FIGURE 1.3 - VOLUME ESTIMATE A. Locating a Spill Spill size and volume estimations are essential for identifying potential oil spill trajectories, impact zones, and shoreline arrival times. Accurate monitoring of the oil slick is also important in documenting the nature and aerial distribution of oil so that meaningful decisions can be made regarding containment and recovery operations and the potential use of dispersants. Data Acquisition
Use aircraft, whenever possible, to locate the spill source (latitude and longitude) and the aerial distribution of any resulting surface slicks. Describe the approximate dimensions of the oil slick based on available reference points (i.e., vessel, platforms, islands, shoreline features, etc.). As necessary, use aircraft to derive coordinates of spill dimensions.

LOCATE

MEASURE

B.

Determining the Size and Volume of a Spill Reports of oil spills, both oral and written, will conform to the following guidelines: 1. Basic Definitions (These definitions correspond to the Spill Volume Estimation Form attached.) Sheen (Barely Visible, Silver Sheen, Slight Rainbow, Bright Rainbow): The oil is visible on the water as a silvery sheen or as rainbow colors. This is the smallest thickness of oil. Dark Colors (Dull Colors, Yellowish Brown, Light Brown): The oil is visible with dark colors; it will still have traces of the rainbow color but is not black or dark brown. Black/ Dark Brown: Fresh oil after the initial spreading will have a black or very dark brown color. This is the greatest thickness of nonemulsified oil.

VOLUME ESTIMATE
2. Spill Factors The factors given in the table below shall be used to estimate the volume of oil contained in the spill unless a more accurate amount is known by other means. These should be compared whenever possible to volumes estimated from the source of the spill, for example, piping volume, sump volume, or tank capacity. Exact calculations of the volume of a spill are not possible by visual observation of the oil on the surface of the water. For this reason, the spill volumes should be rounded off to avoid the appearance of a very accurate determination. Appearance of Oil on Water (This gives the thickness of oil) Barely Visible Silvery Slight Color Bright Color Dull Dark Spill Factor 1 Gallons/ Yd 2 Film Thickness 0.000008 0.0000015 0.000016 0.000003 0.000032 0.000006 0.000065 0.000012 0.00022 0.00004 0.00043 0.00008

FIGURE 1.3 (continued)

The factors represent volumes of oil and are based on "Field Operations Guide" United States 2 2 Coast Guard, 2000 Edition. Volume Oil = Area of Slick (yd ) x Spill Factor (gallons/ yd )

Estimating Procedures See the following Spill Volume Estimation Form to be used in determining an estimate of the amount of oil spilled.

Use the following steps when estimating the size of a spill:

Step

Action
Estimate the coverage dimensions of each part of the spill in yd of the six appearances that may be observed in the spill.

for each

1

Use helicopter coordinates to determine dimensions and sketch the oil spill with heavy areas outlined.
2

Multiply the dimensions in yd 2 by the appropriate factor from the table. Add the individual parts together. The answer is the estimated volume of the spill in gallons or in barrels of oil. If. . . . Then. . . . Report as "Less than 1 gallon" Report in gallons Round off to the nearest 0.1 barrels Report in barrels as a whole number

Areas of Socio-Economic Concern in Lafourche Parish: Fourchon Beach Private oyster beds are throughout the shoreline marsh areas Protection Priorities for Lafourche Parish: Wisner State Wildlife Management Area Timbalier Bay Area Pointe Au Chein Wildlife Management Area Other shoreline marshes and private oyster beds E. Response Shell Offshore, Inc. will make every effort to respond to the Worst Case Discharge as effectively as possible. A description of the response equipment available to contain and recover the Worst Case Discharge in adverse weather conditions is shown in FIGURE H.3. The Incident Commander or designee may contact other service companies if the Unified Command deems such services necessary to the response efforts. In selecting the worst-case discharge scenarios, Shell Offshore, Inc. considered potential spill volumes, types of product and proximity to the shoreline. Area Contingency Plans were also reviewed for shoreline sensitivities. Within ten miles of the coastline, Shell Offshore, Inc.'s (Shell Pipeline's) pipeline segment 10553 from West Delta 143 to their Fourchon Terminal at Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, was selected due to the WCD volume (based on criteria in 30 CFR 254.47) of 10,104 barrels of crude oil with an API gravity of 28.9°. Utilizing the MMS OSRAM, the trajectory indicates a 100% probability of impact to the shoreline in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. The Timbalier Bay area contains rookeries, mangroves, oyster beds and finfish and shellfish nursery grounds. Seven rookeries are located northwest of Grand Isle in Bay Tambour and Caminada Bay. Open beaches are located along the Gulf Coast. This area is a part of the Barataria Basin, a unique fishery habitat that has shallow estuarine waters, sandbars, small barrier and coastal islands and coastal wetlands. This area is also a nesting ground for the brown pelican, an endangered species. An Adios model was run on a similar product. The results indicate 17% of the product would be evaporated/ naturally dispersed within 12 hours, leaving approximately 8,386 barrels on the water. This first 12-hour rate would apply to any additional product released as a result of a continuous discharge.

FIGURE H.3 outlines equipment, personnel, materials and support vessels as well as temporary storage equipment to be considered in order to cope with an initial spill of 10,104 bbls. The list estimates individual times needed for procurement, load out, travel time to the site and deployment. FIGURE H.3 also indicates how operations will be supported Offshore response strategies may also include attempting to skim utilizing the Louisiana Responder and Mississippi Responder oil spill response vessel's (OSRV's), two Ampol Response Vessels, and 5 shallow water skimming packages with a total derated skimming capacity of 37,177 barrels. Temporary storage associated with the identified skimming and temporary storage equipment equals 56,400 barrels and the ability to add an additional 15, 840 barrels (Stress1 skimmer) of derated recovery on the barge if necessary. SAFETY IS FIRST PRIORITY. AIR MONITORING WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED AND OPERATIONS DEEMED SAFE PRIOR TO ANY CONTAINMENT/ SKIMMING ATTEMPTS. Depending on proximity to shore and water depth, dispersants may be a viable response option. If appropriate, 4 to 5 sorties (325 gallons per sortie) from the BE90 King Air and 4 to 5 sorties (3,250 gallons per sortie) from the Hercules C130A within the first 12 hour operating day of the response. Using a 1:20 application rate, 90% effectiveness, and assuming 4-5 sorties per day the systems could disperse approximately 6,128 to 7,660 barrels of oil per day based on the NOAA Dispersant Planner. For continuing dispersant operations the CCA's Aerial Dispersant Delivery System (ADDS) could be mobilized. The ADDS has a dispersant spray capability of 5,000 gallons per sortie. If the spill went unabated, shoreline impact in Lafourche or Plaquemine Parish, Louisiana would depend upon existing environmental conditions. Nearshore response may include the deployment of shoreline boom on beach areas, or protection and sorbent boom on vegetated areas. Strategies would be based upon surveillance and real time trajectories provided by The Response Group that depict areas of potential impact given actual sea and weather conditions. Strategies from the Morgan City, Louisiana Area Contingency Plan, The Response Group and Unified Command would be consulted to ensure that environmental and special economic resources would be correctly identified and prioritized to ensure optimal protection. The Response Group shoreline response guides depict the protection response modes applicable for oil spill clean-up operations. Each response mode is schematically represented to show optimum deployment and operation of the equipment in areas of environmental concern. Supervisory personnel have the option to modify the deployment and

operation of equipment allowing a more effective response to site-specific circumstances. Beyond ten miles of the coastline, Shell Offshore, Inc.'s Production platform at Mississippi Canyon Block 809 was selected due to the WCD volume (based on criteria in 30 CFR 254.47) of 163,223 barrels of crude oil with an API gravity of 27.5°. Utilizing the MMS OSRAM, the trajectory indicates a 3% probability of impact to the shoreline in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The Terrebonne Barrier Island Refuge surrounds the Isle Dernieres chain. Brown Pelican breeding grounds are located all along these islands. Mangroves are found along the northern side of the interior islands. Private Oyster beds are throughout the shoreline marsh areas from Lake Pelto to Bay Chaland (adjacent to Cocodrie), at northern end of Lake Barre (Lake Tamour & Bay la Peur), Lake Chien and Grand Cut, Bay Counant, and Little Lake south to Devils Bay. The area is a prime shrimping area. An Adios model was run on a similar product. The results indicate 12% of the product would be evaporated/ naturally dispersed within 12 hours, leaving approximately 71,818 barrels on the water. This first 12-hour rate would apply to any additional product released as a result of a continuous discharge. FIGURE H.3 outlines equipment, personnel, materials and support vessels as well as temporary storage equipment to be considered in order to cope with an initial spill of 163,223 bbls. The list estimates individual times needed for procurement, load out, travel time to the site and deployment. FIGURE H.3 also indicates how operations will be supported. Primary offshore response strategies would also include six (6) Oil Spill Response Vessels (Responder class), four (4) Oil Spill Response Barges, three (3) Vessel-of-Opportunity Skimming Systems, and two (2) Ampol Response Vessel. The total derated skimming capacity of these resources is 171,743 barrels per day; the associated temporary storage volume is 208,100 barrels. The attached FIGURE H.3 shows the equipment that would be mobilized for a response, with derated recovery capacity and response times. These resources would be utilized wherever adequate slick thickness' are located, and weather permitting. Under adverse weather conditions, the primary MSRC equipment (major response vessels and Transrec skimmers) is still effective and safe in sea states of 6-8 ft. If sea conditions prohibit safe mechanical recovery efforts, then natural dispersion and airborne chemical dispersant application (visibility & wind conditions permitting) may be the only viable recovery option. Primary storage equipment for each day's recovered oil is listed in the attachment as MSRC's major Oil Spill Response Vessels and offshore storage barges situated in their respective recovery zones, totaling approximately 208,100 bbls.

transferring, storing and disposing of oil collected in these recovery zones would be to utilize two 150,000-160,000 ton (dead weight) tankers mobilized by Equiva Trading Company (or any other tanker immediately available). The recovered oil would be transferred to Motiva's Norco, La. Storage and refining facility, or would be stored at Delta Commodities, Inc. Harvey, LA facility. SAFETY IS FIRST PRIORITY. AIR MONITORING WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED AND OPERATIONS DEEMED SAFE PRIOR TO ANY CONTAINMENT/SKIMMING ATTEMPTS. Depending on proximity to shore and water depth, dispersants may be a viable response option. If appropriate, 4 to 5 sorties (325 gallons per sortie) from the BE90 King Air and 4 to 5 sorties (3,250 gallons per sortie) from the Hercules C130A within the first 12 hour operating day of the response. Using a 1:20 application rate, 90% effectiveness, and assuming 4-5 sorties per day the systems could disperse approximately 6,128 to 7,660 barrels of oil per day based on the NOAA Dispersant Planner. For continuing dispersant operations the CCA's Aerial Dispersant Delivery System (ADDS) would be mobilized. The ADDS has a dispersant spray capability of 5,000 gallons per sortie. If the spill went unabated, shoreline impact in Terrebonne or Plaquemine Parish, LA would depend upon existing environmental conditions. Nearshore response may include the deployment of shoreline boom on beach areas, or protection and sorbent boom on vegetated areas. Strategies would be based upon surveillance and real time trajectories provided by The Response Group that depict areas of potential impact given actual sea and weather conditions. Strategies from the Morgan City, Louisiana Area Contingency Plan, The Response Group and Unified Command would be consulted to ensure that environmental and special economic resources would be correctly identified and prioritized to ensure optimal protection. The Response Group shoreline response guides depict the protection response modes applicable for oil spill clean-up operations. Each response mode is schematically represented to show optimum deployment and operation of the equipment in areas of environmental concern. Supervisory personnel have the option to modify the deployment and operation of equipment allowing a more effective response to site-specific circumstances. Exploratory, Shell Offshore, Inc.'s drilling operations at Mississippi Canyon Block 762 was selected due to the WCD volume of an estimated 205,000 BOPD of crude oil with an API gravity of 29°. Utilizing the MMS OSRAM 30 day probabilities, the trajectory indicates a 3% probability of impact to the shoreline in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana and an 8% probability of impact to the shoreline in Plaquemine Parish, Louisiana. The Pass A Loutre WMA, Delta NWR, and Breton Island NWR are located along the coast of Plaquemine Parish. Brown Pelican breeding grounds are located all along these islands. Private Oyster

beds are throughout the shoreline marsh areas from Grand Isle to the tip of Southwest Pass. The area is a prime sport fishing & shrimping area. An Adios model was run on a similar product. The results indicate 13% of the product would be evaporated/ naturally dispersed within 12 hours, leaving approximately 89,495 barrels on the water. This first 12-hour rate would apply to any additional product released as a result of a continuous discharge.
