Fig. 2.9 Comparison of shoreline impact (km) from a blowout scenario with and without spill
response options. Basecase = no response; Mech = surface mechanical response; Disp = surface
chemical dispersion
in Fig. 2.9). The foundation principle that ERA Acute uses continuous impact and
damage algorithms, means it is well-suited to reflect even minor changes in spill
scenarios or resources distribution as a change in impact and risk.
In the ERA Acute software tool, a separate comparison module enables the user
to compare oil spill trajectory, impact and risk data from different scenarios or
calculations in a straightforward manner. This can be performed as compartment or
resource impact and risk summaries but also plotted as impact maps. This is important in balancing the trade-offs by weighing and comparing the range of benefits and
drawbacks associated with each response option (IPIECA-API-IOGP 2017).
