Planning Methods

This paper is the first part of a report dealing with industrial implementation of Risk Based Inspection planning methods to offshore facilities. The first part deals with FPSO/FSO while the second deals with fixed steel offshore structures. The objective of the report is to convey “lessons learned” from experience using RBI methods. Theses methods aim at establishing inspection planning based on optimization procedures derived from specific risk assessments. Experience of the three authors is based on the last methodological developments in the area of RBI planning for structural components subject to fatigue degradation and on application of these methods to various types of offshore facilities. The main steps of the RBI methodology are summarized in the first paper. General conclusions related to the two types of facilities are given at the end of the second paper.

Modelling Approach

Quantitative rockfall hazard and specific risk assessment of the selected municipalities within the České Švýcarsko National Park was performed using two rockfall hazard analysis modelling codes. CONEFALL and RockFall Analyst codes were used to delimit rockfall hazard regions. Specific risk to buildings was consequently assessed using results from the hazard analysis and literature-derived vulnerability values. Results of hazard and risk assessments for two nearby municipalities were compared and evaluated. Both models provide similar rockfall hazard values in areas characterized with relatively steep (36°–50°), convex and short slopes (up to 200 m). Whereas in regions with less steep (20°–35°), concave and longer slopes (about 350 m) the predicted rockfall hazard differs considerably. We argue that the results of the RockFall Analyst are more reliable due to complex input data and modelling approach which closely resembles the natural process of falling rocks on forested slopes. Differences in hazard assessment are further reflected in assigning risk values to exposed buildings, where CONEFALL is more conservative.

Control Risk

This paper reports on a study that examines the effect of pervasive and specific risk factors on auditors' inherent risk and control risk assessments in an experimental setting. Two hypotheses concerning the significance of inherent and control risk factors on auditors' inherent risk (IR) and control risk (CR) assessments were tested by having 124 senior auditors and managers provide risk assessments on eight cases. The results show that the pervasive and specific risk factors included in the experiment were significant to both the auditors' IR and CR assessments. For the case used in this study, there was a significant positive association between auditors' IR and CR assessments. Taken together, these findings are consistent with Waller's (1993) notion of a knowledge-based dependency between IR and CR assessments. The findings are not consistent with Kinney's (1989) reformulation of the (IR×CR) component of the audit risk model.

Alternative Approaches

This paper approaches ecological data analysis from a different vantage point and has implications for ecological risk assessment. Despite all the advances in theoretical ecology over the past four decades and the huge amounts of data that have been collected in various marine monitoring programs, we still do not know enough about how marine ecosystems function to be able to make valid predictions of impacts before they occur, accurately assess ecosystem ``health,'' or perform valid risk assessments. Comparisons are made among the fields of psychology, social science, and ecology in terms of the applications of decision theory or approach to problem diagnosis. In all of these disciplines, researchers are dealing with phenomena whose mechanisms are poorly understood. One of the biggest impediments to the interpretation of ecological data and the advancement of our understanding about ecosystem function is the desire of marine scientists and policy regulators to cling to the ritual of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) with mechanical dichotomous decisions around a sacred 0.05 criterion. The paper is divided into three main sections: first, a brief overview of common misunderstandings about NHST; second, why diagnosis of ecosystem health is and will be such a difficult task; and finally, some suggestions about alternative approaches for ecologists to improve our "diagnostic accuracy'' by taking heed of lessons learned in the fields of clinical psychology and medical epidemiology.

ABSTRACT On behalf of the operators on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, the Norwegian Clean Seas Association for Operating Companies (NOFO) has the responsibility for providing a documented and verified level of oil spill response, fulfilling the requirements set by the regulatory authorities for each individual production and exploration activity. To meet this responsibility and document the established oil spill preparedness, a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary project has been undertaken, integrating results and lessons learned from oil on water exercises and test facilities in the period 1985 to 2018. The structured results feed into standardized algorithms for system capability and operational windows, applicable across all combat methods in the NOFO toolbox. Through gap and sensitivity assessments, topics for R & D area prioritisation are identified. Data and information are structured in order to fit into the assessment methodology for Environmental Risk Assessments (ERA) and Spill Impact Mitigation Assessments (SIMA), and a step by step methodology for oil spill response assessments (OSRA) was developed as part of the project, facilitating standardised and comparable oil spill response plans. In addition to this standardisation and documentation process, templates for presentation of key data for oil spill response planning purposes are developed, and disseminated to a dedicated web site, as well as the NOFO Common Operating Picture GIS. In this way, a cohesive set of data and standards are available for use in assessments, planning, authority assessment and in incidents.
