Predict Trajectory
Forecast and visualize surface and subsurface transport to support time-sensitive response decisions.
Oil spill modeling and decision support
OILMAP
OILMAP supports oil spill response and contingency planning with rapid predictions of spill movement and a comprehensive three-dimensional model of hydrocarbons at the surface, in the water column and in the air.
Built for critical decisions
From incident response to long-term preparedness.
OILMAP is an oil spill model system designed for oil spill response and contingency planning.
It provides rapid predictions of the movement of spilled oil and helps responders, environmental agencies and industry professionals model, simulate and evaluate impacts in marine and coastal environments.
Evaluate Fate
Track hydrocarbon product weathering and behavior across environmental compartments.
Assess Risk
Explore potential affected areas, times to impact and degrees of impact likely paths and minimum travel times for seasonal and long-range planning.
Plan Response
Test various response deployment measures including booming, mechanical recovery, and dispersant application.
Modeling software in context
Complex model results, presented for practical use.
Use the placeholders in this section for OILMAP screenshots, trajectory animations, mass balance plots and operational map views.
