QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE  ANALYSIS

QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE 
ANALYSIS

During offshore operations, risk is characterized as a hazard’s probability or frequency, combined with the magnitude of its consequences. Managing risk during oil and gas operations and production is critical to ensure staff safety, avoid environmental disaster, and safeguard asset availability and business continuity. Qualitative and quantitative analyses enable asset owners and operators to develop the appropriate measures necessary to mitigate offshore-related risks.

Offshore units are constantly exposed to a variety of threats and hazards, including technical failure, erosion, rough seas, fire, explosion, oil spills, and cyberattacks. Preventing these threats from occurring—or reducing them to the lowest possible level – is the top priority. Asset owners must understand the risks they are facing and implement risk management procedures to meet regulatory and company compliance criteria.  

  • Our extensive expertise and experience working with all types of offshore assets offers to you the insight knowledge needed to develop cost-effective risk-reduction measures

  • Our dedicated global risk management team helps you  successfully evaluate calculated risks against relevant, industry-wide criteria

  • Our risk prevention methodology offers the tried-and-tested framework required to identify potential hazards and review offshore management processes
