Analysis of Corrosion Risks Safety Barriers Performance and Pipeline Safety Level Determination for Offshore Gas Pipeline Well A, PT. XYZ
Abstract
Various important aspects of the operational activities of the oil and gas industry must receive attention, in an effort to create a safe environment and operation for both workers and the surrounding community. This aspect relates not only to installations and workers, but the process of transport and distribution of oil and gas through pipes also. Failure on the offshore gas pipelines can cause some risks that can be harmful
to humans and the environment around the pipeline in case of leakage or even an explosion. The failure may be due to several factors, including leakage of the lining of pipelines due corrosion risks. Various studies and case reports indicate the level of accidents or fires and leaking offshore gas pipeline is still going on. An analysis
of safety barriers corrosion risks offshore gas pipeline was conducted to determine the performance levels of pipeline safety barriers with a case study on an offshore gas pipeline wells A, PT. XYZ. In doing analysis, three parameters were used, namely functionality, reliability and robustness. This research was conducted with descriptive analytic design using secondary data that has available in the company. This study illustrates the performance of the pipeline safety barriers, refers to the pipeline level of risk, and ultimately a pipeline safety level will be obtained as reference in the operation.
