Simulation of Blowout Events: Integration of Different Modelling Approaches Within Industrial Risk Assessment and Management Tools

摘要

One of the most critical incidental events associated both to the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbon fields is the uncontrolled well blowout. In particular, during blowout of on-shore wells, the associated oil and gas dispersion in the atmosphere and land requires the quickly definition of a contingency plan aimed to reduce damages. To this aim, the Agip Division of Eni has undertaken a specific R&D project, with the technical and scientific support of EniTecnologie, TEA and TEMARS companies.
