Firewater surge analysis in an oil and gas facility showing an engineer inspecting red firewater piping, deluge valves, pumps, pressure gauges and hydraulic transient pressure-wave data.

Fire Fighting Network Surge Analysis: What Practising Engineers Need to Know

Fire fighting network surge analysis exists for one reason: to find the pressure spike before it finds a weld seam. A deluge valve slams shut during a routine test on…

Instrumentation engineers verify a safety instrumented function by testing the field transmitter, shutdown valve and associated control circuit

SIS Proof Testing Intervals and Documentation: What IEC 61511 Actually Requires

A flare knockout drum high level trip on an offshore platform failed to activate during a real overfill event, six months after its last documented proof test showed a clean…

Engineers comparing P&ID and block flow diagrams during a HAZOP HAZID review session

HAZOP vs HAZID vs What-If Analysis: When to Use Each

A process engineer staring at a half-finished P&ID does not need a HAZOP. HAZOP needs finalized design data to mean anything, and using it too early wastes a facilitator's week…

Two engineers reviewing SIL determination worksheets and loop diagrams in a control room

LOPA vs Risk Graph vs Risk Matrix for SIL Determination

A facility with 70 identified Safety Instrumented Functions and three different engineers running the SIL study rarely ends up with three consistent answers. One engineer defaults to a risk matrix…

HSE engineer reviewing noise compliance checklist on offshore oil and gas platform control room

Noise Compliance Checklist for Offshore and Onshore Process Facilities 

A facility clears every design review gate. The process safety documentation is complete. The equipment is installed, the plant is commissioned, and the handover team is on site. Then the independent verification…

Engineer comparing manual noise calculation spreadsheets with SoundPLAN 3D acoustic modelling software on dual monitors

SoundPLAN vs. Manual Calculations: How 3D Modeling Improves Noise Study Accuracy 

Here's a scenario that comes up more often than the industry likes to admit. An acoustic engineer submits a manual noise study at FEED. It passes internal review. The calculations are tidy, the ISO 9613-2 methodology is…

Offshore oil and gas platform with engineer reviewing noise allocation report on tablet

What Is a Noise Allocation Report and Why Does It Matter in Oil & Gas? 

Every offshore platform has a story like this. A topsides layout gets signed off at FEED. Then someone raises a flag: the compressor deck exceeds 95 dB(A) at the nearest occupied area,…
