Through an umbrella program, the Flower Gardens Ocean Research Program (FGORP), scientists and students from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and several other Gulf coast universities have been able to utilize offshore oil/gas production platforms as field stations from which to conduct research and undertake training in scientific diving technology. As a cooperative program with several offshore oils and gas producers, the research and training conducted through FGORP has been effective, productive, and cost efficient.

Decommissioning offshore oil and gas production facilities have been progressively increasing the concern of the industry, government and other interest groups through the last years. There are at least two reasons for this sudden regard. First, it is the maturing of several oil and gas fields around the world in recent years. Second, it is the growing impact of environmental concerns in international affairs. Despite several works published address to some techniques and to potential problems and risks related to decommissioning offshore oil and gas production installations its procedures are in some extent an innovative issue, especially in Brazil. Therefore, the motivation of this paper is the novelty of the subject in Brazil, since the national industry is just beginning to deal with the end-of-leasing obligations, which involve decommissioning operations. The main ambition is to stimulate debate about appropriate issues.

Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO), a significant offshore oil-gas production system, faces a variety of risks in the process of operation. Vapor cloud explosion (VCE) caused by combustible gas leakage is likely to occur on the topside of FPSO. As an initial accident, VCE has an effect on surrounding devices, leading to subsequent consequences and ampliative scale of the accident. The process, known as the domino effect, can result in severe consequences, indicating that it is necessary to analyze characteristics and impacts of the domino effect on FPSO. In this study, the most risky equipment is determined. VCE overpressure on device surfaces caused by gas leakage of this most risky equipment is calculated, and the results are used for analyzing the domino effect based on Bayesian network.
