Title
Oil Spill Conference Prevention, Behavior, Control, Cleanup
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:

Scope:
FOREWORD
This is the 12th biennial International Oil Spill Conference. It is
jointly sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute, the U.S. Coast
Guard, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Conference
provides an opportunity for experts from all over the world to share
their knowledge with other people in the field, and to discuss their
concerns. It is estimated to attact more than a thousand participants
from 35 different countries and will have more than 125 exhibits of
oil spill equipment and services.
The first Oil Spill Conference was held in 1969. The goals of the
conference were to delineate the overall dimensions of the spills
problem, to explore the state of the art in the prevention and control
of spills, and to review the relevant research. While much has been
learned in the past 22 years, there are still many challenges ahead in
identifying better ways to prevent spills and to respond to those that
occur.
This year there are an unusual number of new developments which will
enhance our knowledge on spill response and cleanup. There will be
papers on the use of bioremediation, dispersants, management of
spills, fate and effects of oil, efforts to improve the capabilities
of spill response organizations, and spill modeling. There also will
be case histories on the response to a number of significant spills.
In addition, there will be extensive discussions on the new oil spill
legislation and its implications. As a special attraction, this year's
Conference will include an open water demonstration of a number of new
and innovative types of cleanup equipment.
The sponsors of this Conference thank the authors of the papers which
constitute the Proceedings as well as all members of the panels,
session chairmen, and planning committees for their generous
contribution of time to make this conference a success.
