Safety instrumented systems (SIS) are to be followed up during operation at a facility. An important part of SIS follow-up is to ensure that all relevant SIS requirements from the design phase are fulfilled during the entire lifetime of the facility. The safety integrity level (SIL) and the...

Safety instrumented systems (SISs) implemented on petroleum installations must be highly reliable to protect human life and environment. As of today, monitoring and follow-up of technical status of SIS components require considerable manual effort by extracting and interpreting maintenance and...

Denne forstudierapporten sammenstiller informasjon om status og utfordringer med hensyn til tilstand og vedlikehold av sikkerhetskritisk utstyr i petroleumsvirksomheten. Dette dekker grensesnittet mellom vedlikeholdsstyring og barrierestyring. Sammenstillingen baserer seg på en gjennomgang av...

Reliable failure rate estimates of safety critical equipment is crucial for verifying performance requirements and for trending the safety performance of the equipment. Joint industry efforts, like OREDA, Exida and PDS handbooks, supported by international standardization on data collection such...

The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway has stressed the need to manage and monitor operational and organizational barrier elements. Personnel should understand what barriers have been established and which function they are intended to fulfil, and performance requirements should be defined in respect...

Det er i denne rapporten gjort en kartlegging og vurdering avhvordan petroleumsnæringen definerer og anvender begrepet "Worst Credible Process Fire" (WCPF). Begrepet brukes ved utforming av innretninger for å sikre at disse er robuste når det gjelder å motstå branner med opphav i prosessområdet...
