Oil Booms

Product Description

Oil booms are defined as abrupt, quick, and large increases in crude oil production. Although these occurrences are frequently transient, they can have a big effect on the world economy. These are used to control oil spills, to prevent oil from contaminating shorelines and other resources. Moreover, they concentrate oil in thicker surface layers, simplifying recovery. Oil booms are frequently used to enclose and contain oil that has leaked into the ocean as well as to direct it away from sensitive resources or towards a location where it may be recovered. The quick spread of floating oil and the impacts of currents, tides, wind, and waves may limit the success of booming operations.
