    • A case of dynamic risk management in the subarctic region 

      Paltrinieri, Nicola; Grøtan, Tor Olav; Bucelli, Marta; Landucci, Gabriele (Chapter, 2017)
      A newly installed Floating Production Storage and Off-loading unit (FPSO) recently started its production from the first oil field in the Barents Sea. This is a climatically sensitive area with increasing mari-time activity ...

    • Accident Frequency Evaluation to Support Dynamic RiskStudies 

      Landucci, Gabriele; Paltrinieri, Nicola (Journal article, 2016)
      The safety enhancement of Oil&Gas offshore operations asks for improvements in the currently applied tools for risk estimation and evaluation. The present contribution is addressed at the development of a method for the ...

    • An Approach to Update the Failure Rates of Safety Barriers Based on Operating Experience 

      Lee, Shenae; Khakzad, Nima; Schmitz, Peter; Reniers, Genserik; Håbrekke, Solfrid; Paltrinieri, Nicola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Hazardous events in process plants like the leakage of dangerous substances can result in severe damage, and such an event is often defined as the TOP event of a fault tree analysis (FTA) in a quantitative risk analysis. ...

    • Comment on “How green is blue hydrogen?" 

      Romano, Matteo C.; Antonini, Cristina; Bardow, André; Bertsch, Valentin; Brandon, N.P.; Brouwer, Jack; Campanari, Stefano; Crema, Luigi; Dodds, Paul E.; Gardarsdottir, Stefania Osk; Gazzani, Matteo; Kramer, Gert Jan; Lund, Peter D.; Mac Dowell, Niall; Martelli, Emanuele; Mastropasqua, Luca; McKenna, Russell; Monteiro, Juliana Garcia Moretz-Sohn; Paltrinieri, Nicola; Pollet, Bruno; Reed, Jeffrey G.; Schmidt, Thomas Justus; Vente, Jaap; Wiley, Dianne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      This paper is written in response to the paper “How green is blue hydrogen?” by R. W. Howarth and M. Z. Jacobson. It aims at highlighting and discussing the method and assumptions of that paper, and thereby providing a ...

    • Digital Twin Concept for Risk Analysis of Oil Storage Tanks in Operations: a Systems Engineering Approach 

      Lee, Shenae; Haskins, Cecilia; Paltrinieri, Nicola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      This paper presents an approach to develop a risk monitoring tool for oil storage facilities. The suggested approach is derived from the existing dynamic risk analysis (DRA) methods and the digital twin concepts. One of ...

    • Experimental Investigation into the Consequences of Release of Liquified Hydrogen onto and under Water 

      van Wingerden, Kees; Kluge, Martin; Habib, Abdel Karim; Skarsvåg, Hans Langva; Ustolin, Federico; Paltrinieri, Nicola; Odsæter, Lars Hov (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Large-scale experiments have been performed to investigate the possible consequences of realistic amounts of liquified hydrogen (LH2) encountering water. The experiments aimed at simulating an accidental release of LH2 ...

    • Liquid Hydrogen Spills on Water—Risk and Consequences of Rapid Phase Transition 

      Odsæter, Lars Hov; Skarsvåg, Hans Langva; Aursand, Eskil; Ustolin, Federico; Reigstad, Gunhild Allard; Paltrinieri, Nicola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Liquid hydrogen (LH2 ) spills share many of the characteristics of liquefied natural gas (LNG) spills. LNG spills on water sometimes result in localized vapor explosions known as rapid phase transitions (RPTs), and are a ...

    • A Risk Aspect of Periodic Testing on Pressure Relief Valves 

      Lee, Shenae; Barros, Anne; Lundteigen, Mary Ann; Paltrinieri, Nicola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      A pressure relief valve (PSV) is a key safety barrier to prevent the catastrophic rupture of pressure equipment in a process plant. The safety function of a PSV is to open and relieve the pressure when the equipment pressure ...

    • Risk-based inspection planning for hydrogen technologies: review of currents standards and suggestions for modification 

      Ustolin, Federico; Wan, Di; Alvaro, Antonio; Paltrinieri, Nicola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The research addressing loss of integrity (LOI) for hydrogen containment technologies requires a multidisciplinary perspective. However, lack of collaboration between materials and process safety engineers is reflected in ...
