Abstract
The report discusses the use of chemical compounds to assist in the control of oil on the water and subsequent clean-up operation. Basically, chemicals are employed to disperse, gel, sink, absorb, and facilitate the burning of oil. The basis of present knowledge has resulted primarily from experience with the major spills involving the tankers TORREY CANYON and OCEAN EAGLE and the offshore oil platform at Santa Barbara, California.
