Risk Assessment

- Safety Engineering Training – HDD ENSPD - 2021/2022


Reminder : important terms & definitions
HAZARD
 Potential of a compound (e.g. toxic H2S) or working practice (working at elevated place) to cause
damage/loss to persons and/or environment (SEVESO II directive).
 In Oil and Gas industry, accumulated energy in systems is also a HAZARD.

RISK
 Refers to probability that this potential harm occurs
 Combination of the probability of a damage and its gravity (ISO/CEI 51)
 RISK = P___________ x G___________ = P x (I_____________ x V______________)

WHY PERFORMING TECHNOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT?

•TO MAKE ENGINEERING DECISIONS (TO BE UNDER CONTROL!)


•TO GET PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE
•TO COMPLY WITH REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS (when applicable)

TECHNOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT PERMITS TO:

ESTIMATING RISKS LEVELS AND ASSESSING THEIR SIGNIFICANCE (helps to decide where to reduce or not level of
risks).

IDENTIFYING THE MAIN CONTRIBUTORS (Suggests possible targets for Risk Reduction Measures).

CHECKING DESIGN ROBUSTNESS (Design based on Total specifications)

DEFINING DESIGN ACCIDENTS SCENARIOS (Provides design basis for fire protection, emergency evacuation,
emergency planning and training).

COMPARING DESIGN OPTIONS (inputs for the selection of design concepts).

EVALUATING RISK REDUCTION MEASURES (linked with Cost Benefit analysis to choose the most effective ways of
reducing risks)

IDENTIFYING SAFETY CRITICAL PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENTS

IDENTIFYING ACCIDENT PRECURSORS (may be monitored during operation to provide warning of adverse trends in
accidents).

DEMONSTRATING RISK ACCEPTABILITY TO REGULATORS, PUBLIC AND WORKFORCE

Bombay High Offshore North Platform (2005)

Date: 27 July 2005

On 27 July 2005, the vessel had come alongside MHN platform to transfer an
injured person to the platform via personnel basket.

The vessel was considerably large, and at the time was experiencing problems
with one of the azimuth thrusters - it was therefore under manual control during
the approach. At some stage the helideck of the vessel struck one or more of the
exposed unprotected risers of the platform.

The risers of the MHN platform (five 12" export gas lift at 1200 psi, and ten 14/16"
well fluid import) were situated outside the jacket, adjacent to the boat landing
stage at spider deck level.

Riser protection guards were fitted just above sea level, but these were only
designed for smaller offshore supply vessels.

Identify all scenarios based on systematic hazard identification studies.

Conservatively estimate the damage (human, environment, asset)


associated with all scenario event outcomes (qualitatively or semi-
quantitatively).

Conservatively estimate the likelihood of damage associated with all


scenario event outcomes (qualitatively or semi-quantitatively).

Perform a screening based on the Screening matrix to establish the number

Quantification of Risks
Estimation of Damage Frequency

Estimation of Damage frequency involves

 Estimation of Central Hazardous Event frequency FCE

 Estimation of probability related to failure/success of conditional modifiers


 Probability of ignition
 Probability of atmospheric stability
 Probability of wind direction
 Probability of presence of personnel

 Estimation of probability related to failure/success of mitigation and protection measures

39 - Safety Engineering Training – HDD ENSPD - 2021/2022


Quantification of Risks
Estimation of Damage Frequency

Damage frequency is the combination of


 Central Hazardous Event frequency FCE
 Probability of conditional modifiers
 Probability of mitigation and protection measures

FDM = FCE x PA x PM x PP x PW x PH x PF

 PA = probability of ignition, where applicable (otherwise = 1).


 PM = probability related to failure/success of mitigation measures
 PP = probability related to failure/success of protection measures
 PW = probability related to weather conditions
 PH = probability related to human presence
 PF = probability related to release orientation

For PRA, simplified and conservative approach


Probability of conditional modifiers = 1

Comparison of Approaches

Scenario based approach QRA approach

Scenario based risk presentation (People, Global risk presentation (Individual risk per annum)
Environment, Asset)

Risk mitigation based on scenario by scenario. Risk mitigation based on global risk.

Excellent tool for risk communication and Not a very good tool for risk communication
identifying mitigation measures. compared to scenario based approach.

Risk Evaluation : Scenario Based Risk / QRA

Advantages of the QRA (Quantitative Risk Assessment) :


 Assessment of the global risks (sum of the frequencies for all scenarios)
 Possibility to reduce the damage zone by applying risk reduction measures on more
than one scenario

Difficulties :
 QRA
 Mathematical approach
 Complex, accuracy of data, time consuming
 BOTH
 Statistical database validity ?
 Human factor, asset integrity, construction, maintenance and inspection difficult
to account for

Recommendations

Perform Risk Assessment is to :


 Identify all major risks
 Classify those risks and the consequences
 Study risk-reducing measures (prevention or mitigation)
 Determine the top priorities for the investment

Main objectives :
Reduce our major risks
