Oil and gas are dominant sources of energy; 20 % of the oil and gas is produced in the ocean environment
- affects ”world” economy
Introduction
Regulatory requirements: - National Regulatory bodies;
(MMS, HSE, PSA (NPD)- Industry : API, NORSOK,…- Class societies/IACS- IMO/ISO/(CEN)
Safety- oil and gas represents energy withlarge potential accidentconsequences
- operating in a demanding environment- loss of reputation could also be anexpensive consequence of accidents

Failure or accident due to ”natural hazards”
Severe damage caused by hurricane Lilli in the Gulf ofMexico
Technical-physical causes:Wave forces exceeded the structuralresistance
Human – organizational factors:State of engineering practice (codes)
Errors and omissions during the design(fabrication) phases
- relating to assessment of- wave conditions or load calculation- strength formulation- safety factors
Should the platforms have been stengthenedif improved state of the art knowledge becameavailable later ?

Causes of structural failures and risk reduction measures
None- Research & DevelopmentUnknown phenomena
Quantitative riskanalysis
- Improve skills, competence, self-checking (for life cycle phase: d, f, o)
- QA/QC of engineering process (for d)- Direct ALS design – with adequate
damage condition (for f, o)- Inspection/repair of the structure
(for f, o)
Gross error or omissionduring life cycle phase:- design (d)- fabrication (f)- operation (o)
Structural reliabilityanalysis
- Increase safety factors or marginsin ULS, FLS;
- Improve inspection of the structure (FLS)
Less than adequate safety margin to cover “normal”inherent uncertainties.

Safety management – the ALS check
• Alternative principles for design against accidental actions:- design the structure locally to resist the action- accept local damage and design the structure against progressive collapse (in the manner which is relevant in connection with abnormal strength)
• Structures should be designed to ensure that small damages do not develop into disproportionately large consequences–loss of overall structural integrity–loss of buoyancy/stability

Accidental Collapse Limit State relating to structural strength (NPD,1984, later NORSOK)
• Estimate the damage due to accidental event (damage, D or action, A) at an annual probability of 10-4
- apply risk analysis to establish design accidental loads
• Survival check of the damaged structure as a whole, considering P, F and environmental actions ( E ) at a probability of 10-2
Target annual probability of total loss: 10-5 for each type of hazard

Estimating the Accidental Event
Theory based on: - accidental events originate from a small fault and develop in a sequence of
increasingly more serious events, culminating in the final event, - it is often reasonably well known how a system will respond to a certain event.
Damage or accidental load with annual probability of occurrence: P = 10-4
Need homogeneous empirical data of the order 2/p = 20 000 yearsto estimate events by empirical approach Accumulated platform years world wide:- fixed platforms: ~ 180 000- mobile units: ~ 20 000- FPSO: ~ 2 000
Account of all measures to reduce the probability and consequences of the hazards

Risk indicators for large scale accidents- monitoring of incidents (near-misses)
• Blow-out related incidents- uncotrolled hydrocarbon leaks- lack of well control
• Structure related incidents- structural damage, leak, collisions, loss of mooring line..)
- ships on collision path, etc.
• Nonfunctioning barriers againstlarge scale accidents- e.g lack of detection, deluge

Abnormal strength (damage)
- generic values for specific types of structures based on consideration of the vulnerability of the structural components.
Examples: 1) slender braces in mobile drilling platforms
(semi-submersibles) due to their vulnerability to ship impacts and fatigue.
2) Catenary mooring line3) Tether in tension-leg platforms
Abnormal degradation due to fatigue or corrosion

Procedure for determining the characteristic accidental action (overpressure) on different components (j) of a given platform, can be determined as:
- Establish exceedance diagram for the load on each component- Allocate a portion (pi) of 10-4 probability to each area, and determine
the Qc for each component corresponding to the probability, pi - Determine the characteristic load for each component from the
relevant load exceedance diagram and reference probability.
-The characteristic value for each type of accidental action refers to a probability of exceedance of 10-4 .for the platform as a whole.
- In view of additive character of the PFSYS(i)
- the exceedance probability level relevant for each location (k) is taken to be a portion of 10-4 for each location.
Characteristic value of the accidental action at each relevant location

- A goal-based approach is needed/practiced for new design concepts - (new function, layout,…)
• deepwater production platforms (spar, TLP, semi, FPSO)
- Future challenges relating e.g. to arctic oil and gas operations require a Goal-based Approach
- Design accidental actions tend to be more prescriptive when:
• experiences are accumulated• after accidents
From Prescriptive to Goal-basedto Prescriptive Approach

CONCLUSIONS
The main cause of accidents of offshore structures is human and organizational errors and omissions – resulting in- abnormal strength- accidental actions
Besides introducing measures to limit occurrence of errors by QA/QC etc, a direct quantitative design for robustness has been introduced in NPD/NORSOK offshore codes
The Accidental Collapse Limit state Design check introducedin NORSOK is a two–step procedure
estimate damage due to accidental actions with annual prob. of 10-4
check survival of damaged structure subjected to relevant functional and environmental actions
- the necessary methods for structural analysis to determine loacal damage and system survival, have been developed
