Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) can support a wide array of activities supporting safety, asset investment, and integrity management goals within a risk-informed decision-making process. When QRAs are applied with appropriate risk acceptance criteria that are standardized and widely recognized by industry (i.e., such as those recently issued as guidance in CSA Z662:23 Annex B), this provides a pathway for demonstrating pipeline risk levels to stakeholders. To eliminate high-consequence incidents, Integrity Management teams can benefit from a meaningful basis (i.e., QRA measure) and target (i.e., risk acceptance criteria) for prioritizing effective preventive and mitigative programs.

However, some of the challenges around QRA include a range of expertise, modeling approaches, and risk measures that, when applied within a QRA framework, can result in different estimates of pipeline risks at varying levels of confidence. Uncertainty of risk modeling results can also be driven by limitations on data availability and quality. Some stakeholders may perceive that QRA enables “doing less” within Integrity Management programs, while in fact, QRA can drive the “right” preventive and mitigative work for confident decision-making.

Please join us on Wednesday, June 5th at 11:00 am CST to attend a live discussion exploring the trends and applications toward advancing robust pipeline QRA approaches across the industry. Our Technical Experts, Dan Wiliams, Principal Consultant, and Tyler Klashinsky, Manager, Engineering Assessments will also showcase a QRA application case example demonstrating how the enhanced use of QRA for informing Integrity Management programs can sometimes “do more” than a standard deterministic analysis would otherwise indicate.
