Abstract

This report presents computational results concerning the buoyancy-driven leakage of oil resulting from a possible rupture of the planned pipeline P/15-4 to Hook of Holland. The computations were commissioned by R.J. Brown and Associates (Netherlands) b.v. (RJBA Job No. 7004.02). The specifications of the pipeline and oil as made available by RJBA are listed in Table 1. Assumed properties of seawater are also listed. Leak volumes up to 400 m were calculated as functions of time after rupture for two oil temperatures (5 degrees C and 15 degrees C) and four pipe inclinations, namely 0 (horizontal pipe), 0.001, 0.002 and 0.01.
