INTRODUCTION
Bow-tie diagrams are widely used in Europe and Australia to support safety reports and health, safety, and environment (HSE) cases for drilling and greenfield major hazard facility onshore projects. Other applications have been reported for healthcare, nuclear, transport, and organizational culture. So the concept of cause-consequence analysis is a combination of the inductive and deductive reasoning of logic diagrams (e.g., event-tree analysis or fault-tree analysis). The method has been used to identify the basic causes and consequences of potential accidents. Likewise, bow-tie diagramming provides a pictorial representation of the risk assessment process that, during the last decade, has become increasingly popular, especially in the sector of oil and gas offshore exploration and production. Because of their unparalleled advantages demonstrating that major hazards are identified and controlled
In this course you will recognize about the Bowtie method of analysis which is a qualitative analysis incorporating management system techniques. Cause The bowtie has become popular as a structured method to assess risk where a quantitive approach is not possible or desirable. The success of the diagram is that it is simple and easy for the non- specialist to understand.
So we designed this course to demonstrate the risk-based approach in the Oil & Gas Industry Projects and will explore how the bow-tie model would fit in the risk management process for upstream, Midstream and downstream projects and facilities, and it shares a representative Bow-Tie case study application in making engineering controls operational.
