Reviews

'This book shows the Integrated Operations expertise developed in Norway's Integrated Operations Center, between science community, operators and service companies. It compares two methods to evaluate the safety impact of moving a control room from offshore to onshore. Quantitative Risk Analysis focuses on the physical facility and activities, Resilience Engineering on human factors and the ability to deal with unexpected situations. Real life decisions need to cover both aspects, to ensure safe operations in the short and long term.'Frans van den Berg, Shell Projects & Technology, The Netherlands'This excellent collection of research articles provides both theoretical and practical insights to guide risk management for IO systems. Pointers to unresolved issues are given that provide inspiration for future research. My first reaction was to wish I had been part of this research project. I'll be referring to this book often in my ongoing investigation of human decision making in the IO environment.'Bill Nelson, Det Norske Veritas (USA), Inc., USA'This book is an important contribution to R&D, helping to understand and manage risks that may occur in relation to the use of integrated operations (IO). We hope the book will prove of practical use for risk assessments and establishment of work processes in organizations using IO. We believe this book will stimulate discussions and increase knowledge of the subject.'Grete Loland, The Petroleum Safety Authority, Norway
