Sistema de parada de emergência em plataformas de perfuração

Abstract

The present work is a bibliographical research and has as general objective the demonstration of main differentials inside the emergency stop system in a Drillship. For this purpose, the ESD (Emergency Shutdown) System was referenced. The Emergency Stop of a Drillship, located on a sixth generation platform, built in the year two thousand and twelve, at the DSME Shipyard in South Korea, and which, today, operates in the Campos Basin - Brazil. The justification is based on the dangerous offshore work conditions, which often result in incidents (near-accidents and accidents) and, in some cases, real disasters, both human and property and / or environmental, such as the accident occurred at the Plataform Piper Alpha. The advancement of oil exploration in deeper and ultra-deeper waters, brought the necessity of a growing search for new technologies with the objective of improving the dynamics and safety of operations, as the use of offshore platforms became more and more necessary and intense with the discovery of new fields and oil deposits. The technical part is based on reports of companies operating from the beginning of these activities in Brazil, resulting in the Results and Discussion and concluding that it is essential the training of the operators, as well as a great knowledge of the equipment, with respect to the form of depending on the emergency presented, as well as depending on the mode the equipment is at the moment so that the use in the entire care of set is strictly being applied.
