Fatigue monitoring in offshore energy operations: Research to Practice gaps
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
The oil and gas extraction (OGE) industry continues to experience an elevated fatality rate; from 2010-2014 fatality the rate in this industry was nearly seven times higher than that for all U.S. workers. OGE workers are ...
Benefits of Simple Consequence Modeling for Burner Management Systems
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
The current approach used to analyze fired heaters during a Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) is inefficient and outdated. Fired heaters can be one of the more complex systems evaluated in a PHA, however they certainly aren’t ...
The Challenges Achieving Compliance to RAGAGEP in Process Safety Management Enforcement and the Impact of Non-Compliance to Budget and Schedule
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
Every 5 to 8 years’ large waves of capital spending occur known as MEGA Projects. These projects are effectively 1 or more Billion US dollars in Total Installed costs (TIC). When these projects are part of a global race ...
Mitigation of Industrial Hazards by Water Spray Curtains
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
A Nowadays, the water spray curtain is recognized as a useful technique to mitigate major industrial hazards. It combines attractive features such as simplicity of use, efficiency and adaptability to different types of ...
A Resilience Index for Process Safety Analysis
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
Qualitative risk analysis is focused on applying methods to prevent accidents in diverse process plants. The numerical number resulting in the QRA tells nothing about the ability for systems’ recovery if an upset related ...
Case Study of Relief Analysis of Compressor Stations
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
A compressor station is a facility which helps the transportation process of natural gas from one location to another. Compressor stations include several key component parts, the primary being the actual compressor unit, ...
