Understanding oil spill detection, modelling is critical in formulating oil spill response to
minimize the catastrophic environmental impact due to oil spill. This paper provides the key
research results for oil spill response from various published literatures over few decades
which are based on case studies, laboratory tests, fi eld visits and modelling work. This paper
presents an overview and summary of literature reviews on off shore oil spills, fate of spilled oil,
response plans and cleanup methods. A brief discussion on the technological advancements in
identifying oil spills and oil spill modelling is presented. Discussions on the response methods
include recent advances in spill response plans and cleanup methods. The synthesis of published
literatures from various previous work on understanding and mitigation strategies of oil spill
disaster would immensely contribute scientifi c knowledge to deal with the future oil spill.
