Barrier status panel: Tool for barrier management

Abstract

In the area of Barrier Management, it is very imperative to identify and manage all the critical barrier elements, related to the barrier functions, which further are kept in place to avoid major accident hazards identified for any oil and gas facility. Barrier status panel is a web based tool which helps to monitor and verify the barriers at all times. This is an integrated platform where all the conditions, which can impair a barrier, are visualized from the barrier element level to the overall risk picture. This ensures safe operation and robust barriers throughout the lifecycle of the petroleum facility.
