The Oil Rig
In 1988, a tragic explosion occurred on the Piper Alpha oil platform in the North Sea, resulting in 165 fatalities. The platform, which was constructed and operated from 1972 to 1976, produced 250,000 to 300,000 barrels of oil per day. A gas conservation module was installed in the North Sea to meet UK gas conservation requirements, with modules B and C capturing gas for transport to St Fergus in Scotland. During Phase 2 production, Tartan and Claymore pumped gas to Piper Alpha, then to the mcp1 gas compressing platform for further transport. Unfortunately, the failure to follow safety procedures led to the explosion on the Piper Alpha platform. Engineers neglected to properly check safety valve instructions before starting pump A, resulting in gas leaks and subsequent explosions. The shift manager's oversight of safety precautions allowed pump A to start, leading to catastrophic consequences.
