HAZOP Analysis in Terms of Safety Operations Processes for Oil Production Units: A Case Study

The Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) methodology is considered one of the most effective techniques for risk analysis, developed fundamentally to provide regular processes with reduced risks that aim to guarantee the safety of activities and the operability of the production units. The study aim...
