Abstract
Development of oil and gas deposits off Sakhalin's northern coast in the sea of Okhotsk are currently under way.An accident involving a spill of crude oil could be expected to affectthe environment and economy of the Hokkaido's Okhotsk coast.If the oil spill occurred in winter season due to the accidents of pipeline, oil tanker and oil rigs, spilled oil would be trapped under the ice floes. If the operation for recovery of spilled oil will be late, spilled oil under the ice floes will be trapped in the ice sheet. In this paper the authors report the behavior of spilled oil trapped under ice sheet and the permeation of spilled oil into ice sheet.
