“…Therefore, they should be capable of absorbing various component failures [46]. Absorptive capacity includes a set of proactive actions (e.g., by safer design) that should be considered in the CIS's preparedness phase [136][137][138][139]. Robustness is commonly used to quantify the adsorptive CIS capacity [101].…”

“…Adaptive Capacity: The degree to which the CIS can arrange itself and use temporary and often non-standard actions to prevent CIS downtime during and after the disruption is called adaptive capacity. This capacity can prevent sudden collapses in the CIS's performance level [17,128,136,137,140]. However, as mentioned, these actions have a temporary nature, and for the CIS's performance recovery, permanent actions should be taken as soon as possible.…”

The Resilience of Critical Infrastructure Systems: A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2021

Risk management is a fundamental approach to improving critical infrastructure systems’ safety against disruptive events. This approach focuses on designing robust critical infrastructure systems (CISs) that could resist disruptive events by minimizing the possible events’ probability and consequences using preventive and protective programs. However, recent disasters like COVID-19 have shown that most CISs cannot stand against all potential disruptions. Recently there is a transition from robust design to resilience design of CISs, increasing the focus on preparedness, response, and recovery. Resilient CISs withstand most of the internal and external shocks, and if they fail, they can bounce back to the operational phase as soon as possible using minimum resources. Moreover, in resilient CISs, early warning enables managers to get timely information about the proximity and development of distributions. An understanding of the concept of resilience, its influential factors, and available evaluation and analyzing tools are required to have effective resilience management. Moreover, it is important to highlight the current gaps. Technological resilience is a new concept associated with some ambiguity around its definition, its terms, and its applications. Hence, using the concept of resilience without understanding these variations may lead to ineffective pre- and post-disruption planning. A well-established systematic literature review can provide a deep understanding regarding the concept of resilience, its limitation, and applications. The aim of this paper is to conduct a systematic literature review to study the current research around technological CISs’ resilience. In the review, 192 primary studies published between 2003 and 2020 are reviewed. Based on the results, the concept of resilience has gradually found its place among researchers since 2003, and the number of related studies has grown significantly. It emerges from the review that a CIS can be considered as resilient if it has (i) the ability to imagine what to expect, (ii) the ability to protect and resist a disruption, (iii) the ability to absorb the adverse effects of disruption, (iv) the ability to adapt to new conditions and changes caused by disruption, and (v) the ability to recover the CIS’s normal performance level after a disruption. It was shown that robustness is the most frequent resilience contributing factor among the reviewed primary studies. Resilience analysis approaches can be classified into four main groups: empirical, simulation, index-based, and qualitative approaches. Simulation approaches, as dominant models, mostly study real case studies, while empirical methods, specifically those that are deterministic, are built based on many assumptions that are difficult to justify in many cases.

“…Resilience engineering, as a result, is increasingly developed to complement the risk analysis in offshore petroleum industry. In the face of offshore disasters such as blowouts and explosions, resilience engineering ensures "the design of complex systems that can withstand adverse conditions and recover quickly from disruptions [4]." This represents a new way of thinking about HSE issues in offshore operations.…”

“…Compared to risk analysis, which begins with identification of hazards and characterization of probabilities, resilience analysis in offshore engineering may improve the system response to surprises [3]. Resilience approaches accordingly can supplement risk approaches in HSE management systems and contribute to prediction, adaptation and recovery to hazards or disruptive events in offshore operations [4]. In establishing risk regulation for offshore operations, resilience may also create flexible ways for China to resolve conflicts between risk regulation and CAC regulatory regime.…”

Reforming Health, Safety, and Environmental Regulation for Offshore Operations in China: Risk and Resilience Approaches?

Offshore drilling accidents have triggered regulatory reforms in China. The reforms aim to explore proper regulatory approaches to supervise offshore operations and improve their health, safety and environmental (HSE) performance. This study offers a review on the roles of risk and resilience in managing offshore operations and a well-defined analysis on their integrations with Chinese laws and regulations. The study finds risk and resilience approaches can promote the effectiveness of HSE regulation for offshore operations, while both are difficult to be transposed into legally binding rules in China. To fully develop and implement risk regulation for offshore operations, the study suggests to decentralize China’s command-and-control regulatory regime and encourage self-regulation in offshore petroleum companies. Transposing resilience thinking into legal practice is also highlighted so that various regulatory powers can keep proactive and flexible to any possible changes and uncertainties.

“…Oilfield gathering station (OGS) possessing large amounts of hydrocarbons with a high probability of accidental release. It poses risks to personnel, equipment facilities, and environment . If the leaked hydrocarbons are ignited, it may lead to a catastrophic event, thereby causing significant economic losses, environmental damage; and posing serious threat to the safety of the enterprise personnel.…”

Risk analysis and evaluation of oilfield gathering station (OGS) is a challenging task, given that much of the available data are highly uncertain and vague, and many of the mechanisms are complex and difficult to understand. A combinational method of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) is proposed in this study to assess hazards in OGS associated with multiple subsystems' failures. The evaluation index system of safety performance in OGS was established, which included tank unit index, pipe unit index, digital monitoring unit index, and other systems. The weight of each index was confirmed through AHP method. Then the AHP and FCE methods were combined to validate the risk levels of representative enterprise S (S-OGS). The evaluation results show that the evaluation grade of S-OGS was low risk. This study provides a basis to improve the risk levels of OGS. It is expected that this work may serve as an assistance tool for managers of enterprise in improving the risk levels of oilfield operations.
