In undertaking the Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) and Job Safety Analysis (JSA) for the Al-Shaheen field, the primary goal is to introduce new projects while maintaining the safety and integrity of current operations. This involves a detailed evaluation of potential risks associated with new initiatives, ensuring that they align with existing safety standards and do not compromise the operational safety of ongoing units. Through these analyses, we aim to identify and mitigate any hazards that could arise from the integration of new developments, thereby safeguarding the welfare of personnel and the environment. Furthermore, these assessments are crucial in facilitating a seamless integration of new projects, guaranteeing that they enhance, rather than disrupt, the field’s operations.
