Reliability and safety
assessments
of subsea systems | - Make a description of the subsea system agreed upon
- Functional description
- Failure modes and failure classification
(A possible case study is blow out blowout preventer (BOP) due to the extensive amount of information available, or alternatively,
the autonomous high integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS) that is often installed in relation to subsea tie-ins) - Identify and discuss applicable reliability and safety challenges in relation to the operation of such systems
- Identify and describe relevant regulations and standards that apply for design and operation of this system
- Identify and discuss relevant measures in relation to safety and reliability assessments of the system
- Identify and compare methods used to assess reliability in literature for the system being considered
and/or of systems that share key properties of this system, and discuss the pros and cons
of the different approaches- (A selection on methods may be selected)
- Identify and discuss key parameters for reliability assessment, and the availability to data that may
support such assessments - Identify ideas for further work
The project tasks are carried out with basis in a thorough literature review that is documented in the report. | To be added. |
