Frequently, offshore oil spills have a significant impact on the marine environment and fishery resources, resulting in huge economic losses. Due to a lot of projects are involved in oil spill and the process is complex, the injured party lacks the evidence to support the evaluation of the oil spill impact on the environment. Therefore, many oil spill claims event had not been properly resolved. In this paper, we designed an environmental impact assessment system of offshore oil spill for improving the above-mentioned situation. The major functions of this system are data management, query analysis, spatial modeling analysis, evaluation of forecast, user management and so on. Environmental impact assessment system of oil spill can predict and evaluate the oil spill’s impact on environment. It’s significant for the protection of the environment and planning. In addition, it also has a realistic significance for providing some basis for claims issues.

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) emphasize and intended to access and evaluate the impacts on the environment of any possible alternative and initiative in decision making process. In this paper, the biggest impact of oil spills in the history, which is the BP oil spill are discuss. The calculation especially calculate the oil spread by the average of wind and wave. The spread are effected while an oil spill in the water surface and expose to the environment. This exposure might evaporated to the air or maybe spread into the water flow and might be dissolved in the water it self. In making these calculation successfull, the main equation disscuss here are the dispersion model. This model cover all aspects of dispersion and its consequences while it is burst once at the atmosphere. Besides, in order to find the oil evaporation and its spreadable, the calculation have been made which is the same equation to calculate the SHELL spills before.
