ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. Section two of the book discusses the usefulness of risk analysis, taking the Deepwater Horizon accident and the Gullfaks C incident as examples. The main operational message is the Integrated Operations (IO)-based solutions may improve the usefulness of risk analysis by providing access to onshore expert centres and more up-to-date risk analyses. The book then presents a human–machine interaction assessment method for IO-based solutions to improve drilling and well operations. It documents the use of the Resilience Analysis Grid for Integrated Planning. The book also outlines the use of the Functional Resonance Analysis Method to analyse unwanted consequences related to modifications to oil and gas installations. It then discusses the IO Maintenance and modification Planner tool, designed to contribute to safer decision-making in collaborative environments. This tool facilitates hazard identification by means of visualization using shared collaboration surfaces.
