Oil Spill Occurrence, Simulation, and Behavior/Возникновение, моделирование и поведение разливов нефти

Книга на английском языке
The main causes of oil spill occurrence are accidents happening during offshore oil production activities and the transportation of crude oil, its liquid products, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) by sea through tankers.
