Abstract

Exploration and development in the far-reaching sea of the South China Sea faces many challenges, such as great difficulty in well control. Once an oil spill accident occurs, it is necessary to deal with the oil spill from submarine wells in time to avoid major environmental pollution. In order to study the spreading range of submarine blowout oil and its influencing factors, this paper uses the Fluent platform, combining with the standard 𝑘െ𝜀 turbulence model and the multiphase flow VOF model, to preliminarily establish a submarine blowout oil spill model. This paper also analyzes the influence of ocean current velocity, blowout velocity, oil spill density on underwater migration trajectory and oil spill diffusion range. Numerical simulation results show that under the conditions of higher ocean current velocity, lower blowout velocity and greater oil spill density, the oil has a long underwater migration time, and the position where the oil first floats to the sea surface is far away from the wellhead level and will cause a greater range of oil spill pollution. This research is of practical significance for the rescue and rescue of blowouts and the emergency prediction and disposal of oil spills on deep water offshore platforms.
