Risk Assessment and Management for Ships and Offshore Structures helps engineers accurately analyze results and apply engineering principles to a vast range of oil and gas structures. Bridging theoretical-depth and practical application, this reference gives specific applications for risk assessment and integrity management for different ships and offshore structures, covering aspects of offshore production and drilling systems from the sea floor to the surface. Divided into different sections, and starting with a discussion of risk management background, the book then covers risk assessment for specific installations such as BOPs, marine production systems, subsea systems, deepwater production risers and pipelines. This book provides offshore petroleum engineers with both the theoretical principles and practical application skills needed to face today’s offshore challenges and structures.

• Delivers wide coverage on risk assessment and asset management for today’s oil and gas offshore structures


• Provides engineers with real statistical data collections and analysis from historical data to calculate failure frequency, a key task in risk management


• Bridges theoretical principles and practical applications, including upcoming challenges and technological advances
