An Integrated Approach for Gas Dispersion, Gas Explosion and Structural Impact Analysis for an Offshore Production Platform on the Dutch Continental Shelf

摘要

The design of an offshore gas production platform has beenrnsubjected to an extensive quantitative risk analysis inrnparticular with regard to its resistance to gas explosions loads.rnIt was demonstrated that integration of the physical andrnstructural effects of a gas explosion in an early stage of therndesign results in a safe and economical design.
