Offshore oil and gas operation are a high hazard business that requires a robust safety and environmental case demonstration as well as justification for continued operation throughout the life of the offshore asset. KKRisk can assist with the necessary safety studies to support a safety case demonstration.
Please see below for our range of offshore safety support services.
Fire & Explosion Risk Analysis
A Fire and Explosion Risk Analysis (FERA) is a type of risk analysis applied only to fires and explosions. This analysis can be used by existing installation as a possible approach to the assessment required for the prevention of fires and explosions, and the adequacy of emergency response systems during combined operations.
Temporary Refuge Impairment Analysis
A Temporary Refuge (TR) is required to provide protection against the effects of a major accident events for long enough to allow the workforce to muster, the emergency to be assessed and decisions to be taken and implemented to remove personnel from the hazard.
Quantitative Risk Analysis
A Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is the term used for an assessment of all risks to life, safety functions and the asset. The assessment includes a consideration of the effects of escalation of primary events.
Evacuation, Escape & Rescue Analysis
Evacuation, Escape and Rescue Analysis (EERA) is applied only to evacuation, escape and rescue from emergencies on an offshore installation. The objective of the EERA is to assess the adequacy of the Evacuation, Escape and Rescue (EER) arrangements for dealing with emergencies on an installation.
Emergency Systems Survivability Analysis
Emergency systems are those systems that are essential for the preservation of human life and the maintenance of life support after a major accident event on an installation. Emergency Systems Survivability Analysis (ESSA) is intended to assess the ability of emergency systems to withstand accident conditions such as fire, smoke, toxic gas and blast.
Passive Fire Protection Analysis
Passive Fire Protection (PFP) Analysis is a detailed fire risk analysis for critical process equipment or structural member with the purpose of determining the PFP requirement for the critical equipment or structural member.
Dropped Object Risk Analysis
Large objects may be dropped during lifting operations such as construction, supply boat unloading, simultaneous operation (e.g. drilling and production), maintenance, etc. If these loads are accidentally dropped, the impacts could be asset damage leading to loss of containment, failure of buoyancy systems, etc.
Ship Collision Risk Analysis
A Ship Collision Risk Analysis is used to assess the risk of collisions between a ship and an offshore installation. The overall risk posed to an offshore installation due to a ship collision is a function of the likelihood of a ship colliding with the installation and the impact energy transferred during the collision.
Performance Standards Development
The Performance Standard is a statement of the performance required of a system, item of equipment or computer program, expressed in qualitative or quantitative terms, which is used as the basis for integrity assurance throughout the asset / system life cycle.
