Description
The book makes the case for process safety and provides a brief overviews of the upstream industry and of CCPS Risk Based Process Safety. The majority of the book focuses on the concepts of implementing process safety in wells, onshore, offshore, and projects.
Topics include Overview of Upstream Operations; Overview of Risk Based Process Safety (RBPS); Application of RBPS in Drilling, Completions, Work-Overs & Interventions, Application of RBPS in Onshore Production, Application of RBPS in Offshore Production, Application of RBPS to Engineering Design, Installation, and Construction, Future Developments in the FieldAbout the Author
The Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) is the global leader in developing and disseminating information on process safety management and technology. An industry technology alliance of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the CCPS has published over 100 books and over 30 training modules.
The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a transnational technical and professional society serving members engaged in the exploration, development, production and mid-stream segments of the oil, gas, and related industries. It has a mission to collect, disseminate, and exchange technical knowledge concerning the exploration, development and production of oil and gas resources and related technologies for the public benefit.
Back Cover
DISCOVER THE KEY CONCEPTS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT PROCESS SAFETY IN WELLS, ONSHORE, OFFSHORE, AND PROJECTS Process Safety in Upstream Oil and Gas shows how process safety applies to the upstream industry. Incidents such as Piper Alpha and Deepwater Horizon illustrate its importance. Process Safety in Upstream Oil and Gas addresses the spectrum of upstream activities including well construction (drilling, completions, work-overs, and interventions), onshore and offshore production, and project phases (design, construction, installation etc.). You will learn how the 20 elements of CCPS Risk Based Process Safety (RBPS) can support process safety in the upstream. Experienced as well as early career readers will benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to the applicability of process safety to upstream oil and gas Upstream incident vignettes illustrating the application Practical discussion of CCPS Risk Based Process Safety concepts, and Thoughts on future technical advances & vision for upstream process safety Process Safety in Upstream Oil and Gas is perfect for process safety & HSE professionals, project engineers and managers, and upstream service & supply companies. It provides a one-stop resource for implementing safety processes in upstream oil & gas.
