| Popis: | Improved tools are needed to manage major accident hazard of progressively more complex offshore oil&gas systems in environmentally sensitive areas. Inherent safety principles provide a strategic opportunity to reduce major accident hazards since the early design phase, but a suitable metric to orient safer design choices is needed to apply such principles intro practice. This study aims at providing a systematic approach to the assessment of the hazard profile of alternative process designs in offshore oil & gas production facilities. A novel methodology providing a ranking of inherently safer solutions in conceptual design is described. The methodology is able to highlight the different contributors to the safety profile of the offshore oil & gas production system, linking them to the specific features of the design. The proposed approach, based on multi-criteria Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), addresses different targets (people, assets, environment) and provides a quantitative assessment of the safety score, accounting for both the possible accident consequences and their credibility. An application to a case study concerning an offshore facility for gas production is discussed to demonstrate the potential of the methodology. |
