Abstract In 2017, blowouts and then explosions occurred in a Middle Eastern oilfield. A root cause of the incident is lack study investigation past kicks data. Therefore, as pioneer work region, data gathering analysis were made studied oilfield to learn lessons find gaps. Out 149 drilled wells, total 117 three (3) occurred. this work, list drilling parameters be considered suggested guideline ...

The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is an economically important region (e.g. oil and gas, fisheries) with the expansion drilling, harmful algal bloom events, blowouts, dead zones, anthropogenic eutrophication contaminant loading, it that ecological quality statuses (EcoQS) different localities in are closely monitored. EcoQS, as implemented by European Water Framework Directive, effective tool for monito...

Abstract The size distribution of oil droplets formed in subsea and gas blowouts is known to have a strong impact on their subsequent fate the environment. Small low rising velocities, are more influenced by oceanographic turbulence larger potential for natural biodegradation. Subsea Dispersant Injection (SSDI) an established method achieving this goal, lowering interfacial tension between wate...

Blowouts can mitigate the negative effects of acidification in topsoil, especially industrialized countries with high atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition. However, blowout activity may differ between lime-rich and lime-poor dunes, which creates different regional responses interactions processes patterns. To further explore this, five Dutch dune sites were selected over gradient from dunes. We ...

In industrialized countries, biodiversity is threatened by high atmospheric N deposition. coastal dunes, blowouts can mitigate this through deposition of fresh sand, but lime-rich and lime-poor dunes may differ in blowout activity. We studied natural activity explanatory factors 2000 2014 up to 51 sites along the Dutch coast, representative for other parts Europe. further analyzed plant soil ch...
