Development of a method for evaluation of measures used for winterization of offshore facilities and units
Abstract The environmental conditions in the Barents Sea include low temperatures, wind, snow and precipitation influencing safety, working environment, operations and equipment functionality. The conditions are not extreme compared to other Arctic areas, however they do necessitate protection and w...

Further work was recommended to evaluate the effect of measures when considering performance influencing factors. A new study was initiated by PSA to develop a method to evaluate the efficiency of measures and a means to document the results. The method considers how well a measure achieves a specific safety and winterization goal, effect of the measure on energy consumption, effect of the measure on investment cost and operating cost, and vulnerability of the measure, including operational and organizational factors. In order to refine and test the method, it was applied to case studies considering a year-round production facility, a light well intervention vessel and a drilling facility used in the winter season in the Barents Sea.
