Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These proceedings from day one of this two-day Offshore Conference address the safety of offshore structures, including the developments in risk assessment from implementing performance standards, designing and developing emergency response and the costs and benefits of decommissioning. After a keynote address entitled 10 Years Since Piper Alpha - Meeting the Challenge in Structural Safety, the papers under Verification and Performance Standards included: formal safety assessment (FSA) for offshore installations, PFEER/DCR and verification risk centred/cost-effective verification, and development of safety critical elements and performance standards. Operations and Emergency Response discussed: an integrated risk based approach to design and operate offshore installations, design and escape - evacuation and rescue systems for a FPSO vessel, and development of models and data for quantification of human reliability on emergency management. Decommissioning studied: decommissioning offshore oil and gas installations - the industry view, and risk assessment in the design process. A delegates list is included.

Book Optimization and Business Improvement Studies in Upstream Oil and Gas Industry

Download or read book Optimization and Business Improvement Studies in Upstream Oil and Gas Industry written by Sanjib Chowdhury and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delves into the core and functional areas in the upstream oil and gas industry covering a wide range of operations and processes Oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) activities are costly, risky and technology-intensive. With the rise in global demand for oil and fast depletion of easy reserves, the search for oil is directed to more difficult areas – deepwater, arctic region, hostile terrains; and future production is expected to come from increasingly difficult reserves – deeper horizon, low quality crude. All these are making E&P activities even more challenging in terms of operations, technology, cost and risk. Therefore, it is necessary to use scarce resources judiciously and optimize strategies, cost and capital, and improve business performance in all spheres of E&P business. Optimization and Business Improvement Studies in Upstream Oil and Gas Industry contains eleven real-life optimization and business improvement studies that delve into the core E&P activities and functional areas covering a wide range of operations and processes. It uses various quantitative and qualitative techniques, such as Linear Programing, Queuing theory, Critical Path Analysis, Economic analysis, Best Practices Benchmark, Business Process Simplification etc. to optimize Productivity of drilling operations Controllable rig time loss Deepwater exploration strategy Rig move time and activity schedule Offshore supply vessel fleet size Supply chain management system Strategic workforce and human resource productivity Base oil price for a country Standardize consumption of materials Develop uniform safety standards for offshore installations Improve organizational efficiency through business process simplification The book will be of immense interest to practicing managers, professionals and employees at all levels/ disciplines in oil and gas industry. It will also be useful to academicians, scholars, educational institutes, energy research institutes, and consultants dealing with oil and gas. The work can be used as a practical guide to upstream professionals and students in petroleum engineering programs.

Book Blue Economy and Ocean Sustainable Development in a Globalised World  Social  Political  Economic and Environmental Issues

Download or read book Blue Economy and Ocean Sustainable Development in a Globalised World Social Political Economic and Environmental Issues written by Ibukun J. Adewumi and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, the concept of a Blue Economy has ignited a deep theoretical debate. Ranging from the integration of the triple bottom line of sustainability to the optimization of profit from ocean exploitation, the meaning of the term blue economy differs considerably between epistemic communities and even more so among national and regional policies. There is a general sense of the opportunity to realise enhanced social and economic benefits from the sustainable utilisation of their ocean and coastal resources under the umbrella framework of blue economy. Blue economy is gaining traction already as a significant component of national policies, even in spite of a clear conceptualization of the term. Many countries are now preparing national policies towards realising their blue economy ambitions, utilizing the concept as they see fit. Likewise, multilateral and regional organisations are developing guidelines, and providing investment in new research, technologies, and financing tools that promote blue economy. Critical challenges abound, in particular in less privileged countries. These include the gap in research capabilities, governments prioritizing social wellbeing and economic profit in contrast to environmental protection, the identification of new and emerging areas of ocean economic activity that are both socially and ecologically sustainable and holds viable business models that can attract private investment.
