The Arabian Gulf is regarded as a worldwide oil industry center. Iraq's oil ports are one of the major oil transportation hubs in the Arabian Gulf, and any spills might pollute the marine environment. A GNOME model, a physical model that illustrates the motions of oil spills in seawater and probable danger zones, is used to simulate the oil spill trajectory to have a better understanding of the spill's destiny. Oil spill trajectory modeling provides a prediction in advance of the direction of movement of the oil slick and the time it will take to reach the coast. The form requires the input of data on the time of the release of the spill, the duration of the release, the amount of the spill, and the speed and direction of both currents and winds. In this paper, different oil spill trajectory scenarios are simulated From Single point mooring (SPM1) in quantities of 100 and 50 barrels and Basra oil port in quantities of 100 and 50 barrels of medium crude oil In the north of the Arabian Gulf. The model's findings aid competent authorities in developing their emergency management strategies for responding to possible dangerous regions and Rapid treatment of oil spills.
