Fire and explosion risk assessment : carrying out a FERA study within EXPRO’s XPII EPF

Abstract

This engineering thesis presents a fire and explosion risk assessment conducted in EXPRO's early production facility (EPF XPII). It aims to understand the facility's current condition, focusing on major accidents like fires and explosions. The methodology of FERA includes hazard identification, fire zone analysis, consequences and frequency analysis, risk evaluation, and recommendations. Asset protection is emphasized based on the site's nature and limited workforce. Conducting this assessment during the facility's conception phase is crucial for obtaining operational approval from the Hydrocarbons Regulatory Authority (HRA).
