Prospects of development of hydrocarbon resources of Russia’s continental shelf and their transportation to the end consumers determine the necessity of the establishment of marine energy industry, which includes offshore platforms for oil and gas. Construction and operation of offshore platforms is associated with a high risk both human and economic. According to the WOAD (World Offshore Accident Dataset) in 2013 was identified 265 incidents/accidents occurred on offshore platforms, or 4.11 % of the accidents recorded accidents on offshore structures in the world. Since the average cost of the platforms in the sea of 3-5 times more than on land, depending on the construction conditions, the occurrence of threat or emergency, could lead to such a significant increase in the cost of the project, which can be disastrous for the overall project.To assess the scope of loss of life from hazards fire and explosion hazard situations on offshore drilling platforms, you must use the Order №404 from 10.07.2009 “On approval of the method of determining the fire risk at industrial facilities”. However, the applicability of this document to assess fire risk offshore drilling platform is complicated by the fact that there are no reference data on the frequencies of occurrence of fire and explosion hazardous situations at the drilling offshore platforms, which makes it impossible for a fire risk assessment in General for this kind of objects. This work is devoted to determination of frequencies of occurrence of fire and explosion hazard situations on offshore drilling platforms. To achieve this purpose were used: method of expert evaluations of probabilities of events, the method of risk analysis, quantitative methods, based on available materials (including databases, DNV Technica) on equipment failures and accidents in the operation of offshore platforms in the North sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
