There has been increasing offshore oil exploration, drilling, and production activities, as well as a huge amount of petroleum being transported by tankers and pipelines through the ocean and costal environment. Assessment must be made of the potential risk of damage resulting from the exploration, development and transportation activities. This is achieved through predictive impact evaluations of the fate of hypothetical or real oil spills. VVhen an oil spill occurs, planning and execution of cleanup measures also require the capability to forecast the short-term and long-term behavior of the spilled oil. A great amount of effort has been spent by government agencies, oil industries, and researchers over the past decade to develop more realistic models for oil spills. Numerous oil spill models have been developed and applied, most of which attempt to predict the oil spill fate and behavior. For an actual contingency planning, the oil fate and behavior model should be combined with an oil spill incident model, an environmental impact and risk model and a contingency planning model. The purpose of this review study is to give an overview of existing oil spill models that deal with the physical, chemical, biological, and socia-economical aspects of the incident, fate, and environmental impact of oil spills. After reviewing the existing models, future research needs are suggested. In the study, available oil spill models are separated into oil spill incident, oil spill fate and behavior, environmental impact and risk, and contingency planning models. The processes of the oil spill fate and behavior are reviewed in detail and the characteristics of existing oil spill fate and behavior models are examined and classified so that an ideal model may be identified. Finally, future research needs are discussed.

허베이스피리트호의 원유유출로부터 오염된 해안이 어떻게 변화되어 가는지를 조사하는 것을 목적으로 하여, 태안군 이원면 만대(가로림만)로부터 소원면 파도리 해변까지 11개 정점에서 현장조사를 실시한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1년이 경과한 시점에서 관측한 결과 관측지점 10개 정점 모두에서 잔존유는 발견되지 않았으나, 구름포 해변의 경우 아직도 토양중에 잔존유가 존재하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 오염된 태안 해안의 조속한 복원은 100만이 넘는 자원봉사자와 지역주민의 방제노력이 이루어낸 성과라고 판단되며, 또한 파도의 반복적인 작용에 의해서 조간대에 표착한 표착유가 제거되었으리라 판단된다. 조간대에 표착해 있던 원유의 일부는 물리화학적 그리고 생물학적 풍화작용으로 분해되었고, 나머지 기름은 모래입자나 미세토립자(minerals)와 부착되어 기름과 미세토립자의 합체물(OMA)의 형태로 조간대나 조하대에 분산되었으리라 판단된다.

To predict the oil spill dispersion phenomena in the ocean, the oil spill response model, which can be used for strategic purpose on the oil spill site, based on Lagrangian particle-tracking method was formulated and applied to the neighboring area with Pusan port where the oil spill incident occurred when the tanker ship No.1 Youil struck on a small rock near the Namhyungjeto on September 21, 1995. The real-time tidal currents to be required as input data of the oil spill model were obtained by the two-dimensional hydrodynamic model and the tide prediction model. Evaluation of tidal currents using observation data was successful. For wind data, other input data of oil spill model, observed data on the spot were used. To verify the oil spill model, the oil spill modelling results were compared with the field data obtained from the spill site. Compared the modelling results with the observation data, there exist some discrepancies but the general pattern of modelling results was similar to that of field observation. The modelling results on 7 days after spill occurred showed that the 40% of spilled oil is in floating, 36% in evaporated, 23% at shore, and 1% in out of boundary, respectively. According to the evaluation of weighting curves of effective components to the dispersion of oil, the winds make a 37% of contribution to the dispersion of oil, turbulent diffusion 39.5%, and tidal currents 23.5%, respectively. Provided the more accurate wind data are supported, more favorable results might be obtained.

This study investigates the effects of tide, wind and oceanic currents on oil spill dispersions through a series of numerical floats tracking experiments on the Sea Prince oil spill incident occurred in 1995 using a 3-dimensional high resolution ocean circulation model. For that, a total of four experimental cases (experiment with tide, wind and oceanic currents, experiment with tide and oceanic currents, experiment with wind and oceanic currents, and experiment with tide and wind) were compared. It could be seen that results from experiment involving all external forces showed better agreement with the observed pattern of oil slick movement than other cases. The oceanic currents acted to drive floats to move to the western channel of the Korea straits and wind accelerated the eastward movement of floats in the early stage of the incident. Tidal currents played significant role in the horizontal dispersion of floats.

This study aims to propose the concept design of oil spill protection robot which can rapidly intervene to control the oil spillage situation at the sea. Taking into account the fact that a huge amount of oil is transported trans-continentally by oil tanker, none of industrialized countries are completely safe from the marine oil spill which results in social, economical and ecological damages to their communities. The employment of double hull-oil tanker, pipe line transporting can be most safe way. Yet complete prevention of oil spill is probably not realistic. Accordingly the alternative solution to control marine oil spill and minimize the damages caused by the incident using intelligent robot technology based on swarm control method is proposed. The main features of oil spill protection(OSP) robot is explained via following three perspectives. Firstly, from functional point of view, OSP robot system safely and efficiently replaces oil boom installation manually conducted by human workers with intelligent robot technology based on swarm control theory. For second, its modular architecture brings efficient storage of main components including oil boom and facilitates maintenance. For the last, its geometric form and shape enables whole system to be installed to helicopter, boat or oil tanker itself with ease and to rapidly deploy the units to the oil spill area.

해상 기름유출사고 시, 효율적인 방제 전략을 위해서는 유출유의 위치 및 이동 특성을 파악하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 일반적으로 유출유의 모니터링은 항공기와 인공위성을 이용하고 있으며, 유출된 기름의 이동 경로를 예측하기 위해 수치모델이 적용되고 있다. 하지만, 원격탐사에 의한 모니터링 정보를 이용한 수치모델의 초기조건 적용은 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 인공위성 자료를 통해 추출된 유출유 정보를 이용한 예측 모델의 활용가능성을 제시하고자 한다. EFDC 3차원 수치모델을 이용하여 2007년 12월 7일 태안 해안에서 발생한 Hebei Spirit호 기름유출사고의 유출유 이동을 예측하였다. 모델 초기조건과 모델결과 비교를 위하여, 12월 8일 KOMPSAT-2 MSC와 12월 11일 EVNISAT ASAR위성자료로부터 추출된 유출유 정보를 사용하였다. 모델초기 조건으로 인공위성 자료를 이용한 경우가 사고지점에서 유출을 가정하여 방류한 초기조건보다 유출된 기름의 분포측면에서 더 개선된 결과를 보였다.

To find characteristics and areas of greater risk of oil spill at the coastal waters in Korea, some of risk factors were analyzed with historical data of oil spill and marine traffic. As a result, it is characterized that frequency of oil spill is increasing year by year and greatest percentage of spill source is fishing boat. It is proposed that the ports of Ulsan, Yeosu, Incheon and Pusan will be designated as primary area of risk as they have a higher risk of oil spills and its response authority is required to maintain appropriate regional response capability for prompt and effective response to a future spill incident. In addition, the regional response equipments at Ulsan are examined under a assumption of a medium size spill and it is found that the use of chemical dispersant can be an alternative when mechanical containment and recovery is not feasible in this area, and the existing response equipments may be appropriate to address that size of spill. However, the response authority is required to maintain more numbers of stronger boom for unsheltered waters and more quantity of concentrate dispersant to disperse all spilled oils on the water, furthermore the response authority should be prepared for a possible future catastrophic spill with sufficient equipments.
