CFD simulation of wind condition and thermal gradient around an offshore helideck
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-13)With the development of offshore deep water fields, helicopter transportation and consequently helicopter deck becomes a vital part of these fields that located far from onshore. To ensure helicopter safe operations, ... -
Comparison of safety factor approach and the risk-based approach
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Safety is at the Centre of most human endeavor. The safer a system, process, technology, or service is the easier and faster it gets embraced by the people. In order to ensure the safety of people, environment and the asset ... -
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the petroleum industry: ideas and practice with links to risk management.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)In recent years several authors have argued for the adoption of Corporate social responsibility (CSR) which highlight people, planet and profit. The theoretical rationale for the CSR is well established, large number of ... -
Creating an integrated digital platform for asset integrity tools
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-16)There is always a strong motivation in oil and gas industry same as the other complex industrial systems to keep the assets well maintained during the life span. The main reason behind that motivation is the desire to ... -
Identify and handle safety challenges during decommissioning of offshore installations
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)Most of the offshore oil and gas installations are going towards the cessation of their production life, which means that the decommissioning activity will be increasing in years to come. Decommissioning of the offshore ... -
Incorporating a human perspective into subsea well intervention (SWI) decision making and work performance at SWI vessels
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)The key to maintaining well integrity, minimizing production decline and improving recovery efficiency, is to provide well services to the subsea wells (Lonnes, Williams and Burleson, 2009). The Subsea Well Intervention ... -
Investigating the impact of human and organizational factors on complex industrial project
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-14)Most of the projects letdowns are encountered in production industries such as oil and gas Production industries are attributed to human factors; at the same time repercussions related to such incompetence consistently ... -
Method for assessing how deterioration of the safety system affect risk
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-14)In the Oil & Gas industry the fundamental element to control major accident hazard is the establishment of an efficient barrier management system. On the NCS the PSA has renewed the strong focus on the barrier and barrier ... -
