ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT:   This paper proposes to quantitatively analyze the oil spill risk of the offshore facilities in the Bohai area. In particular, the oil spill risk probability of different offshore facilities was calculated by using the Event Tree Analysis (ETA) method. This method was presented based on the comprehensive analysis of the distribution of offshore oil facilities in the Bohai area and the oil spill accidents. To calculate the spatially variant oil spill risk probability, the Bohai area was divided into different grids and the oil spill risk probability was calculated based on the geometrical information related to the grids. Finally, the distribution of oil spill risk in the Bohai area was obtained to provide theoretical support for the oil spill warning in the Bohai area’s offshore facilities.
