OILMAPDEEP provides rapid predictions of the movement of spilled oil from sub-sea releases. Both the joint-industry CDOG model and OILMAP's native plume model are supported.

Applications

• Well blowout response planning.
  
• Well blowout response decision support.
  
• Spill drill exercises.
  
• Contingency planning studies.
  

Features

• Includes subsea plume and surface transport for shallow and deep releases.
  
• Implements both the Clarkson CDOG Version 2.02 and ASA's simple plume calculations.
  
• Incorporates 2d and 3d hydrodynamic model flow fields.
  
• Output includes plan and section views of plume, in-water, and on-surface model predictions.
  
• Develop blowout relief well drilling contingency planning.
  
• 3d flow fields available for Gulf of Mexico and West Africa drilling/production areas.
  
• Contains ASA's own GIS or can be used in other GIS software such as ArcView®.
  

CDOG Version 2.02 Model implementation

Developed under MMS / Joint Industry program. Includes hydrate formation kinetics with mass and heat transfer. Includes algorithms for oil particle size estimation. CDOG model runs independent from OILMAP, OILMAP visualizes CDOG model outputs. OILMAP's plume implementation Simplified plume calculation, including water-limited hydrate formation. Comparisons in two Deep Spill workshops showed similar surfacing times and distances to CDOG and Sintef model predictions. Produces rapid model results. Direct integration with complex environmental dat

Combined Analysis

• A combined analysis using both CDOG's and OILMAP's plume models has shown to be an effective modeling approach.
  
• OILMAP's surface weathering processes predict evaporation, entrainment, emulsification, and shoreline interaction.
  
• OILMAP's stochastic analysis can be used to show stochastic predictions of surface transport subsequent to blowout surfacing.
