Use of QRA for decision support in the design of an offshore oil production installation.
QRA is today widely used as a tool for decision support in the offshore industry. Its use has gradually changed from a prescribed analysis for verification purposes to a tool being actively used in an integrated mode. The paper describes its use in the design of a modern offshore platform. The paper addresses work methodology, selection of tools and data, organisation of QRA with other activities. Specific examples are given.
