1. Emergency Response on FPSO
Major Accident Events
&
Emergency Response on FPSO to
prevent disasters like Piper Alpha (Preparedness, Response, Recovery and Mitigation)

2. About FPSO
Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit is a huge dominant floating production system for offshore oil and gas fields. FPSOs are effective development solutions for both deep-water and ultradeep-water fields and their main advantage is the agility and ability to process and store the hydrocarbons.

6. MAE’s Loss of containment (un-ignited) - Environmental Oil Pollution
Loss of containment (ignited) - Fire & Explosion
Fatality(ies)
Helicopter crash
Structural failure / loss of buoyancy
Extreme weather / natural disasters
Piracy / bomb threat / terrorist activity / Cyber attack

7. MAE’s & RISKS
Potentially hazardous processes and operations are identified during the Project Phase, in order to, as far as possible; eliminate these hazards during the engineering process. Where residual risk remains, “barriers” are provided for the prevention, detection, mitigation and control of Major Accident Events (MAEs).
What are these barriers

8. Why barriers?
THREAT
(e.g. corrosion)
INCIDENT
(e.g. gas release)
CONSEQUENCE
(e.g. fire)
Barriers prevent an incident occurring or stop it getting worse

9. What is a barrier? Barriers can be categorised as plant, process or people.

10. Types of Barriers Plant Process People
Barriers can be grouped into 3 categories: plant, process and people.
Plant
Safety equipment and systems designed into our plant
Process
The way we work
People
The right people, with the right behaviours, who are trained and competent for the role

11. Types of Barriers Plant
Safety equipment and systems designed into our plant
Think of examples of plant barriers
Process pipework
Deluge
Xmas Tree
Lifeboats
Temporary Refuge
Primary Structure
ESDVs
PSVs
Process Instrumentation
Water-tight door
Flare
Sprinkler system

12. Types of Barriers Process The way we work
Think of examples of process barriers
Permit to work
Operating procedures
Maintenance procedures
Management of change
Isolation standards
Site induction
Toolbox talk
Control of Work

13. Types of Barriers People
The right people, with the right behaviours trained and competent for the role
Think of examples of people barriers
Training
Skills (up-to-date)
Right behaviours
Effective communication
Knowledge
Education

14. Safety & Environmental Critical Elements (SECEs)
A SECE is a barrier which is a piece of safety equipment or a system which
prevents a Major Accident happening or stops one getting worse.
Why do you think these are regarded as Safety Critical?

21. Emergency Preparedness
The Facility’s emergency preparedness arrangements provide and establish:
• An organizational structure capable of handling major incident events effectively;
• Emergency Response Plan (ERP) in respect of the identified MIEs
• Arrangements with respect to emergency training & drills;
• A means for partial or full evacuation; and
• A communication structure for the provision of external assistance, support and reporting.

24. Restoration

25. We have to move from tradition of Response to a culture of prevention,
a culture of resilience.
