Project Number | 607 |
Date of Summary | February 02, 2008 |
Subject |
Assessing Risk and Modeling a Sudden Gas Release Due to Gas Pipeline Ruptures |
Performing Activity | SL Ross Environmental Research Ltd. |
Principal Investigator | Randy Belore |
Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
Estimated Completion | February 2009 |
Description |
The objective
of this study is to develop a computer software solution to model the
behavior of wet or dry gas from a single-phase sub-sea pipeline release
(rupture) from sea-bed to harmless in-air concentration.
Work will focus on nine
tasks, including:
1. Identification of Typical Gas Pipeline Release
Scenarios;
2. Estimation of Gas Pipeline Accident Probabilities; 3. Modification of POSVCM for Gas Release from Sub-sea Pipeline; 4. 3D Gas Rise Modeling; 5. Graphical User Interface Modifications; 6. Interfacing Sub-sea Gas Release to OCD Model; 7. Testing and Validating Models; 8. Sensitivity Modeling and Potential Impact Zone Assessment; and 9. Report Preparation and Model Delivery. |
Progress | Held kick-off meeting in February 2008 between Vendor and MMS. |
