Analyzing Storage Tank Incidents Utilizing Fishbone Diagram And Fault Tree Methods

Authors : Slimani Sami . Zennir Youcef .

Abstract

Oil and gas are the most important energies in the word. To exploit them both, go through a set of steps such as exploration; drilling, extraction, refining and storage. In this last step (storage), there are several methods of storage using floating Roof Tanks, Fixed Roof Tanks, Fixed Roof Tanks with internal floating Roof, Sphere…. etc. In storage phase happen many accidents and incidents. This paper divided in two main parts, the first part reviews storage tank types, storage tanks accidents types and accident locations. And in the second parts we used Fish bone Diagram (Ishikawa Diagram) and Fault tree method to investigate the causes of storage tanks accidents/incidents and their mitigation action. The statical analysis of the accident shows that 74%of accident happened between refinery facilities and the most common accidents are Fire and Explosion by 80%. While the most two major causes of accidents are Lightning by 33%, followed by human Error by 30%.
