, 2019-05)The main objective of this study is to develop a new protocol for bench-scale dispersant effectiveness testing adapted for subsea dispersants injection (SSDI). The new approach includes turbulence conditions, dispersant ... -
Biodegradation of Dispersed Oil in natural Seawaters from Western Greenland and a Norwegian fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-25)With increasing oil exploration, production and transportation in the Arctic, predictions of the fate of spilled oil become important, including oil compound biodegradation. The use of chemical dispersants may result in ... -
Dispersibility and biotransformation of oils with different properties in seawater
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-01)Dispersants are used to remove oils slicks from sea surfaces and to generate small oil-droplet dispersions, which may result in enhanced biodegradation of the oil. In this study, dispersibility and biodegradation of ... -
Microbial communities in seawater from an Arctic and a temperate Norwegian fjord and their potentials for biodegradation of chemically dispersed oil at low seawater temperatures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-04)Biodegradation of chemically dispersed oil at low temperature (0–2 °C) was compared in natural seawater from Arctic (Svalbard) and a temperate (Norway) fjords. The oil was premixed with a dispersant (Corexit 9500) and ... -
The sensitivity of the surface oil signature to subsurface dispersant injection and weather conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-02)Subsea blowouts have the potential to spread oil across large geographical areas, and subsea dispersant injection (SSDI) is a response option targeted at reducing the impact of a blowout, especially reducing persistent ...
