Peer Review of Interim Report on Computational Fluid Dynamics Model for Predicting Wellhead Oil-Burning Efficiency at Bench and Intermediate Scales

Completed

Topics

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) has asked the National Academies to conduct a peer review of new research from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. The research examines the feasibility of wellhead burning as a mitigation method for a “worst case” loss of well control. This study will convene experts to examine the methods, data quality, and strengths of the research report. The committee’s findings and conclusions will inform BSEE decision-making, as part of the bureau’s responsibility to permit, oversee, and enforce laws and regulations to govern offshore oil and gas development.
