dc.description.abstract | Extension of the production facilities life, focus on increased oil recovered, development of satellite
reservoirs tied to the main facilities and innovation and advancement in the SAS technologies have
led to an increased demands on the modifications and updating existing SAS and replacement of
obsolete SAS technologies used on the production facilities.
The SAS has a significant role in the petroleum processes because the failures in SAS can pose
serious hazards for people and the environment. The SAS helps to detect conditions that signal
potentially hazardous disturbances, and assist the operators of the system in the control and
elimination of those disturbances. Use of SAS in the petroleum industry provides better protection
and control solutions, real time performance required to meet reliability demands, industrial
productivity and energy efficiency. At the same time SAS system has to be regularly updated and
modified to take into account various factors described earlier which might impact on the safety of
process. The challenges of SAS project implementation are investigated in the current master
thesis.
The main objective of this master thesis is to evaluate current SAS installations in the Norwegian
Continental Shelf and its compliance with an industrial standards and regulations. Furthermore the
thesis reviews development history of current SAS installations in NCS, evaluates possible future
industrial demands and its impact on the future SAS technology, compares three SAS vendors
which have current installation on the NCS and provides technical characteristics cross analysis of
these systems.
In the last part, the numbers of proposals have been made for future SAS developments and
innovations under industrial demands. Recommendations have been proposed for resolving of gaps
and challenges of current SAS installations in NCS. | nb_NO |
