Abstract:

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2013.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Gas lift valves are widely used in oil production fields to pump recycled gas and nitrogen into the production tubing, to sustain production by aerating the oil and lifting it to the ground or sea surface. Today's industry standard, a pressure-actuated valve, is susceptible to various modes of failure, including corrosion and jamming. Safety mechanisms are needed to seal the valve in case of a backflow event, in which oil flows backward through the production

Abstract:

Investigations and analyses typically demonstrate that accidents at work, even those with a relatively limited extent of loss, are seldom caused by one single causal factor. Despite this, some causes are identified more frequently than others and across different types of workplace accidents. One type of such causes forms the point of departure for this thesis, namely safety violations, i.e. actions that are contrary to a written safety instruction. However, rather than focusing on violations as a cause of mishaps and thus embracing aberrant behaviour as a meaningful and satisfactory explanati

Abstract:

This main aim of this work is to develop a “design for safety” based risk assessment technique for the offshore platforms in order to facilitate decision making. This is achieved through detailed examination of related risks, and review of relevant literatures and traditional safety assessment methods leading to the development of a new knowledge-based risk assessment method (KBRAM) through the research methodology process. The methodology involves detailed definition of the research aim and objectives, further literature review on risk analysis and the related topics of safety assessment and

Abstract:

Safety is a major concern in the oil and gas industry due to accidents with the potential for catastrophic consequences. One of these was the Piper Alpha drilling platform disaster in 1988, which resulted in the loss of the Piper Alpha platform and the subsequently 167 lives; the worst disaster in the oil and gas industry. To foster a proactive approach in the prevention of workplace injuries, organisations have turned towards key predictors of safety, such as leadership. However, simply practising leadership behaviours is not enough to improve safety, especially in safety-critical organisatio

As regards the regulatory architecture, it concludes that it is characterised by fragmented agencies under piecemeal legislation. This has resulted in regulatory overlap and lacunae.

Abstract:

The established approach to safety management has failed to handle socio-technical systems that have become more complex. The main argument is this approach is based on assumptions that systems are protected against accidents by barriers (well-trained people, redundant mechanisms and safety devices, and procedures and safe systems of work). Complex systems, such as maintenance, are actually labour intensive; maintenance staff often works under pressure to finish tasks as rapidly as possible. They continuously adapt and make adjustments using available resources, time, knowledge, and competence

Lifelines provide the vital utilities for human being in the modern life. They convey a great variety of products in order to meet the general needs. Also, buried continuous pipelines are generally used to transmit energy sources, such as natural gas and crude oil, from production sources to target places. To be able to sustain this energy corridor efficiently and safely, interruption of the flow should be prevented as much as possible. This can be achieved providing target reliability index standing for the desired level of performance and reliability. For natural gas transmission, assessment

As a part of risk management, barrier management proves to be one of the critical factors in maintaining a safe state for operation in the oil and gas industry. With the introduction of non-traditional school of thought (Safety-I vs. Safety-II) on what safety is and how to achieve it, methods such as Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) have been developed to map sociotechnical systems from a different perspective. FRAM’s potential to be used explicitly in barrier management has yet to be demonstrated. Thus, this study aims to find out how FRAM, as a Safety-II approach, can add value to

Abstract:

The Offshore Installation Manager (OIM) performs one of the most complex and critical roles within the UK offshore oil and gas industry. The OIM is responsible for the safety and well-being of all persons onboard and within 500m of the installation whilst operating within an isolated and hostile physical environment within the UK Continental Shelf . The persistence of major incidents in the industry highlights the importance of OIM competence in controlling emergencies, consequently the research aims to contribute to new knowledge by identifying the potential barriers that can prevent the effe

Abstract:

Світ розвивається, і для розвитку потребує щоразу більше енергоресурсів: газу, нафти, вугілля, енергії сонця, вітру, води. Нині виникла потреба з розробки нових джерел енергетичних ресурсів немає і їх технології добування. Єдиним енергоджерелом, що має на сьогоднішній день виняткові якості товару-замінника, є сланцевий газ.

Abstract:

Diploma thesis describes situation of Russian federation as an energy power. It is concerned with relationships of EU and Russia, especially with the distribution of russian energy resources to Europe. It describes projected gas pipelines, which do not cross the territory of Ukraine. Thesis analyses European union dependence on energy supplies (especially gas supplies) from Russia and is concerned with the question of Energy security. In the thesis there are introduced both relationships of Russia and EU (one subchapter is devoted also to relationships of Russia and Czech republic) and relatio

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references.<br>This study is specifically concerned with the effect of occupational health and safety (hereafter OHS) law in Angola and the protection it offers to employees in the oil and gas industry. The current Angolan OHS legislation continues to be characterised by the pre-independence legal system inherited from the colonial era, which creates a crisis of legitimacy and justice. This crisis may be resolved through the ratification of the International Labour Organisation OHS conventions. This dissertation examines workplace health and safety in Angola from a leg

Abstract:

Carbon dioxide corrosion, which can cause premature failure of oil and gas pipelines, is an imperative health, safety and environmental issue in the oil and gas industry. Extensive studies have been conducted to understand the formation and role of iron carbonate scale, which is the most probable scale formation under CO2 corrosion. This scale can be protective toward the carbon steel pipelines. However, many post failure studies and ex-situ corrosion product scale analyses have shown the presence of thick corrosion product scale that consists mainly of black magnetite scale.The formation of m

Abstract:

Дисертація присвячена розробленню науково-технічних методів та способів зменшення шкідливого впливу викидів компресорних станцій в атмосферне повітря. Проаналізовано сучасний стан досліджень рівня екологічної безпеки в районах розташування компресорних станцій. Вивчено та узагальнено екологічні моделі утворення шкідливих викидів, пов'язаних з процесами горіння газу в камерах згорання, лід час роботи газотурбінних установок. Приведено модель роботи камери згорання з урахуванням її параметрів і технологічних режимів роботи газоперекачувального агрегату. Проаналізовано механізми утворення шкідлив
