Currently, I am working on a project that necessitates a quantitative risk assessment (frequency analysis and consequence analysis) of buried crude oil pipelines, considering specific hazard scenarios.
Most of the hazard analyses I have come across were conducted on gas pipelines, and there seems to be a limited number of publications that deal with liquids. Moreover, these few studies do not consider crater formation. I have found that the PHAST software considers crater formation, but as a student, the subscription cost is expensive for me.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend any resources or literature that specifically address crater formation in the context of pipeline hazards involving crude oil.
Also, I have been reviewing several research papers and noticed that many of them use databases of historical accidents for their assessments.
Provided the pipeline system requires relevant information regarding the pipeline design and installation, properties of the fluid being transported, and the main conditions in the surroundingsWhile I understand the value of this approach, I have some concerns about its applicability to my study. Specifically, I am unsure how accidents involving pipelines with different pipeline systems are relevant to the parameters I will choose for my study.I am unsure how to draw conclusions from this historical data given these differences.
