SWOT-аналіз у системі управління ризиками морських бурових платформ

The article is dedicated to analyzing the risks associated with the maintenance and operation of offshore drilling platforms, which are critically important assets in the oil and gas industry. The primary risks for these platforms include physical threats (such as storms, high waves, and equipment corrosion), technical issues, human factors, and environmental hazards, including pollution from potential oil spills. The study examines modern risk management methods that reduce the likelihood of accidents, including computer modelling, simulations, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), the Internet of Things (IoT) for real-time equipment monitoring, as well as regular audits and personnel training. Particular attention is given to innovative technologies that significantly improve risk management. For instance, digital twins allow for the creation of digital replicas of physical assets, enabling the prediction of their behaviour under various scenarios. Big data analytics helps to identify patterns that allow for the prediction of technical failures, while automation and artificial intelligence (AI) aid in the early detection of potential issues. The SWOT analysis showed that the strengths of platforms include highly skilled personnel and modern monitoring technologies. However, the high cost of innovation and reliance on human factors remain major challenges. Among the opportunities are the development of new safety technologies and improvements to international standards, which could enhance risk management efficiency. The main threats include adverse weather conditions, environmental disasters, and the risk of cyberattacks. The study's findings demonstrate the importance of integrating modern technologies into risk management practices to reduce the incidence of accidents and ensure stable platform operations. The article concludes that adopting innovations and regularly improving risk management strategies are essential factors in ensuring the safe operation of offshore drilling platforms
