“…These validations used state-of-theart models (OILMAPDEEP for the nearfield and SIMAP for the far field) and were based on observations of the oil spill openly accessible to the public. In parallel, OILMAP has been validated on a global scale [218] and it has been implemented in Persian Gulf War spill and Braer spills [122], in Dubai and Gulf region [219], in Southeast Monsoon and in Indian Ocean [268], in Mersin Bay in Mediterranean Sea [269], and in Bay of Samsun in Black Sea [270]. Moreover, SIMAP has been validated against data of more than 20 large spills, such as the Exxon Valdez [37,38,208] and [117].…”

Several oil spill simulation models exist in the literature, which are used worldwide to simulate the evolution of an oil slick created from marine traffic, petroleum production, or other sources. These models may range from simple parametric calculations to advanced, new-generation, operational, three-dimensional numerical models, coupled to meteorological, hydrodynamic, and wave models, forecasting in high-resolution and with high precision the transport and fate of oil. This study presents a review of the transport and oil weathering processes and their parameterization and critically examines eighteen state-of-the-art oil spill models in terms of their capacity (a) to simulate these processes, (b) to consider oil released from surface or submerged sources, (c) to assimilate real-time field data for model initiation and forcing, and (d) to assess uncertainty in the produced predictions. Based on our review, the most common oil weathering processes involved are spreading, advection, diffusion, evaporation, emulsification, and dispersion. The majority of existing oil spill models do not consider significant physical processes, such as oil dissolution, photo-oxidation, biodegradation, and vertical mixing. Moreover, timely response to oil spills is lacking in the new generation of oil spill models. Further improvements in oil spill modeling should emphasize more comprehensive parametrization of oil dissolution, biodegradation, entrainment, and prediction of oil particles size distribution following wave action and well blow outs.

“…The weathering and trajectory models are commonly integrated to provide a comprehensive prediction of oil spills and facilitate oil spill management. Recently, several models have been developed or integrated for oil spill transport and fate simulation, such as the Oil Spill Contingency and Response (OSCAR) model (Reed et al, 1995(Reed et al, , 1999a(Reed et al, , 2004Aamo et al, 1997;Nordam et al, 2020;Barreto et al, 2021); the OILMAP ™ model (Mackay et al, 1980a;Mackay, 1980;Toz and Buber, 2018;Chen, 2021;RPS-ASA, 2022); the General National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Operational Modeling Environment (GNOME) with the Automated Data Inquiry for Oil Spills (ADIOS2) (Beegle-Krause, 1999Elizaryev et al, 2018; Torres et al, 2020); and the OpenDrift model integrated with the integrated oil spill transport and fate sub-module (OpenOil) (Dagestad et al, 2018;Röhrs et al, 2018;Keramea et al, 2022). The list of currently used oil spill models can be found in Table 5.…”

Bitumen, an unconventional crude oil, has received much attention with the increasing consumption and the shrinking storage of conventional crude oils. Bitumen is highly viscous and, thus, is commonly diluted for transportation purposes. Spills of diluted bitumen could occur during the transportation from reservoirs to refineries via pipeline, rail, and marine vessels. Although some laboratory and numerical modeling studies have been contributed to study the spill of diluted bitumen from different aspects, there is no systematic review in the field yet. Therefore, this study first conducted a review on different types of diluted bitumen based on their physicochemical properties, followed by their weathering processes including spreading, evaporation, emulsification, photooxidation, biodegradation, and sinking. Second, the numerical modeling on the fate and behavior of spilled diluted bitumen was summarized and analyzed. Finally, the techniques for spilled oil recovery were discussed, as well as the disposal/treatment of oily waste. Currently, a rare attempt has been made to turn the recovered oily waste into wealth (reutilization/valorization of oily waste). Using the recovered oily waste as the feedstock/processing medium for an emerging thermochemical conversion technique (hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass for crude bio-oil production) is highly recommended. Overall, this article summarized the state-of-the-art knowledge of the spill of diluted bitumen, with the hope to create a deep and systematic understanding on the spill of diluted bitumen for researchers, relevant companies, and decision makers.

“…However, the real ecological catastrophes were caused by the navigation accidents in which the big oil tankers were involved, as a result of which, not infrequently, the quantity spilled by some ships exceeded 50,000 tonnes, reaching even 287,000 tonnes, as in the case of the Atlantic Empress, as shown in Table 1 [9].…”

“…The most disastrous consequences have been caused by oil spills into coastal regions, and especially in areas where the oil slick has been concentrated on small or shallow areas: the Gulf of Alaska, the Bay of Biscay, the Persian Gulf, the English Channel (see Fig. 8) [9]. Experiments and observations in accidental oil spills have revealed that the toxicity of various petroleum products has very different effects on marine organisms.…”

Until the beginning of the 21st century concerns related to the management of protected areas have been reduced to the voluntary initiatives of nature lovers, rarely materializing in specific conservation measures carried out by the authorities or administrators of those areas. As the concern for the management of protected areas is relatively new in Romania and the information related to this subject is relatively scarce, especially those regarding marine ecosystems, we considered necessary this study on the management of marine protected areas in relation to oil pollution. Marine protected areas, in particular, delimited as areas where the main purpose is the protection of nature and cultural values, are important for all segments of society. They have great potential to become models of harmonious society development, promoting more than other protected areas the sustainable resource management. At the same time, the management measures promoted, sometimes imposed, can affect the communities inside or in the immediate vicinity of the areas, and can significantly influence the development of the economy. Recently (as a reference 1970-2020), the pollution of the marine environment with petroleum products has gained dramatic accents. The maritime transport of oil, the exploration and exploitation of marine deposits, their processing in refineries located in the vicinity of the coastal area, to which are added other anthropogenic activities, have generated and still generate a number of risk factors, which involve numerous pollution incidents. Navigation accidents of large oil tanks or incidents at offshore drilling rigs caused, in the same period, major environmental disasters, with the most severe consequences. Marine ecosystems in polluted regions have thus suffered major losses and disturbances, which have been felt for a long time. Through this paper we aim to review some aspects of oil pipeline pollution of the Planetary Ocean, respectively the associated pollution in the Black Sea ecosystem. Following the analyzes carried out on the basis of the data from the consulted literature, as well as following other observations, we came to the conclusion that the protected areas associated with the Black Sea, as well as the marine ecosystem itself, are far from being affected by such accidents.
