Introduction The Fahud Sohar 42” Second Loop Line project was developed to enhance gas transportation capacity to the rapidly growing Sohar industrial region. The project includes the construction of a new 42-inch pipeline loop along with associated block valve stations and tie-in facilities. This Fire & Gas Mapping study was conducted for a gas pipeline […]
Introduction Fire and Gas Mapping Study for an oil terminal and jetty is a critical safety assessment performed to ensure effective detection of fire and gas hazards. In hydrocarbon facilities handling flammable liquids and gases, early detection plays a vital role in preventing major accidents and minimizing risk to personnel and assets. This study focuses […]
Project Overview Get the Hazardous Area Classification wrong on an offshore platform and the consequences can be severe — equipment installed in areas classified as Zone 2 that should have been Zone 1; ignition sources present in locations where a flammable atmosphere can form; electrical systems that fail to meet the protection requirements of the […]
Introduction This case study presents a Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) carried out for a Solar Farm and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) supporting a large-scale green ammonia production facility. The objective of the study is to systematically identify potential hazards, evaluate credible accident scenarios, and quantify associated risks to ensure safe design and operation. The […]
Introduction Fire and Gas Mapping Study is a critical safety assessment used to evaluate detector coverage, identify fire and gas hazards, and optimize Fire & Gas (F&G) detection systems in process facilities. Early detection of hydrocarbon releases is essential to prevent escalation into major incidents. This study ensures that flame and gas detectors are strategically […]
Project Overview Every offshore platform, from the first day steel goes into the water until the last day of operation, shares its working environment with other vessels. Supply boats, standby vessels, tankers, workboats the marine traffic around an offshore installation is constant, varied, and largely operating under time pressure. Most of the time, the system […]
Project Overview Working in an environment where the sea freezes for four months a year adds a layer of complexity that most offshore safety studies never have to account for. That was the reality Elixir Engineering stepped into when Metrix LLC commissioned us to carry out an Emergency Systems Survivability Assessment (ESSA) for the Kalamkas-Sea […]
The Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) was carried out for the Drilling Platform and Living Quarters of the Kalamkas-Sea and Khazar Field Development Project during the FEED stage. The study focuses on identifying potential hazard scenarios, quantifying associated risks, and ensuring that all risks are reduced to ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) through appropriate mitigation […]
Project Overview Ensuring personnel safety in offshore oil and gas facilities is a critical engineering priority, extending beyond regulatory compliance into risk-based design philosophy. Elixir Engineering was engaged to perform a Smoke and Gas Ingress Assessment (SGIA) during the FEED phase of the Kalamkas-Sea and Khazar Offshore Field Development Project. The objective of this SGIA […]
Introduction A Dropped Object Study (DOS) was carried out during the FEED stage for the Drilling Platform (DP) and Living Quarters (LQ) of the Kalamkas Offshore Platform. The objective was to assess risks associated with lifting operations and material handling activities in an offshore environment. The study focused on identifying potential dropped object scenarios, estimating […]
