Abstract

A series of test spills varying in size from 13 to 51 barrels was carried out in the Arabian Gulf using Arabian light and heavy crude oils. The areas of the black oil part of the spill, the sheen and the total slick were measured at various times. Comparison with commonly used spread formulas showed wide discrepancies between predicted and measured results.
