Hazards - Offshore

• Fire and Explosion

• Blowout

• Ship Collision

• Sinking

• Anchor Drag – Pipelines

• Dropped Objects

• Machinery Breakdown

• Natural Hazards

Hazards - Onshore

• Fire and Explosion

• Machinery Breakdown

• Natural Hazards – Earthquake/Windstorm/Flood

• 3rd Parties

• Overland Pipeline loss – landslides/river crossings

• Ship Collision at Marine Terminal

Loss Exposures – Property Damage (PD)

• Fire and Explosion – loss of a platform/Gas separation Plant (GSP)/Terminal

• Machinery Breakdown – Compressors/On site Gas Turbine Generators (GTGs)

• Natural Hazards – loss/damage to offshore/onshore plant and equipment/power lines

• Overland Pipeline loss – landslides/river crossings

• Ship Collision – Platform/Marine Terminal

Loss Exposures - BI

• Loss of a platform/GSP/terminal – 2 year rebuild period

• Machinery Breakdown – Compressors/Turbo generators in Power Plant – 12 to 18

months

• Natural Hazards – loss/damage to offshore/onshore plant and equipment/power lines

– up to 2 years depending on level of damage

Loss Estimates - Onshore

• Vapour Cloud Explosion GSP1

– PD = US$280 million

– BI = US$90 million (18 months) shutdown Caribbean Gas Network, 60% of BI sum

insured

– Combined PD/BI – US$370 million

• Loss of GSP 2 will shut down supply to Sale Plant – possible penalties for failure to supply

• Fire and loss of Distribution Area Control Room (6 - 12 months downtime)

• Machinery Breakdown – Onshore Compressors/GTGs - 12 to 18 months – Extra Cost import of

Power

• Fire at the Marine Terminal/Ship Collision at Jetty – 6 months rebuild

• Natural Hazards – loss/damage to onshore plant and equipment/power lines – up to 2 years

depending on level of damage

Loss Estimates - Offshore

• Fire/Explosion/Windstorm

– 100% loss of Rama Complex Process Platform US$300 million (with allowance for

removal of wreck and clean up) – 26 month rebuild

– BI = US$130 million (26 months) loss of feed to GSP1 – 60% of supply

– Combined PD/BI – US$430 million

• Loss of Alia complex lower PD and will shut down GSP2

• Machinery Breakdown – Loss of Compressor on Compressor Platform – should be

OK as normally only 3 required

• Natural Hazards – loss/damage to platform – up to 26 months depending on level of

damage

EML Scenarios, Calculation Methodology& Vapour Cloud Explosions

EML Definition

“The largest, low probability loss, which could be caused by a single occurrence of the peril in question. Reasonably adverse conditions are assumed to exist; active protection systems are assumed to be inoperable.”

EMLs are based on events considered by the engineer to be credible rather than merely conceivable.

On most sites we could all conceive a highly improbable event that would destroy the whole site.

• Scenario Identification: Consideration given to largest credible inherent hazard & concentration of values

– Require accurate plot plan

– Replacement Values: Unit breakdown values & year of values

– Consequence analysis using ExTool (modeling software by Swiss Re Insurance company)

EML should not be used as Loss Limit without careful consideration and advice to assured that EML can be exceeded.

Vapour Cloud Explosion (VCE)

• Release of liquefied gas which flashes to produce a vapour cloud and finds an ignition source.

• Information required for VCE:– Source of release– Composition of release (mixture or single component)– Available inventory for release– Pressure & temperature– Release rate– Duration (limited to 600 seconds)

Vapour Cloud Explosion – ExTool Output Example

Vapour Cloud Explosion

• To calculate Total EML value, other costs include:– Inflation to current year – using published indices– Allowance for Associated Buildings and Utilities– Allowance for Interconnecting Pipework, etc.– Redesign, Procurement Engineering, Supervision, Testing and Commissioning costs– Removal of debris– Plus inflation to end of policy year– Cost escalation on "S" Curve over rebuilding period

– Relative Risk Ranking

• Values

– Property

• Estimation of EMLs

Business Interruption

Business Interruption Insurance

• Major underwriting concern

– Small PD can give huge BI exposure

– BI is being given much more attention by Underwriters

• Underwriters believe that BI is not well understood by Brokers and Insured alike!

– Some 100 page Risk Survey reports have “two paragraphs” on BI

– Bases and assumptions rarely stated

– Lack of transparency in estimation methods used

• Bases and Assumptions

– Gross Profit, Standing Charges

– Assumed plant throughput

– Assumed pricing or margin

– Contingent liabilities

• Breakdown of BI

– By site – minimum required

– By key area or process unit preferred

– Generated by LP if possible

BI EML may not be same event as PD EML!
