Abstract
Subsea shell deployment is a challenging operation due to the harsh marine environment, complex procedures, and potential for human error. This study presents a dynamic safety assessment of the pendulous installation of subsea shells using STAMP and DOOBN. Considering the complexity and multitude of influencing factors in subsea shell operations, STAMP is applied to identify risk factors across four critical stages, i.e., marine transportation, lifting into water, pendulum motion, and seating installation. The causal logic and interactions among these risk factors are analyzed to develop stage-specific DBN models, which are integrated into a DOOBN model for risk assessment of the entire deployment operation. This model enables the evaluation of reliability at each stage, and dynamic failure probabilities can be calculated. The critical influencing factors can be identified, and the risk mitigation strategies can be developed base on the outcomes of the model. A case study is used to illustrate the model, which is useful for enhancing the safety of subsea shell deployment operations.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
