RESEARCH PROGRESS ON RISK ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA OF LONG-DISTANCE OIL AND GAS TRANSPORTATION PIPELINE

Abstract

For acceptable risk and risk acceptance criteria, concepts and definition methods were proposed. Determination principles and application status including ALARP were investigated. Differences between long-distance oil/gas transportation pipeline and other industrial facilities in risk tendency, degree of risk control, environment pollution risk, and specific risk in pipeline shutdown were analyzed. Determination methods and standards of acceptable criteria of individual, social, property and environment risks were discussed. Individual and social risk standards of the pipeline were proposed according to China’s actualities.
