 The Oil and Gas Value Chain & Inherent Hazards

The materials processed

in this industry is highly
reactive and dangerous,
therefore uncontrolled
release of the materials
can result in catastrophic
incident!

 Introduction to Process Safety and LOC
• Process Safety is management of hazards that can give rise to major
accidents involving the release of potentially dangerous materials, release
of energy or both through implementation of engineered and administrative
safeguards.
• Process safety philosophy can be explained through “The Onion Model”
• Loss of Containment (LOC) is an unplanned or uncontrolled release of any
materials, including non-toxic and non-flammable process materials, from its
primary containment that may result in catastrophic consequences in terms
of safety, environment, asset, and reputation.
 Primary Containment is equipment designed to keep a material within it.
Pipeline, piping and tanks are example of primary containment
 Examples of LOC is overflow of tanks and spill from leakage in pipeline
• Detecting all types of LOC is challenging
o Long pipeline
o Big facilities
o Geographical challenges (pipe location, tanks location)
• Detecting observable LOC is possible, early detection will mitigate further
consequences and minimize the impact of LOC.
• Alternative solution: using machine learning based intelligent alarm
system to notify Operators of potential LOC which will enable quick
response as a layer of safeguard. Spill from leak/rupture of
piping/pipeline
 Machine Learning Concept
 Machine Learning is a branch of artificial
intelligence (AI) focused on building applications
that learn from data and improve their accuracy
over time without being programmed to do so. It
trained a sequence of statistical processing steps
to find patterns and features in massive amounts
of data in order to make decisions and predictions
based on new data.

 AI is a broad term that aims at using data to offer

solutions to existing problems. Some example
solutions:
 Classification
 Prediction
 Estimation
 Association
 Optimization
 Clustering

 The objective of Machine Learning is to gain

knowledge from data
Types of Machine Learning Methods
• Supervised Learning
• The dataset have target/label/class as the “guru”/supervisor
• Most of the algorithms for ML/DS are using Supervised Learning
• The learning process is based on the target variable associated with the predictor
variable
• Unsupervised Learning
• The algorithm find the pattern by analyzing all variables (attributes)
• The dataset doesn’t have target/label/class attribute
• Clustering algorithms are categorized as Unsupervised Learning
• Semi-supervised Learning
• It is a combination of supervised and unsupervised learning methods.
• For example, in the beginning we separate a dataset into two datasets, which the
first one is a dataset containing a healthy condition of a machine, while the other
dataset it for unhealthy condition by supervised learning method,. Then after the
dataset separated, each dataset is clustered by using unsupervised learning
• Deep Learning
• This is a mixed of all the learning types with deeper processes/layers

 Multi Layer Perceptron Model
• Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) is a branch of
neural network that uses supervised learning
to learn a function of input and output based
on training data sets
• The working principles:
• The input data sample vectors are
propagated forward through the neural
network to generate the output values
from the output layer.
• Compare the generated output vector
with the actual/desired output vector for
that input data vector.
• Compute difference in error at the output
units.
• Back propagate error values to generate
errors at each node/neuron.
• Compute weight gradients by multiplying
the output error and input activation.
• Use learning rate to determine
percentage of the gradient to be
subtracted from original weight and
update the weight of the nodes.

 Computer Vision Concept
• Computer vision (CV) is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that
enables computers to derive meaningful information from
digital images, videos and other visual inputs — and take
actions or make recommendations based on that information.
• If AI enables computers to think, computer vision enables them to
see, observe and understand
• Integration of computer vision into visual devices will turn it into
additional eyes that help maintain safe and reliable operations
despite any major safety and reliability challenges

 Introduction to Convolutional Neural Network
Convolutional Neural Network  A machine learning algorithm that use a combination of RGB kernel/filter,
activation function and pooling to perform a convolution operation (moving matrix multiplication) to portions of
input image to extract features of the image that will be used as learning data for neural network to correctly classify
the image.
