Safeguard and mitigation of hazard and operability during simultaneous production and drilling at oil and gas platform

Abstract

Safety in the SIPROD platform design primarily relies on applying various codes of practice or design based on the broad experience and knowledge of professional experts and specialists in the industry. One technique used to study the potential hazards and consequences is the HAZOP study which is defined as the application of formal systematic critical examination to the process and engineering intentions of new or modified SIPROD facilities to assess the hazard potential of individual items of equipment and the consequential effect on the SIPROD facility as a whole. The application is backed up by local SIPROD platform managers, engineers, and operators with direct experience in the relevant plant operation. The HAZOP session describes the SIPROD process and systematically questions each design part by breaking it into pieces or nodes. Each node is assessed using guide words and deviations to discover how these deviations from the original design intent can occur and the resultant hazards and maintenance problems. There may be a deviation in identifying controls that need further investigation. This paper discusses the adequacy of the safeguards concerning safety and operations at the SIPROD platform, evaluates additional safeguards required for the system under study to address and minimize the consequence of deviation, and recommends ways to mitigate the consequences of deviations and return to normal and safe operations.

Active Contour Models for Boundary Extraction with Application to Medical Images with Noise

“…[3], the authors suggested using the additive operator splitting scheme (AOS) to solve the equation. This model has high potential in many research areas such oil and gas industries [26] for corrosian detection, ultrasound imaging in biofuel production [27] and it can be integrated with artificial neural network [28] for image processing. However, although the SSCD model is effective, it may be sensitive to image noise and therefore give unsatisfactory results in medical image segmentation.…”

Biomechanics Analysis of Normal Jump Shot and Fade-Away Jump Shot in Basketball

“…The angle of release varies for each basketball player that depends on the player's height. The most effective release angle is between 45-55 degrees [11,12]. The lower the release angle, the smaller the clearance diameter of the hoop when the basketball reaches the hoop.…”
