Offshore Risk Assessment
Offshore Risk Assessment is the first book to deal with quantified risk assessment (QRA) as applied specifically to offshore installations and operations. Risk assessment techniques have been used for some years in the offshore oil and gas industry, and their use is set to expand increasingly as the industry moves into new areas and faces new challenges in older regions. The book starts with a thorough discussion of risk analysis methodology. Subsequent chapters are devoted to analytical approaches to escalation, escape, evacuation and rescue analysis of safety and emergency systems. Separate chapters analyze the main hazards of offshore structures: Fire, explosion, collision and falling obj...
Risk Governance of Offshore Oil and Gas Operations
This book evaluates and compares risk regulation and safety management for offshore oil and gas operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Norway, and Australia. It provides an interdisciplinary approach with legal, technological, and sociological perspectives on their efforts to assess and prevent major accidents and improve safety performance offshore. Presented in three parts, the volume begins with a review of the technical, legal, behavioral, and sociological factors involved in designing, implementing, and enforcing a regulatory regime for industrial safety. It then evaluates the four regulatory regimes that encompass the cultural, legal, and other contextual factors that influen...
Oilfield Engineering with Polymers Conference
This series of conferences, occurring regularly since 1996, is becoming recognised as the leading forum for open discussion on the behaviour of non-metallic materials when used in upstream oilfield service. Offshore oil & gas production is frequently associated with harsh operating environments. Equipment, systems and components used must survive these rigours whilst continuing to operate efficiently for long periods. The event provided an excellent overview of the current state and future potential for polymers in the oilfield environment. Session 1: Rapid Gas (Explosive) Decompression: Mechanisms And Laboratory Versus Field; Session 2: Laminated Polymer/Metal Structures: Development And Design Session 3: Risers And Pipelines Thermoplastics: Testing And Qualification; Session 4: Pipelines: Repair Guidelines And Insulation; Session 5: High Pressure Gas Permeation Through Oilfield Polymers Session 6: Advanced Composites: Durability In Water And Service In Downhole Environments; Session 7: Thermoplastics For High Pressure And Other Oilfield Service; Session 8: Fluorinated Elastomers For Severe Oilfield Service; Session 9: Thermal Insulation
Oilfield Engineering with Polymers 2006
This fifth international MERL Oilfield Engineering with Polymers conference, organised jointly with Rapra Technology, provided a unique forum to discuss the latest developments in the selection, qualification and performance of polymeric materials. It brought together operators, contractors, equipment and component suppliers, materials suppliers and research organisations involved with polymers and their use in oil & gas sector applications.
Ageing and Life Extension of Offshore Structures
A comprehensive overview of managing and assessing safety and functionality of ageing offshore structures and pipelines A significant proportion, estimated at over 50%, of the worldwide infrastructure of offshore structures and pipelines is in a life extension phase and is vulnerable to ageing processes. This book captures the central elements of the management of ageing offshore structures and pipelines in the life extension phase. The book gives an overview of: the relevant ageing processes and hazards; how ageing processes are managed through the life cycle, including an overview of structural integrity management; how an engineer should go about assessing a structure that is to be operat...
Safety and Reliability. Theory and Applications
Safety and Reliability – Theory and Applications contains the contributions presented at the 27th European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL 2017, Portorož, Slovenia, June 18-22, 2017). The book covers a wide range of topics, including: • Accident and Incident modelling • Economic Analysis in Risk Management • Foundational Issues in Risk Assessment and Management • Human Factors and Human Reliability • Maintenance Modeling and Applications • Mathematical Methods in Reliability and Safety • Prognostics and System Health Management • Resilience Engineering • Risk Assessment • Risk Management • Simulation for Safety and Reliability Analysis • Structural Reliabi...
Condition Assessment of Aged Structures
Any structural system in service is subject to age-related deterioration, leading to potential concerns regarding maintenance, health & safety, environmental and economic implications. Condition assessment of aged structures is an invaluable, single source of information on structural assessment techniques for marine and land-based structures such as ships, offshore installations, industrial plant and buildings. Topics covered include: - - Current practices and standards for structural condition assessment - - Fundamental mechanisms and advanced mathematical methods for predicting structural deterioration - - Residual strength assessment of deteriorated structures - - Inspection and maintena...
Offshore Risk Assessment Vol. 1
This is the first textbook to address quantified risk assessment (QRA) as specifically applied to offshore installations and operations. As the first part of the two-volume updated and expanded fourth edition, it adds a new focus on the EU Offshore Safety Directive, and discusses the new perspective on risk from the Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority, followed by new and updated international standards. New safety statistics for the Norwegian sectors are presented, as well as new case studies on international offshore accidents, such as the explosion on FPSO Sao Mateus in 2015, which involved 9 fatalities. Separate chapters analyse the main hazards for offshore structures: fire, explosion,...

Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures
UNDERWATER INSPECTION AND REPAIR FOR OFFSHORE STRUCTURES Benefit from a much-needed, up-to-date handbook on underwater inspection and repair processes and technologies Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures fills a gap in the literature to provide an overview of the inspection and repair processes for both steel and concrete offshore structures. Authors and noted experts on the topic John V. Sharp and Gerhard Esdal guide readers through the reasons why inspection and repair are performed and how both are linked to the management of structural integrity, statutory requirements, and various types of damage. The book addresses critical topics, including the execution and plann...
