By: Uṇṇikr̥ṣṇan, Ji, 1944- [author.]Material type: TextTextPublisher: Boca Raton : CRC Press, 2021Edition: First editionDescription: 1 online resourceContent type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 0367254409; 9780367254407; 1000174220; 9781000174229; 1000174239; 9781000174236; 9781000174212; 1000174212; 9780429287800; 0429287801Subject(s): Gas manufacture and works -- Risk assessment -- Mathematics | Petroleum refineries -- Risk assessment -- Mathematics | Gas manufacture and works -- Equipment and supplies -- Safety measures -- Mathematics | Petroleum refineries -- Equipment and supplies -- Safety measures -- Mathematics | Bayesian statistical decision theory | TECHNOLOGY / PetroleumDDC classification: 620.1/07 LOC classification: TP752Online resources: Taylor & Francis | OCLC metadata license agreement Summary: Oil and gas industries apply several techniques for assessing and mitigating the risks that are inherent in its operations. In this context, the application of Bayesian Networks (BNs) to risk assessment offers a different probabilistic version of causal reasoning. Introducing probabilistic nature of hazards, conditional probability and Bayesian thinking, it discusses how cause and effect of process hazards can be modelled using BNs and development of large BNs from basic building blocks. Focus is on development of BNs for typical equipment in industry including accident case studies and its usage along with other conventional risk assessment methods. Aimed at professionals in oil and gas industry, safety engineering, risk assessment, this book Brings together basics of Bayesian theory, Bayesian Networks and applications of the same to process safety hazards and risk assessment in the oil and gas industry Presents sequence of steps for setting up the model, populating the model with data and simulating the model for practical cases in a systematic manner Includes a comprehensive list on sources of failure data and tips on modelling and simulation of large and complex networks Presents modelling and simulation of loss of containment of actual equipment in oil and gas industry such as Separator, Storage tanks, Pipeline, Compressor and risk assessments Discusses case studies to demonstrate the practicability of use of Bayesian Network in routine risk assessments
