Gas Explosion and Other Hazards of LNG Facilities

This Gulf Rowad Gas Explosion Hazards of LNG Facilities training course will combine presentations with instructor-guided interactive discussions between participants relating to their individual interests. Practical exercises, video material and case studies aiming at stimulating these discussions and providing maximum benefit to the participants will support the formal presentation sessions. Above all, the course leader will make extensive use of case examples and case studies of issues in which he has been personally involved.

The aim of this Gulf Rowad training course is to provide the participants with the knowledge and skills to understand the various hazards of LNG Facilities and how to mitigate pro activate emergency response to incidents.

At the end of the Gulf Rowad training course, delegates should achieve the following key learning outcomes:

• Understand the basics and important parameters governing vapor cloud explosion (VCEs) and other known hazards
• Be aware of release and accidents statistics and have knowledge of some important offshore accidents that have occurred
• Understand the accident chain of events
• Understand various preventive measures to reduce the occurrence of accidents and various mitigation and control techniques to reduce gas explosion consequences
• Learn the various explosion modeling techniques that may be applied and understand the importance of using advanced 3D modeling for gas analysis
• Learn the different gas explosion analyses methods and when they may be applied
• Understand how gas explosion loads can be integrated with the responses of structures

This Gulf Rowad training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals involved in managing Hazards and Risk on LNG Facilities including:

• Safety engineers
• Managers and other personnel involved in the design, operation or modification of an offshore oil and gas facility (platforms, FPSO`s etc.)
• Accident investigators
• Representatives of governmental or public bodies involved in development of offshore safety regulations
• Anyone who would like to develop an understanding of hazards associated with LNG Facilities

Organisational Impact

In addition to the professional development of staff, the organization should be able to prioritize resources to demonstrate that process risks are adequately controlled.

• Detailed guidance on good / best practice techniques
• Opportunity to evaluate good / best practice techniques through workshops
• Understand the parameters governing LNG release and dispersion
• Be aware of LNG release and accident statistics
• Understand the parameters governing vapor cloud explosions (VCEs) and other hazards
• Understand the accident chain of events
