Risk Management • Risk Management - Definition • The identification, analysis and economic control of those risks that can threaten the assets or earning capacity of the organisation. • Why manage risk? • Risks impact company goals and threaten future viability • “...only by effective evaluation and assessment of risk can we hope to understand and manage the current and future challenges facing our company” - CEO, Major Energy Company
Risk ManagementQuestions to be answered • Where do the risks come from? • How big are they? • What are the major contributors? • What are the risks sensitive to, and how can they be changed? • What level of risk does the company find intolerable, what is considered trivial? • What is it worth doing to reduce the risk ?

Alternatives for Risk • Accept • Knowingly: Identify, Evaluate and Accept • Unwittingly • Reduce • Requires prior identification • Avoid • Modification of system • Modification of lifestyle • Spread • Joint ownership • Multiple Facilities • Transfer • Insurance
Risk Identification and EvaluationA Risk Engineer’s Approach We will cover: • Risk Identification • Risk Evaluation • Underwriting Factors
Risk Identification • Types of Risk • Types of Loss • Causes of Loss • Examples
Types of Risk – Installation Different Installations have different risks • Onshore drilling • Marine drilling • Onshore production • Offshore production • Gas Processing • Refineries • Terminals • Petrochemicals • Chemicals
Hazards Fire Explosion VCE BLEVE Detonation Pollution Flood Earthquake Toxic Release Breakdown Insurance Cover Property Damage Business Interruption Machinery Breakdown Liability Loss Potential Types of Risk – Loss Potential
Principal Cause of Loss (Onshore) Percent of Losses Average Loss (US$ million)
“Many accidents happen as a result of a breakdown in management systems” Underlying Causes of Loss
How are Specific Risks Identified ? • Knowledge and experience of industry • Knowledge and experience of specific processes • Discussions with management and personnel • Tour of installations More detailed techniques are available as required e.g. What-If, HazOp, Quantitative Risk Assessment
How is Risk Evaluated ? Risk is a function of: • Frequency / Probability • Consequences / Severity
Risk Evaluation – Risk Matrices CONSEQUENCE - People / Reputation / Environment / Assets
Risk Evaluation – Property Damage • Usually referred to as Estimated Maximum Loss (or EML) • For refineries and petrochemical plants the EML scenario is usually a vapour cloud explosion • For other plants (or for some locations) it could be: • Jet fire • Tank fire • Vessel disintegration • Natural perils
Property Damage – VCE Evaluation • Critical factors that affect the magnitude of the VCE EML are • Structure congestion and confinement • Type of hydrocarbon • Volume of vapour cloud • Volume of structure • Asset value concentration • Secondary events • Results are dependent on quality of site data • Different companies use different methods e.g. TNT equivalent • It is not an exact science, there are many assumptions • However, SLAM method shows reasonable correlation with actual incidents
0 1000 m Congested Area
VCE Evaluation • Damage estimate should be adjusted to reflect • Inflation over insurance and reconstruction period • Fire fighting expenses • Debris removal • Investigations • Other miscellaneous costs • All depend on policy wording and basis of values
Risk Evaluation – Business Interruption • Usually based on Property Damage EML scenarios • Sometimes a BI EML scenario does not correspond to a PD EML scenario • Requires detailed understanding of unit interdependencies and economics • Consider Customer / Supplier Extensions
Risk Evaluation – Machinery Breakdown • Identify critical equipment for process including utilities (rotating e.g. compressors and static e.g. reactors) • Need to consider potential BI impact
Risk Evaluation – Liability • Difficult to quantify - only limited to the imagination • Requires knowledge of neighbouring businesses and residences • Depends on separation from neighbours • Depends on interaction with third parties, e.g. • Contractors • Customers / suppliers • Partner companies (joint ventures) • Hold harmless agreements
Frequency / Probability • How to identify the likelihood of an event occurring • Various methods • Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) • Benchmarking • Qualitative Risk Ranking is used by Marsh • Hardware features • Software (Management systems) • Emergency Control

Qualitative Risk Ranking • Achieved by: • Detailed survey of installation • Discussions with management and site personnel • Audit of procedures and compliance checks • Comparison with Marsh risk ranking based on world-wide experience • Key benefits: • Useful as broking tool • Appraises weaknesses and strengths on a world-wide scale • Gives independent viewpoint • Provides basis for risk reduction programme
Overall Risk Benchmarking Summary Risk Quality Well above average Hardware Better than average Software Better than average EmergencyResponse Overall - Better than average OverallScore Excellent Average Basic Good Poor
Risk Control and Improvement • All serious risks should be addressed, i.e. eliminated or controlled by management • Risk Engineering survey develops Risk Improvement Recommendations, which when implemented lead to improved quality and control of risk • This will provide: • Reduction in (un)insured losses • Improvement in corporate image • Favourable premium negotiation • Reduction in “total cost of risk”
Underwriting Factors • Hardware / Software / Emergency Control Rating • Improvement • Exposure • Estimated Maximum Loss • Property Damage / Machinery Breakdown / Business Interruption / Operators Extra Expense • Scope of cover • Loss history • Basis of sum insured • Indemnity, re-instatement, actual • Retention • Deductible, loss limit, waiting period
Risk Identification and Evaluation • Conclusions • Requires knowledge and understanding of operations • Achieved by site and management audit • Qualitative analysis of exposures and quantitative consequence assessments • More detailed alternatives available • Provides basis for risk control programme • Enables structuring and placing of risk financing strategy
