Abstract The safety aspects of pipelines conveying hazardous materials are included neither under the umbrella of Seveso Directives aiming at preventing major accidents at industrial facilities, nor in other EU legislations, such as the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). Starting from evidence that in the last decades the international natural gas market has been growing at a very high rate and continues to exhibit an increasing trend, in this paper we focus on consequences deriving from accidents on high pressure buried Natural Gas Pipelines (NGP) and related probabilities of the various outcomes. A survey on historical accidents occurred on NG pipelines in the USA, Canada and EU allowed the attainment of significant statistics concerning the main factors responsible for the accident evolution, namely failure mode, immediate and root cause, evolving scenario, degree of confinement produced by the surroundings and ignition timing. In this paper, we focus on a refined Event Tree framework, to overcome the limitations of the amply applied over-conservative IP UKOOA approach. In order to evidence the capability of the approach, the use of refined PET is exemplified by means of a real case-study of a high pressure buried NG pipeline, contrasting the actual results with those obtained by conventional methods, in terms of evolving scenario probability and damage. Conclusions are drawn about the effective application of the framework within risk assessment and the uncertainties and sensitivities in the pipeline accident modelling.

天然气管道风险评估的关键方面。埋地布局的案例研究应用

摘要 输送危险材料的管道的安全问题既未包含在旨在防止工业设施发生重大事故的 Seveso 指令的保护范围内,也未包含在其他欧盟立法(如压力设备指令 (PED))中。从过去几十年国际天然气市场一直以非常高的速度增长并继续呈现增长趋势的证据出发,在本文中,我们重点关注高压埋地天然气管道 (NGP) 和事故造成的后果。各种结果的相关概率。通过对美国、加拿大和欧盟天然气管道历史事故的调查,获得了有关导致事故演变的主要因素的重要统计数据,即失效模式、直接原因和根本原因,不断变化的场景、周围环境和点火时间产生的限制程度。在本文中,我们专注于改进的事件树框架,以克服广泛应用的过度保守的 IP UKOOA 方法的局限性。为了证明该方法的能力,通过对高压埋地 NG 管道的真实案例研究,将实际结果与常规方法获得的结果进行对比,在演化情景概率方面对精制 PET 的使用进行了举例说明和损坏。得出了关于该框架在风险评估中的有效应用以及管道事故建模中的不确定性和敏感性的结论。克服广泛应用的过度保守的 IP UKOOA 方法的局限性。为了证明该方法的能力,通过对高压埋地 NG 管道的真实案例研究,将实际结果与常规方法获得的结果进行对比,在演化情景概率方面对精制 PET 的使用进行了举例说明和损坏。得出了关于该框架在风险评估中的有效应用以及管道事故建模中的不确定性和敏感性的结论。克服广泛应用的过度保守的 IP UKOOA 方法的局限性。为了证明该方法的能力,通过对高压埋地 NG 管道的真实案例研究,将实际结果与常规方法获得的结果进行对比,在演化情景概率方面对精制 PET 的使用进行了举例说明和损坏。得出了关于该框架在风险评估中的有效应用以及管道事故建模中的不确定性和敏感性的结论。在不断变化的情景概率和损害方面。得出了关于该框架在风险评估中的有效应用以及管道事故建模中的不确定性和敏感性的结论。在不断变化的情景概率和损害方面。得出了关于该框架在风险评估中的有效应用以及管道事故建模中的不确定性和敏感性的结论。
