“…The NSR is strongly supported by international and national standards (NORSOKs) 4 , developed by the industry and clearly required by the regulator. This context has led the NCS to have some well-known prescriptive requirements, relating to minimum standards for projects and emergency response, such as fire protection and evacuation routes, which in principle always will be applicable, regardless of the results of a risk assessment (PSA, 2018d;Vinnem, 2014a).…”

“…It implies that companies as risk owners have the responsibility to formulate the risk acceptance criteria and make the comparison to risk analysis results, as well as the subsequent decisionmaking about the risk control measures (Engen and Lindøe, 2014). Besides, the PSA has also changed the concept of risk placing more emphasis on the uncertainty dimension, claiming that it would lead more clarity to the decisions about risk-reducing measures (Vinnem, 2014a).…”

The offshore oil and gas industry still shows difficulties to develop a further improvement in hydrocarbon leak (HCL) prevention. As an initiating event of major accident 1 scenario, an HCL shows potential failures that under slightly circumstances could lead to severe consequences. Once an HCL occurs, there are learning opportunities that can lead to overall safety improvement, but recurrence or similarities between different events challenge the confidence about the completeness of improvement mechanisms and their ability to develop learning. Created after major accidents and broadly used in main offshore provinces, the functional regulatory regime (FRR) assign to companies the risk ownership, a clear mandate to develop all necessary actions on risk control. The main challenges for FRRs make the goals clear among risk owners, to lead conditions to a proper selection of risk constraints, and to support risk control by sustaining a high-risk awareness among all stakeholders. However, an accident shows failures in risk control, despite laws, regulations or other tools designed to avoid it. This article compares the Brazilian and Norwegian oil and gas offshore functional safety regulatory approaches considering the circumstances from selected HCL case studies. Accidental causation models are also considered in the discussion to support the assessment of the case studies' background, the socio-technical interactions, and the regulatory strategies, identifying improvement opportunities for HCL prevention and recurrence avoidance.

“…Impact energies of vehicular collision with sensitive equipment of the SPS may lead to structural damage and, in worst case, to hydrocarbon release. Lack of consideration of novel marine systems during risk assessments has also been observed, which may increase uncertainties during operations (Vinnem, 2014). At present, requirements to avoid subsea collisions safely using systems to locate obstacles in the subsea environment, such as rocks, wrecks, pipelines, and offshore structures, are recommended (Germanischer Lloyd Aktiengesellschaft, 2009).…”

This article presents the process used to develop safety envelopes and subsea traffic rules for autonomous remotely operated vehicles (AROVs) used in subsea inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) operations. Preventing loss of subsea assets and the AROV is the overall goal of the proposed safety envelopes and subsea traffic rules. Currently, no such envelopes and rules exist. The safety envelope for the AROV is constructed using an Octree method. The proposed subsea traffic rules are derived by combining existing traffic regulations in marine and aviation industries. The proposed safety envelopes and traffic rules are tested using both a novel modular open robot simulation engine (MORSE) based underwater simulator and in the laboratory. The results from the laboratory tests show that the proposed safety envelopes and subsea traffic rules can be used during simulated or real IMR operations to recommend subsea traffic rules to the AROV and the human supervisor.

“…The results obtained by various studies show that companies which considered, specifically, innovation issue are able to significantly increase their contribution to market and their profit [29]. Engendering the competitive strategies with complicated dimensions and structure lead organizations to provide and use various resources for performing their activities [36][37][38][39]. It is even possible that these resources have been against the environment and nature of organization [40].…”

Abstract-The current paper is prepared based on a descriptive study and through it, the integrity between total quality management (TQM) and technology, research and development (TIM), along the prediction of organization's functions in quality and innovation field, are examined. This investigation shows the relationship between TQM and TIM with focusing on two important issues: first, the integrity between TQM and TIM is focused via studying the gap between these two important sections, which are separated in organizations and have different duty descriptions. Second, the impacts of integrity between TQM and TIM on function indices of quality and innovation, which are the first and most important resources in taking competitive advantages for organizations, are examined. The required information for this study is collected from 148 managers of productive companies with more than 500 personnel, in Kerman province, and the constitutive equations model technique is used to analyze the collected information. The results show that: TQM has strong predictive power for qualitative functions of organization but it has not any clear and significant relationship with innovation functions. TIM also has predictive power for qualitative functions of organization but its intensity is lower than TQM. However, TIM has a stronger relationship for predicting the innovation functions of organization than TQM. Finally, TQM and TIM have a correlation with each other. The most important result obtained from the current study is that technology, research and development management is a suitable resource for applying along with and in accordance with TQM which the result of this cooperation is improvement of qualitative functions, and with higher importance, is support of innovation functions in organizations.
