Workshop set for April

Petroleum News Alaska Staff

Alaska Clean Seas, in conjunction with 15 other organizations, is sponsoring a three-day workshop in April on Arctic spill risk, spill prevention, oil fate and behavior, and spill response in ice-covered waters.

The workshop combines two days of conference in Anchorage with an optional field trip to Prudhoe Bay to witness response demonstrations in an Arctic setting.

Key topics include oil fate and behavior in ice conditions; seasonal ice environment; surveillance, monitoring, tracking and modeling; arctic oil spill response strategies and tactics; oil spill prevention for exploration and development in ice prone environments; design criteria for ice capable vessels; case studies of Arctic oilfield exploration and development; and case studies of Arctic oil spill response.
