The objective of this QRA/LDC study was to determine if current leak detection methodologies were sufficient, based on QRA results, while excluding the use of statistical leak detection; if not, an appropriate LDC for the leak detection system would need to be established. The famous UK PARLOC database was used for the calculation of pipeline failure rates, and the software POSVCM from MMS was used for oil spill simulations. QRA results revealed that the installation of a statistically based leak detection system (LDS) can significantly reduce time to leak detection, thereby mitigating the consequences of leakage. A sound LDC has been defined based on QRA study results and comments from various LDS vendors to assist the emergency response team (ERT) to quickly identify and locate leakage and employ the most effective measures to contain damage.展开更多

One its core strategies is international oil/gas cooperation. This paper addresses the status quo of cooperation on oil/gas infrastructure with countries along the line of "B&R', anticipahs the cooperatiorl prospect. On this basis, the author analyzes China's advantages and cooperation basis in this domain, conceives the practical way of cooperation on oil/gas infrastructure with countries along the line of "B&R'. This paper also elaborates on tlre potential risks, risk evaluation criteria and risk corr trol in oil/gas infrastructu re cooperation with countries tries along tire line of "B&R".展开更多

The ERT means the expected time that takes for an objective valiable to reach a target value. To deal with the environmental risk involved in the process, the expectation maximizing strategy may be the most well known. However, for many cases the dominance strategy rather than the expectation maximizing strategy is adopted and works very well. In this paper we first prove rigorously that minimization of the ERT is equivalent to the dominance criterion in the infinite period. Then we demonstrate by simulation that the ERT gives almost equal evaluation as the dominance criterion even for the finite multiplications, after showing that it is approximately proportional to the logarithm of the target value.展开更多
