Abstract：In recent years the pollution caused by marine oil spill occurs frequently at home and abroad,which has made the whole society pay much attention to the marine pollution.The marine oil spill volume is not only an important index for evaluating the threat degree of marine oil spill accident and determining the grade of oil spill accident,but also an important basis for pollution compensation and accountability.Also,it plays an important role for the in-situ oil spill response and scientific decision making.Several major methods for preliminary evaluation of marine oil spill volume are summarized and analyzed,which include mass balance method,technical process method,field observation method and numerical simulation method.Different methods are suitable for different sources and ways of oil spill so that the estimated oil spill volume is usually not the same.In the practical application,it is common to select multiple methods for the comprehensive assessment of oil spill volume according to the concrete conditions.For practical application,several methods available for the assessment of oil spill volume are discussed and illustrated by combination with practical cases.
