Abstract:
Marine oil spills have been of tremendous concern due to
their adverse impact on economic and ecological systems. Major oil spills
triggered worldwide consciousness of marine spill response. In past decades,
significant advances have been made in diverse aspects including prevention
and preparedness, spill response and cleanup options, modelling of marine
oil spills, and response decision support. Risk aversion was always a problem
in the oil and gas business, but it has never been more serious. However,
challenges remain particularly associated with cold and harsh
environmental conditions. The research paper will explore how oil spills
influence the environment and surrounding communities, as well as how this
catastrophic issue causes the death of most marine species and threatens the
sustainability of countries, with a focus on the Prestige and Northeast Brazil
oil spills. The paper urges more organizations is needed to follow accessible
standards to improve their operating performance and overcome technical
uncertainty. Oil and gas companies collaborate with their peers to build
transparent platforms that guarantee that automated production projects can
be carried out at low cost and with relatively little interruption.
