2002 - BG – BG Oman Pipeline QRA, Oman
Summary
A high-pressure gas transmission pipeline required a thorough safety and risk assessment to ensure safe operation and regulatory compliance.
Challanges
Evaluating risks associated with pipeline failure, rupture, and leaks. Assessing the consequences of toxic gas dispersion and explosion hazards near populated areas. Developing emergency response strategies for pipeline failures.
Solution
Conducted a Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) along the entire pipeline route.
Used historical failure data and industry benchmarks such as OREDA for failure frequency analysis.
Simulated gas dispersion and overpressure effects using PHAST software.
Recommended integrity management strategies, including real-time monitoring and preventive maintenance.
