Technical safety barrier management in StatoilHydro
(2009) Offshore Europe Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition 2009, OE 2009 2. p.732-741- Abstract
The Norwegian Offshore Regulator requires top executives to confirm the safety of their installations with particular focus on established barriers towards large scale accidents. StatoilHydro has implemented a structured approach for assessing the technical safety condition of its key barriers. Performance Standards (PS's) are defined for each barrier and each PS defines a set of Performance Requirements (PR's) to be met by that particular system with respect to system function, integrity, survivability and management respectively. The set of PR's incorporates regulatory and internal requirements as well as best industry practice. Each PR is assessed in terms of the design, the condition and the operation of that particular part of the... (More)
The Norwegian Offshore Regulator requires top executives to confirm the safety of their installations with particular focus on established barriers towards large scale accidents. StatoilHydro has implemented a structured approach for assessing the technical safety condition of its key barriers. Performance Standards (PS's) are defined for each barrier and each PS defines a set of Performance Requirements (PR's) to be met by that particular system with respect to system function, integrity, survivability and management respectively. The set of PR's incorporates regulatory and internal requirements as well as best industry practice. Each PR is assessed in terms of the design, the condition and the operation of that particular part of the safety barrier. A combined in-depth shore-based and offshore assessment program reviews compliance with the PR's and assigns a common grading, The TTS process focuses on a systematic assessment of the actual technical integrity and condition of process safety barriers implemented in facilities in operation, as well as facilities under design and construction. TTS provides a powerful approach to: • Measure and ensure safety performance • Prioritize corrective actions and major accident hazard risk management improvement initiatives • Build process safety awareness and competence • Demonstrate regulatory compliance.
