Risks associated with transportation of Class 3 packing group II & III hazardous materials in transport by motor carriers were investigated. Incident data was collected from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) database for a period 10 years (2005–2014). The incident screened later small quantities (≤ 8 gallons) single component (32,455 incidents). Root causes incidents (31,307 incidents) categorized according to different phases corresponding frequencies...
Despite multitier safeguards in any drilling/production operation, blowouts do occur. Over the past few decades many with serious consequences happened, such as Ekofisk Bravo blowout, Ixtoc I Enchova Central Kaixian and Deepwater Horizon blowout. SINTEF database (2016) reported a total of 263 incidents from 1980 to 2012 US Gulf Mexico (GoM) Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) North Sea. Thus, blowout prevention plays crucial role planning decision making during well activity. To design an...
Abstract The Oil and Gas industry has historically relied on lagging indicators (e.g., number of spill events, volume spill, well kicks, personal safety statistics) for measuring monitoring performance. Even though these metrics provide some useful information an organization's culture, they do not offer any predictive insights. Leading are events that can lead to or contribute towards incident. Well control incidents low frequency-high consequence events. Carefully developed tracked leading...
