Identificação de indicadores globais para o monitoramento da segurança de processos de plataformas de produção de petróleo e gás natural: estudo de caso da indústria brasileira

Abstract

This study has verified process safety in the segment of offshore production platforms for oil and gas in order to propose a model of global indicators to identify weaknesses in risk management aiming to optimize regulatory resources in their role to overview of industry's operational safety. Its method, in the leading point of view, leads to know the real position of oil companies in fulfilling the regulatory requirements of implementing the SGSO, as were identified main key practices for the adoption of this system and therefore measured the effort in implementation as direct correlation to prevent major accidents. In other hand, the lagging focus was obtained by classifying incidents according to their relative importance /impact within pre-established cutting lines.The Global indicator of leading segment (IGPRV) and Global Indicator of lagging segment (IGRTV) are designed to simplify analysis by quantifying subjective and complex concepts for establishing goals and allow assessment of requirements of Industry s safety regulation, to allow identification and dissemination of best practices in risk management. This perception has as objective to raise a continued improvement and optimize regulatory resources to prevent major accidents. In the context of the proposed topic and within the data analyzed in this study it was found that the proposed global indicators allow the identification of relative weakness, allowing management act aiming improve allocation of resources to application regulatory efforts. They also allow the identification and dissemination of best practices in risk management when they are compared in different levels of management. The adequacy of the proposed indicators as instruments of information and evaluation came from numerous studies that incorporated different perceptions and different methods of analysis and safety monitoring, enabling monitoring the safety guideline processes. It could be seen that the use of identified global indicators can respond successfully to proposed needs in a regulatory framework
