Abstract:

To ensure the safety of national strategic oil and gas reserve depots, a quantitative assessment method for the safety resilience of oil and gas storage facilities under sudden event disturbances was proposed in this paper. Three types of risks, namely traditional risks, strategic security risks, and cyber-physical cross-domain risks, were adopted to simulate the dynamic evolution of system failures. The anti-interference and self-recovery capabilities of the oil and gas storage system were incorporated, and the evolution characteristics of system safety resilience were quantitatively described. The safety resilience of the system under different sudden events was then assessed. A above-ground oil and gas strategic reserve facility was taken as an example, and nine sudden event scenarios across four categories were simulated. The results show that, under the same sudden event, significant differences exist in the accident evolution characteristics and safety resilience values of storage tanks with different diameters and spatial locations. Cyber physical cross-domain sudden events feature fast spreading, easy containment and rapid system recovery, whereas strategic security sudden events lead to strong destructive effects and low resilience levels. The proposed method provides a clear quantitative description of the dynamic impacts of different sudden events on oil and gas storage systems. It also supports the comparison of different safety assurance measures and provides a basis for proposing targeted multidimensional safety resilience improvement measures from pre-event, during-event, and post-event perspectives.
