Quantitative Analysis of Blowout Risk in Production Platform: A Fuzzy Fault Tree Approach

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fault tree approach is a widely used for importance and risk assessment. This paper analyses the blowout risk in production platform by a fuzzy fault tree method. This method is appropriate for the situation that lack or incompleteness of data. The judgements from experts can be quantified by using this framework. Analysis process is introduced. It establishes a fault tree including a top event and 13 basic events. The top event is blowout. Through analysis, 15 minimum cut sets are obtained and the fuzzy failure probability and single definite probability values are calculated. Finally, the probability of blowout risk in production platform is 5.67×10-4.
