... Abstract This paper presents a Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) analysis of a pressure vessel (distillation column type) with a "Fitness-for-Service" (FFS) assessment of the equipment according to API-579 level 3. The evaluation of the resistance and stability of equipment corroded by Corrosion...

... in the country and ongoing developments. Additionally, several previous works on projects worldwide were reviewed to formulate criteria for assessing the prospectivity of CO2 storage areas, which can be applied at scale. By combining Brazil's current status and CCS methodological references, we integrated...

... In-service fracture assessments are used to assess flaw stability due to applied tensile loading in the form of positive peak tensile stress or strain during pipeline operation [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. The strain and stress in the fatigue sensitive areas are normally relatively high, so it is sometimes...

... Abstract In the context of offshore structures acting on production and storage of flammable liquids and gas, Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is an important asset to ensure the safe operation. This analysis allows the identification of possible hydrocarbon accidental release scenarios...

The role of age is described in four stages: early life, operational life, late life, and end life. Risk Priority...

... works techniques, such as welding or grinding, involves many critical safety assessments and/or production shutdowns. Thus, the challenge would be to carry out these repairs offshore while guaranteeing high safety standards and avoiding production shutdowns. FPSO operators, like SBM Offshore, have...
