Conducting Fire & Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA) Study for Oil & Gas Facilities

Learning Objectives

Velosi is conducting a free webinar on “Conducting Fire & Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA) Study for Oil & Gas Facilities” on Sunday, 12th October 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM GST (Dubai Time).

Fire and Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA) is a critical study within the oil and gas industry, ensuring that risks associated with fire, explosion, and toxic releases are systematically identified, quantified, and mitigated. A well-structured FERA not only enhances safety but also ensures regulatory compliance and optimized operations.

This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of FERA methodology, referencing ADNOC’s HSE Risk Management Standards (including HSE-RM-ST01, ST02, ST06, ST07, ST08, ST09, ST10, and ST14) along with globally recognized international guidelines such as API RP 2218, IOGP (434-06, 07 &15) Risk Assessment Data Directories (Ignition Probabilities, Consequence Modeling, Vulnerability of Plant/Structures), and PGS 2/PGS 3.

Through expert insights and case study examples, attendees will also explore how FERA integrates with the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) framework and Process Safety Management (PSM) requirements by implementing advanced modeling techniques like CFD-based dispersion and explosion analysis.

Register for our upcoming webinar to gain practical insights into conducting ADNOC-compliant FERA studies while aligning with global standards and methodologies.

Key Aspects

• Fundamentals and scope of Fire & Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA)
• Hazard identification and scenario development (HAZID, consequence modeling, event trees)
• Fire radiation and explosion overpressure modeling in line with ADNOC HSE-RM-ST14 (CFD Dispersion & Explosion Modeling)
• Fireproofing and passive protection strategies aligned with API RP 2218
• Escape, evacuation, and survivability studies referencing ADNOC HSE-RM-ST07 (EERA) and HSE-RM-ST08 (ESSA)
• Quantitative risk evaluation using ADNOC HSE-RM-ST10 (QRA) for individual and societal risk
• Integration of ADNOC HSE-RM-ST06 (COMAH) requirements into FERA for managing major accident hazards
• Environmental and safety considerations through ADNOC HSE-RM-ST02 (HSEIA)
• Application of IOGP Risk Assessment Data Directories (434 series – IOGP 06, 07 &15) for ignition probabilities, consequence modeling, and structural vulnerability
• Safety guidelines from PGS 2 and PGS 3 for fire and explosion risk management
• Applying ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) principles in decision-making
• Real-world case study examples from upstream and downstream oil & gas projects

Who Should Attend?

• HSE & Process Safety Professionals
• Risk Management and Reliability Engineers
