Though the exposed wellhead counts designated as Wet, Percent
Exposed Wet, Critical, and Percent Exposed Critical fluctuate beyond
a Category 2_0.3 m storm, there is an overall increase in exposure as
depth of water increases. This is evident by comparing the Dry column
to the flooded column in Table 6. Table 6 also shows the output of
the calibrated depth model framework for wellhead exposure to the
SLR scenarios. The difference in exposure from Category to Category
considering SLR shows a greater degree of increase for smaller storms.
Category 1_0.0 m to Category 2_0.0 m demonstrates the greatest
overall increase of flooded wellheads, yet shows a net reduction of
exposure between Category 2_1.2 m and a Category 3_0.0 m storm.
There is also a net reduction between Category 3_1.2 m and Category
4_0.0 m. However, examination of the tables shows a trend of
increasing exposure for increased storm strength, and an increase of
exposure within each storm category for increased SLR scenarios. The
only exception is Category 5_0.6 m to Category 5_0.9 m, where Critical
and Flooded categories are static.
