佛罗里达州斯图尔特 CSA海洋科学公司提供了最近与墨西哥湾 (GoM) 深水运营商联盟 HWCG 合作开发表面监测设备计划的最新信息。

其目的是协助海上石油和天然气运营商进行环境监测和准备工作。

该计划涉及对 100 m 深度的海洋表面进行分析和采样，据说可以让墨西哥湾运营商获得可快速部署的科学监测设备和专业泄漏响应服务，以应对海洋环境中的意外排放。

此外，该计划还经过专门设计，以符合与表面分散剂使用相关的新法规，如果这些被视为漏油期间的适当应对策略。

根据美国联邦法规 (CFR) 第 40 章第 300 部分：国家石油和有害物质污染应急计划 J 子部分 (40 CFR 300.913)，使用表面分散剂超过 96 小时来管理排放CSA 表示，24 小时内超过 100,000 加仑的水需要在海洋表面附近收集水样并进行现场测量。其中包括温度、盐度、溶解氧浓度、荧光、浊度、甲烷、pH 值和粒度分布。

该公司的海洋科学家和现场操作专家评估并选择了适合监测上部水柱的设备，开发了一种使用拖曳框架或垂直铸造系统部署传感器的系统。

CSA 的姊妹公司 Okeanus Science & Technology 设计并建造了一个发射和回收系统 (LARS)，配有绞车、撬装式 A 型框架和电缆，可在拖曳或抛投模式下部署到 100 m 的水深。

其他设备包括定制的“控制车”，在陆上待命和海上部署期间充当移动工作空间。

CSA 和 HWCG 还邀请 GoM 的其他运营商参与共享设备计划。

STUART, FLA — CSA Ocean Sciences has provided an update on its recent collaboration with HWCG, a consortium of deepwater operators in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), to develop a surface monitoring equipment program.

This is designed to assist offshore oil and gas operators with their environmental monitoring and preparedness preparations.

The program, which involves profiling and sampling the ocean surface to a depth of 100 m, is said to give operators in the GoM access to rapidly deployable scientific monitoring equipment and specialist spill response services to deal with to accidental discharges in the marine environment.

In addition, the program is tailored to comply with new regulations related to the use of surface dispersants, should these be deemed an appropriate response tactic during an oil spill.

As governed by the US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, Part 300: National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan, Subpart J (40 CFR 300.913), the use of surface dispersants for more than 96 hours to manage a discharge of more than 100,000 gallons in 24 hours calls for the collection of water samples and in situ measurements near the ocean surface, CSA said. These include temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen concentration, fluorescence, turbidity, methane, pH and particle size distribution.

The company’s marine scientists and field operations specialists assessed and selected equipment appropriate for monitoring the upper water column, developing a system for deploying sensors using a towed frame or a vertical cast system.

CSA’s sister company Okeanus Science & Technology designed and built a launch and recovery system (LARS) with a winch, skid-mounted A-Frame and cable to allow deployments to water depths of 100 m in either towed or cast mode.

Other equipment includes a custom "control van" that serves as a mobile workspace during onshore standby and offshore deployment.

CSA and HWCG are also inviting other operators in the GoM to participate in the shared equipment program.
