Abstract

Abstract Oil and Gas (O&G) is one of the largest industrial sectors around the world and threatens both humans and environment. Both the companies and regulatory authorities consistently commit resources to improve their integrity management programs (IMPs) and safety culture maturity (SCM). Internal and external audits, public surveys, and benchmarking techniques are being used for discretely assessing both the IMPs and SCM. A novel risk-based benchmarking framework establishes logical relationships between IMP components and their contributions toward SCM attributes using failure mode effects analysis (FMEA). The framework evaluates 88 small, medium, and large-sized O&G companies operating in British Columbia (Canada) using the data from compliance audits for the period between 2011 and 2016. The results revealed that effective communication, updated protocols, and strict follow ups by the regulator with the operating companies improve both the IMP and SCM. The framework identifies the underperforming components for effective improvements and is a paradigm shift from the conventional twofold auditing process to a more efficient and time-saving practice.

不列颠哥伦比亚省油气管道公司的标杆:使用基于风险的方法整合完整性管理计划和安全文化

摘要石油和天然气是世界上最大的工业部门之一，威胁着人类和环境。公司和监管机构都始终如一地投入资源，以改进其诚信管理计划（IMP）和安全文化成熟度（SCM）。内部和外部审计、公共调查和基准技术正在用于离散地评估IMP和SCM。一种新的基于风险的基准框架使用失效模式影响分析（FMEA）建立了IMP组件及其对SCM属性的贡献之间的逻辑关系。该框架使用2011年至2016年期间的合规审计数据，评估了在不列颠哥伦比亚省（加拿大）运营的88家中小型O＆G公司。结果表明，监管机构与运营公司的有效沟通、更新的协议以及严格的后续行动改善了IMP和SCM。该框架确定了表现不佳的有效改进组成部分，是从传统的双重审计过程向更高效、更省时的做法的范式转变。
