The is no one area of science nor engineering that is completely dedicated to the study of oil spills.

However, many areas of science, engineering and mathematics are involved.

The marine biologists, environmentalists, ecologists and petroleum engineers study oil spills. An oil spill may come from many sources, such as pipelines, refineries, barges, production platforms and wells, so the people associated with these areas may require specialists in oil spills and clean up measures.

Government officials with responsibilities to keeping land and water ways free of pollution, must also have some understanding of oil spills.
