Abstract

A probabilistic based steady state model, PROMISE, was developed to predict the mixing behaviors of produced water in the marine environment. The model was also coupled with a MIKE3 model to study the dispersion in non-steady state conditions. Laboratory experiments were conducted in a 58 m towing tank to calibrate the near field model. Field experiments using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) were also performed to test the ability of an AUV in produced water plume mapping.
