  1. Research Programme for Offshore Malcolm Birkinshaw June 2006

  2. Organisation For R & D Major Hazards Programme R & D Nuclear, Onshore, Offshore Major Hazards Research is Programme led (e.g. KP3) Technical Support is incident led Extramural and HSL Expert Sources HSL is R & D supplier of 1st Choice

  3. Strategic Considerations • HSC Science Strategy 2005 – 2008 hse.gov.uk/research/content/strategy0508.pdf • Major Hazards Strategic Programme 2005 – 2008 (internal document) • HID Strategy hse.gov.uk/hid/deliveryplan/ • Offshore Division Science and Technology Strategy Nov 2004 • Hse.gov.uk/offshore/scitechstrat/scitech.pdf

  4. Offshore S & T Strategy Themes • Ageing facilities • Change management • Floating systems/new development • Revitalising health and safety

  5. Extramural R & D • Current Portfolio: £1.8 m • Pre 02/03: 1 Project • 02/03 : 4 Projects • 03/04 : 3 Projects • 04/05 : 6 Projects • O5/06 : 4 Projects • 06/07 : 2 Projects

  6. Extramural Themes (1) • Metocean: ISO validation pilot, UK wave map, airgap • Structural Integrity: blast wall strength, corrosion inspection; fatigue HSS • Floaters: offloading; Roll JIP; flexible riser JIP • Shift workers circadian rhythms • Blowouts frequency data collection

  7. Extramural Themes (2) • Guidelines: avoidance of pipe vibration; elastomer seals in explosive environments; • Collaborative work with CAA for heliops • Review of practices in shipping industry for managing ships collision

  8. HSL Work for OSD • 04/05 £687k; 05/06 £555k • 105 projects (mainly small) • incident related testing and analysis (diving, wire ropes, gas dispersion) • aid to development of OSD F & B strategy • generic explosion modelling comparisons • weathered PFP testing • gas detector operability

  9. Waiting Extramural (1) • £460k estimate 10 Projects • Metocean • joint probability calculation of extreme water levels • Public domain hind cast data to assess joint probability of extreme water levels • Calculation of air gap for NS Fixed installations using ISO 19901-1

  10. Waiting Extramural (2) • Structural Integrity • Residual stress in welded joints • Framework for SI management of fixed jacket structures • Techniques and technologies underpinning management of ageing installations • SI monitoring: review and appraisal of current technologies

  11. Waiting Extramural - 3 • Performance based explosion resistant design • Safety on drill floor – driller’s supervision • FPSO failures database

  12. Future • Ageing Installations: technology underpinning extension; framework for management; monitoring review; foundation safety; explosion resistant design; safety on drill floor ( drilling supervision); carbon sequestration • More stakeholder collaboration • Tighter Funds For External Resources • Cross Sector Cutting Themes
