1 OESI Advisory Committee Meeting Cumulative Risk Assessment Model to Analyze Increased Risk due to Impaired Barriers in Offshore Drilling Rigs Syeda Zohra Halim
2 A Holistic Look into Risk 2
3 Deviations can interact and sum up Unacceptable Risk Deviations plus a dominating unacceptable risk Deviations leading to unacceptable risk Normal situation where cumulative risk from deviations is understood and reduced Figure: Cumulative risk and tolerability [1] 3
4 Past Incidents [3,4 ] Macondo Disaster April, killed 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled Fine: $18.7 billion + others U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, Investigation Report: Refinery Explosion and Fire, 2007 Texas City Refinery Explosion March, killed, 180+ injured Fine: $87 million 4
5 Cumulative Risk Assessment: The Challenge Integration of human and organizational factors with technical and operational factors Complexity and size of system Dependencies of components and events Temporal aspects (Dynamic) Uncertainties of parameter estimation 5
6 Objective Develop a framework for merging all factors together and build a model based on this framework that will enable determination of cumulative risk Identify causes behind offshore incidents and understand the effect of impaired barriers Conduct literature review for developing required framework Find applicable tool for developing a model that can handle required criteria 6

8 Previous Work (2) APPROACH ALL FACTORS QUANTI- TATIVE DEPEN- DENCY DYNAMIC OTHERS Swiss Cheese Model: James Reason MORT: Johnson STAMP/ STPA: Nancy Leveson FT becomes too large No software to identify all the loops, depends on expertise and control structure diagram FRAM: Erik Hollnagel Requires iteration, difficult and time consuming BORA, Risk-OMT: Aven et. al. Scoring depends on RIFs and hence on the expert team 8
9 Objective Develop a framework for merging all factors together and build a model based on this framework that will enable determination of cumulative risk Identify causes behind offshore incidents and understand the effect of impaired barriers Conduct literature review for developing required framework Find applicable tool for developing a model that can handle required criteria 9
10 Available Tools Event-Cause Trees (Includes Fault Tree, Event Tree, Bow-Tie) Markov Chains Bayesian Network Petri Nets 10
11 Bayesian Networks It is a directed graph consisting of a set of nodes and arcs. Handles dynamic systems, distributions and dependencies and allows probability updating Based on Bayes Theorem: P(p i e) = P(e p i )P(p i ) k å i=1 P(e p i )P(p i ) 11
12 Petri Net Basics Petri Nets is a directed bipartite graph where system is analyzed by movement of tokens from one place to another via firing of transitions. 12

18 Conclusion An integrated model may be required to analyze cumulative risk A framework is to be used to merge technical, operational, human and organizational factors together BN and PN achieve their common goal through different approaches. Selection should depend on intended application Further work on development of the model is underway 18
