The challenge

To address potential risks and hazards associated with installation ESP’s on the existing platforms, and installing completely new platforms with ESP’s, Process Risk Consulting were instructed with the task of chairing a series of Safety Study to identify the hazards that could lead to overpressure pressure scenarios in order to ensure that the High Integtiy Protection System (HIPS) can protect against them. This was done through chairing a series of Overpressure Process Hazard Analysis (OPHA) (also known as a HAZOP) and an Overpressure Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) for the entire network of platforms going upto the onshore Gas Oil Separation Plant (GOSP).
