Migration of oil in artificial islands and behaviour of oil-contaminated sand-steel interfaces.
Exploration wells have been drilled in the Canadian Beaufort Sea, using artificial islands. Basically, an artificial island consists of a caisson retained structure made of steel or concrete and filled with a sand core. These structures are often built on top of a sand berm overlying sea bed soils....
