Abstract
Oil is a generic term that can cover a very wide range of natural hydrocarbon-based substances and also refined petrochemical products. Crude oil and petroleum products can have a range of physical properties on the basis of which their behaviour in the marine environment can differ widely. These properties range from viscosity (the rate at which liquid flows), density, and specific gravity (density relative to water).
