Hazard Identification and Assessment for Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading Unit in Offshore Oil Industry
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Floating Production Storage and Offloading Systems (FPSO) are large vessels or ships often equipped with processing facilities and moored to the location for a shorter or longer period of time. The key feature of the ship-shaped FPSO is the mooring turret and the fluid transfer system. The vessel is anchored to the seabed via the turret which allows it to weathervane on a bearing assembly. The well fluids from the subsea wells are routed through flexible riser pipelines to the production facilities of the vessel. Safety is an important topic in the offshore industry. The main aims are to protect the health, safety and welfare of people at work, and to safeguard others. HAZID study provides a general overview of the hazards present in FPSO. HAZID study is a very important part of the formal safety assessment of a FPSO. The complex HAZID is done when the whole plan and layout of the vessel is obtained. The hazards identified are sorted out and a risk matrix is generated. Each hazard is given a risk index according to its probability and severity. The hazards are also compared with different standards which helps for the future reference of hazard associated with a FPSO.
