Download or read book Offshore Risk Assessment Vol. 2 written by Jan-Erik Vinnem and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first textbook to address quantified risk assessment (QRA) as specifically applied to offshore installations and operations. As the second part of the two-volume updated and expanded fourth edition, it adds a new focus on the recent development of Normally Unattended Installations (NUIs), which are essentially autonomous installations that combine digitalization, big data, drones and machine learning, and can be supported by W2W (walk-to-work) vessels. These minimalistic installations with no helideck and very limited safety systems will require a new approach to risk assessment and emergency planning, especially during manned periods involving W2W vessels. Separate chapters analyse the main hazards for offshore structures: fire, explosion, collision, and falling objects, as well as structural and marine hazards. The book explores possible simplifications of risk assessment for traditional manned installations. Risk mitigation and control are also discussed, as well as how the results of quantitative risk assessment studies should be presented. In closing, the book provides an updated approach to environmental risk assessment. The book offers a comprehensive reference guide for academics and students of marine/offshore risk assessment and management. It will also be of interest to professionals in the industry, as well as contractors, suppliers, consultants and regulatory authorities.

Download or read book Guidelines for the Assessment of Reports on Major Hazards Based on the Requirements of Directive 2013/30/EU written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blowout on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig on April 20th 2010, whilst drilling the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico, significantly raised worldwide awareness of the risks involved in offshore oil and gas operations. In addition to the tragic loss of eleven lives, the blowout released nearly five million barrels of oil into the waters of the Gulf, and is considered to be the world's largest accidental oil spill from offshore operations. In order to ensure a high level of safety in the European offshore oil and gas industry, the EU Parliament and the Council published Directive 2013/30/EU, amending Directive 2004/35, obliging national Competent Authorities to control safety aspects of the offshore oil and gas installations in their waters. One of the fundamental new requirements of Directive 2013/30/EU is the preparation and submission by owners and operators of a Report on Major Hazards (RoMH) for every offshore installation. The RoMH aims at providing evidence that the overall risks from the installation (both to operators and to the environment) have been reduced to an acceptable level. Offshore oil and gas operations can only be conducted by that installation if its RoMH has been assessed and accepted by the Competent Authority of the relevant Member State. A Competent Authority (CA) - appointed pursuant to Directive 2013/30/EU - should be legally empowered and capable of performing the assessment of the relevant RoMHs. In order to assist CAs to acquire these competencies, the European Commission's Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER) appointed the Joint Research Centre (JRC) for the development of a Virtual Centre of Offshore Safety Expertise (ViCOS).

Download or read book Offshore Risk Assessment vol 1. written by Jan-Erik Vinnem and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-24 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offshore Risk Assessment was 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 more than three decades 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. This updated and expanded third edition has been informed by a major R&D program on offshore risk assessment in Norway and summarizes research from 2006 to the present day. Rooted with a thorough discussion of risk metrics and 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 objects as well as structural and marine hazards. Risk mitigation and control are discussed, as well as an illustration of how the results from quantitative risk assessment studies should be presented. The third second edition has a stronger focus on the use of risk assessment techniques in the operation of offshore installations. Also decommissioning of installations is covered. Not only does Offshore Risk Assessment describe the state of the art of QRA, it also identifies weaknesses and areas that need further development. This new edition also illustrates applications or quantitative risk analysis methodology to offshore petroleum applications. A comprehensive reference for academics and students of marine/offshore risk assessment and management, the book should also be owned by professionals in the industry, contractors, suppliers, consultants and regulatory authorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the gamut of coastal hazards that result from short-term low-frequency events and have high-magnitude and far-reaching impacts on coastal zones the world over. Much of the world’s population now lives in low-lying coastal zones that are inherently vulnerable to natural hazards such as flooding from hurricanes, tropical storms and northeastern storm surges; shoreline (beach and dune) erosion; cliff and bluff failures; and saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers used for drinking water supplies. In addition to the usual range of hydrometeorological disasters in coastal zones, this book covers tsunami impacts and warning systems as well as global perspectives of sea-level rise impacts and human perceptions of potential vulnerabilities resulting from rip currents that cause many drownings each year on beaches. Today, the use of numerical models that help predict vulnerabilities and provide a basis for shore protection measures is important in modern scientific and engineering systems. Final considerations focus on human actions in the form of the urbanization and industrialization of the coast, shore protection measures, and indicate how environmental degradation around coastal conurbations exacerbates the potential for unwanted impacts. Strategies for environmental management in coastal zones, from low-lying wetlands to high cliffs and rocky promontories, are highlighted as a means of living in harmony with Nature and not trying to conquer it.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Risk Studies written by Adam Burgess and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is over 40 years since we began to reflect upon risk in a more social than technological and economic fashion, firstly making sense of the gap between expert and public assessment of risks, such as to our health and environment. With fixed certainties of the past eroded and the technological leaps of ‘big data’, ours is truly an age of risk, uncertainty and probability - from Google’s algorithms to the daily management of personal lifestyle risks. Academic reflection and research has kept pace with these dizzying developments but remains an intellectually fragmented field, shaped by professional imperatives and disciplinary boundaries, from risk analysis to regulation and social research. This is the first attempt to draw together and define risk studies, through a definitive collection written by the leading scholars in the field. It will be an indispensable resource for the many scholars, students and professionals engaging with risk but lacking a resource to draw it all together.
