Pipelines play significant roles in the major phases of petroleum exploration, drilling, refining and distribution. are often subjected to harsh environments which make them be susceptible failure, leading oil leakage environmental pollution. The objective this work is undertake failure analysis failed schedule 40-inch manifold pipe from Shell Petroleum Development Company, Port Harcourt, Nigeria with a view ascertaining causes failure. Visual examination, chemical metallographical analyses,...
This paper outlines a decision-support model based on Evidential Reasoning (ER) and Cost–Benefit-Analysis (CBA) to support the assessment of risk control measures for pipeline loss containment following third party damage. The identifies main Risk Control Options (RCOs) as basic attributes, which are grouped into three categories: technical or technological, governmental, managerial solutions. CBA examines costs associated with regarding human safety, economic environmental aspects that...
