Risk Management: With Applications from the Offshore Petroleum Industry de Terje Aven

Risk Management: With Applications from the Offshore Petroleum Industry: Springer Series in Reliability Engineering

Autor Terje Aven, Jan-Erik Vinnem
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 oct 2010
Risk management is a decision-making process which considers various factors with risk assessments relating to a potential hazard, in order to develop regulatory response options. Technological developments, organisational changes and increased demand for efficiency have influenced the vulnerability of our society. Thus, safety and risk management is becoming an important field.
This book discusses some fundamental principles of risk management, related to the use of expected values, uncertainty handling and risk acceptance criteria. A decision framework for risk management is developed that provides a structure for the classification of risk decision problems and a procedure for the execution of the related decision-making processes. Examples from the offshore petroleum industry are included to illustrate the use of the framework.
This book is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in risk management, practitioners in the industry, engineering managers and regulatory authorities.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"This book is about making decisions in the face of risks and uncertainties and they outline the challenges that go with this process of decision making. … has come around successfully in presenting its theme, theories and applications of risk management, more so to an off-shore gas and oil industry and would like to recommend to all risk analysts and managers. … would also be found useful by the students and teachers at universities in pursuing or teaching a risk management course." (Krishna B. Misra, International Journal of Performability Engineering, Vol. 4 (3), 2008)
“‘Risk Management: with Applications from the offshore Petroleum Industry’ … is about how the offshore oil and gas sector should assess, manage and tackle risk of an offshore installation’s complete life cycle from predesign to final decommissioning and disposal in the world’s tempestuous seas. … For the industry’s practitioners, it provides a ready-made decision making framework in which to tackle decision making in high risk environments … . This book should prove essential reading for the industry’s decision makers … .” (Nicholas Newman, Oxford Prospect, September, 2010)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Risk management is a process to assist in the decision-making. The risk management process takes the potential hazards as a starting point, in order to identify suitable arrangements and measures for accident prevention and emergency response in case of an incident. Risk management is a useful approach to satisfy functional regulatory requirements to safety. Technological developments, organisational changes and increased demand for efficiency have influenced the vulnerability of our society. Thus, safety and risk management is becoming an important field.
Risk Management with Applications from the Offshore Petroleum Industry presents an in-depth discussion of some fundamental principles of risk management, related to the use of expected values, uncertainty handling and risk acceptance criteria. A decision framework for risk management is developed that provides a structure for the classification of risk decision problems and a procedure for the execution of the related decision-making processes. Several examples from the offshore petroleum industry are included to illustrate the use of the framework, but it can also be applied in other areas.
With the inclusion of a risk management framework designed to achieve better decisions and therefore more desirable outcomes, Risk Management with Applications from the Offshore Petroleum Industry is a valuable resource for practitioners in the industry, engineering managers and regulatory authorities. Graduate students and researchers in risk management will find this book a comprehensive reference.
Dr Terje Aven and Dr Jan Erik Vinnem are Professors of Risk Analysis and Management at the University of Stavanger, Norway.
Springer Series in Reliability Engineering publishes high-quality books in important areas of current theoretical research and development in reliability, and in areas that bridge the gap between theory and application in areas of interest to practitioners in industry, laboratories, business, and government.
