Reliability Analysis Applied In The Oil And Gas Industry - Ensuring Operational Excellence

The analysis of reliability applied in the oil and gas industry has been a topic of utmost importance, considering the costs associated with potential production stoppages. In general, system failures can cause significant project losses, such as productivity loss. These failures can be related to the installation's equipment and/or may involve operators, especially in cases where their performance is essential to ensure the safety and continuity of operations. In both cases, appropriate techniques can be applied jointly or separately to analyze uncertainties and ensure that failure events do not result in operational losses. With the aim of presenting the applicability of these reliability techniques, this article provides a brief literature review, seeking to present some applications and trends for the oil and gas industry.
