Nevertheless, the possibility of accidental releases can never be discounted, and it is important that operators have an understanding of the causes and potential consequences of such releases in order to help manage the risks involved. The development of techniques to allow quantified risk assessments of natural gas pipelines and associated facilities to be undertaken has accelerated in recent years, supported by mathematical modelling and experimental validation. These techniques offer operators the opportunity to optimise safety by targeting areas where risk can be reduced most cost-effectively, and to optimise the use of assets by avoiding inappropriate restrictions on operations. Risk assessment techniques have been developed by Advantica for a broad range of gas industry applications, including offshore platforms, reception terminals, high and low pressure pipelines, compressors, gas storage and LNG sites. This paper describes the background to the development of these techniques, the framework that has been established in the UK for decision-making based partly on results of quantified risk analysis (QRA) and techniques developed and applied by Advantica for terminals, storage sites and pipelines.
