Use of Risk Analysis at TOTAL

Previous HitAlainTop Leroy

Abstract

General risk analysis methology is described and explained. Then, a recent study performed by TOTAL-CFP is described: risk analysis of a special safety device, TOTAL-CFP patented, the fire-fighting water injection-spool. Some of the outcomes of this study are:

– a company reliability data bank is of prime importance for loss prevention,

– methods used in the nuclear industry must be adapted to the oil industry problems.

Our technological research in that field is then described. The establishment of our reliability data bank consists of:

– a pragmatic step:

     – establishment of a "Preliminary reliability data book" from those currently used,

     – collection of reliability data on equipment used on drilling and work-over rig,

     – study of the human factor.

– and of a conventional step: gathering of reliability data and maintenance data in TOTAL subsidiaries.

On the other hand, best available methods to analyse oil industry problems are to be found through case studies:

– analysis of the "blow out during a work-over" risk,

– reliability study of dynamic positioning system.

Explanations of these efforts are given.
