High cost of poor hydrocarbon process safety

摘要

The combined financial loss from the 100 largest accidents in the hydrocarbon industry between 1974 and 2013 has been estimated at over US$34 billion by insurance provider Marsh, whose energy loss database holds almost 10 000 records of losses spanning a period of more than 40 years. The data was published by Marsh in the 23rd edition of The 100 largest losses 1974-2013: large property damage losses in the hydrocarbon industry.
