The security and economic stability of many nations and multinational oil companies are highly dependent on the safe and uninterrupted operation of their oil, gas and chemical facilities. One of the most critical impacts that can occur to these operations are fire and explosions from accidental or political incidents. The recent Gulf War amply demonstrates the impact these events can have on oil installations.
This publication is intended as a general engineering handbook and reference guideline for those personnel involved with fire and explosion protection aspects of these critical hydrocarbon facilities. Several other reference books are available that provide portions of the necessary information required to evaluate hazards, provide fire protection measures, or determine insurance needs. However most are not fklly complete in mentioning all technical subjects and some have become somewhat technically outdated. They usually tend to be a collection of technical papers or else provide a broad coverage of subjects without much practical applications or details. The main objective of this handbook is to provide some background understanding of fire and explosion problems at oil and gas facilities and a general source of referencematerial for engineers, designers and others facing fire protection issues, that can be practically applied. It should also server as a reminder for the identification of unexpected hazardsat a facility.
