"This book provides an...analysis of the international legal dimension of the management of the risk of accidents associated with offshore oil and gas activities. The editors cover the prevention and minimization of harm as well as the post-accident management of loss through liability and compensation arrangements and the processing of mass claims for compensation. While postulating a public international law framework for offshore oil and gas operations globally and exploring critical elements thereof, this book draws heavily on comparative assessments of domestic concepts and approaches, especially as regards offshore safety, liability for and compensation of harm, and mass tort claims procedures."

This book presents a theoretical framework for the quantitative calculation of casualties and damage from jet fires caused by high-pressure gas leaks in pressure vessels or pipelines. The framework incorporates gas leakage models, combustion dynamics models, thermal radiation models, and thermal damage criteria. It conducts sensitivity and uncertainty analyses for the input parameters of the theoretical framework. The robustness of the theoretical framework is verified through field tests. Ultimately, the theoretical framework is used to quantitatively analyze the accidents involving jet fires due to the rupture of natural gas transmission pipelines. The sub-models within the theoretical framework are developed using the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, combustion, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer, and have been validated by small-scale laboratory tests. However, the theoretical framework receives the validation of field tests and real-world case studies. The theoretical deductions in this book offer significant guidance for scaling up from the laboratory experiments to field applications. The book is intended for anyone interested in understanding the risks associated with gas leaks and jet fires. The methodology enables the calculation of hazards for specific processes in isolation or their integration to assess overall consequences.
