It includes a major part of lost working times, and in recent years, along with the development of oilfields and oil platform construction activities in Iran, hazardous risks and events have occurred and have been recorded. Therefore, this study aims to reduce the negative effects of the risks engaged in oil platform construction activities in the region under study, i.e. the Abuzar oilfield. The indexing system method, along with determining the importance index, effect, and frequency of occurrence, was used in this study to evaluate the environmental risks of oil platform construction activities in Abuzar oilfield. First, the project activities were identified and then, the effect of desired activities on environmental aspects (water, air, soil, human, waste production, and noise) was investigated. For quantitative estimation of risk values through interviewing the experts and using the tables of intensity, effect, and frequency of event occurrence, were calculated based on the formula governing the effect of different activities on the environment, and the risk value was determined. The research findings indicated that most of the environmental risks are in the range of average risks (72.9%) however 20.2% are in the range of low risks and 6.9% are in the range of high risks. Finally, considering experts’ viewpoints, management solutions were proposed to reduce the risk of activities, and the risk priority numbers were calculated after performing the corrective actions.

Thus, in case of confronting any danger or risk, its consequences must be evaluated [1]. Risk management refers to the systematic process of identifying, analyzing, and reacting to the risks involved in a project [2]. This management guarantees maximizing the probability and consequences of positive events, and minimizing the probability and consequences of negative events regarding the project objectives [3]. Risk management acts as a prediction tool. It probes the uncertain future to identify the things that might cause serious risks and prevents them, or seeks for an important opportunity [4, 5]. Oilfield exploration and production from oil reservoirs is one of the projects always associated with high risks [6, 7]. Due to their unique features, the plans and projects related to oil industry are totally different to other plans and projects in terms of extent and type of the risk [8, 9]. The features and characteristics distinguishing oil industry plans and projects from other plans is the great volume of investment and long-term plans in this industry [9], so that the longer the plan implementation, the higher the associated uncertainties and risks [10, 11]. Another unique feature in implementing the oilfield development plans is unknown and uncertain oil volume to be produced as the oil reservoir is located hundreds of meters under the ground, and it is not possible to certainly determine its volume, quality, and distribution [12, 13]. The construction phase is one of the very risky stages engaged in oilfields, which usually involves minor to severe human, financial, and environmental damages, and includes a major part of lost working times [14, 15], so that in recent years, along with the development of oilfields and oil platform construction activities in Iran, hazardous risks and events have occurred and recorded [16-18] and several studies have addresses environmental risk management and evaluation in construction phases of oil projects in general and oilfields in particular [9, 19, 20]. This study aims to reduce the negative effects of the risks engaged in oil platform construction activities in the region under study, i.e., Abuzar oilfield. Abuzar oilfield, located 75 km from western Khark Island, includes three major production platforms of AA, AB, and AC. It has the greatest share of oil production in the Persian Gulf and Iran. Each oil platform in this field has the capacity of producing 80,000 barrels of oil per day. Totally, 195,000- 220,000 barrels of oil is produced from this field on a daily basis. So far, 107 oil wells have been drilled in Abuzar oilfield. According to the estimations, total reserve of this field is about Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research Vol. 7, No. 3, 2017, 1658-1663 1659 www.etasr.com Younesi et al.: Environmental Risk Assessment and Management in Oil Platform Construction Phase … 4 billion barrels of oil, 20% of which can be produced. The current production capacity of Abuzar oilfield is 240,000 barrels per day. Given the great oil volume of this field and the importance of oil platform construction risks due to the risky operations involved, risk assessment in Abuzar oilfield is necessary. Efforts have been made in this study to thoroughly investigate and identify the activities performed in the site and determine their potential damages in order to take the necessary measures for environmental risk management and reducing the risks prevailing in the site. II. METHOD The environmental risk assessment method used in this study has a general application in a wide range of risks [21]. According to this model, the primary focus is on identifying the plan activities. The plan activities were completely identified based on the field visits from Abuzar oilfield platform construction plan. Then, the effect of the desired activities on environmental aspects (water, air, soil, human, waste production, and noise) were investigated. In order to specify and classify the unexpected activities and events leasing to environmental risks in the projects, the unexpected activities and events in Abuzar oilfield platform construction and their effects on environmental aspects were identified by investigating valid and scientific documents and expert survey, reported in Table I.

Environmental risk values were calculated based on the following formula [23] governing the effect of different activities on the environment: Environmental risk = the effect of activity on environmental aspects × the importance of activity in environmental aspects × the frequency of event occurrence. and the risk value was quantitatively determined, and recorded in the RPN column of a prepared datasheet before performing the corrective actions [22]. After determining the activities and identifying the effects of air, soil, and water pollution, noise, waste, and the damage caused by these activities in order to quantify the risk associated with them, Table II of importance, effect, and frequency of event occurrence was created. The risk level based on importance, effect, and frequency of event occurrence is as the following [24, 25] (Table III): A. Low risk: 1-14 B. Moderate risk: 15-79 C. High risk: 80-125 TABLE II.

The best actions were selected by the experts and its list was confirmed by the risk assessment team, so that it could be announced to the project manager in order to reduce environmental risks. Finally, the risk value was determined quantitatively after performing the corrective actions. III. RESEARCH FINDINGS The environmental risk values determined based on the results of field visits and related expert meetings for Abuzar oilfield platforms are given in Table IV. An example of calculating the environmental risks caused by project activities before/after performing the corrective actions is shown in this table. Following, the analysis results of Abuzar oilfield platform are explained. Furthermore, according to Table V, quantitative risk assessment during construction showed that 20.2% of risks had the numerical values in the range of 1-14 (low), 72.9% of the risks had numerical values in the range of 15-79 (moderate risk), and 6.9% of the risks had numerical values greater than 80 (Figure 1). According to the management strategies proposed in this stage to remove, reduce, and control environmental risk, a re-evaluation was performed on the project risk values after performing corrective actions, and the number of project risks decreased according to Table VI after performing corrective actions. According to Table VI, quantitative evaluation of environmental risks involved in the project during construction after performing corrective actions showed that 80.3% environmental risks involved in construction phase are low risks, 19.7% of the risks are moderate risks (15-79), and 100% of the high risks were removed after performing corrective actions (Figure 2).

Moreover, the number of moderate environmental risks during construction phase after performing corrective actions decreased from 137 to 37, which indicates 72.98% decrease in moderate risks involved in construction phase. The number of environmental risks with values greater than 80 also reached zero, which indicates 100% decrease in high environmental risks after performing corrective actions. IV. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Among all oil companies and installations, the oil platforms and production facilities, especially compared to onshore and offshore facilities, are of great importance in terms of Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research Vol. 7, No. 3, 2017, 1658-1663 1662 www.etasr.com Younesi et al.: Environmental Risk Assessment and Management in Oil Platform Construction Phase … environmental damages due to their distance from the beach, great number of personnel, significant reserves of hydrocarbon and chemicals, unique operational conditions, and the potential to cause huge industrial accidents. Therefore, knowing about their environmental aspects and consequences has an important and valuable role. Final results in this study indicated that the construction phase is one of the very risky stages engaged in oilfields, which usually involves minor to severe environmental damages. Most of the environmental damages are in the range of moderate risks (72.9%), 20.2% are in the range of low risks, and 6.9% are in the range of high risks. TABLE VI.

Another previous research to evaluate the environmental risk using EFMEA method indicated that the greatest environmental risk is attributed to the construction phase, and 20% of its risk are in the range of low risks, 62% are in the range of medium risk and 18% are in the range of high risk [18]. In [27], authors addressed the evaluation and selection of risk responses of the projects during construction phase. Their results showed that risk evaluation results in a significant improvement in time, cost, and quality of the project during construction phase. In a similar research [28], authors studied environmental risk management and evaluation in Abadan. The purpose of their study was to remove, reduce, and control the existing environmental risks. 57 risk factors were determined during construction phase. Except the 21 environmental risks that were within an acceptable range, all of them were in the range of high risks, and suitable control measures in accordance with the activity or the process had to be taken. In [29], authors investigated the factors associated with event occurrence in the construction phase of oil, gas, and petrochemical projects in Assaluyeh and identifies four variables contributing in fatal occupational accidents during construction phase of the projects: unsafe conditions, unsafe operations, mismanagement factors, and using defective tools, materials, equipment and machinery, among which the unsafe conditions and mismanagement factors have a greater effect on occurrence of fatal accidents during construction phase. V. SUGGESTIONS The following corrective actions are suggested to reduce the environmental risks identified and minimize them: 1) Completing the environmental procedures and guidelines available in form of an integrated management system. 2) Holding educational and training courses required for all employees at different levels to increase their level of knowledge and awareness regarding environmental issues. Some of the important environmental educational courses identified during studies, which are necessary to be held for the employees are:  Professional courses on risk assessment and evaluation for the experts in upper and middle levels  Professional courses on combating oil pollution  Managing emergency situation  Managing the wastes at different levels 3) Holding monthly meetings of HSE committee, with presence of the authorities, HSE experts, and contracting representatives in order to investigate the problems and propose a schedule to solve the problems and challenges. 4) Integrating the preventive maintenance system in all operational sites under computerized maintenance management system. 5) Performing environmental monitoring continuously and according to the integrated management system requirements and self-reported plan of environmental protection agencies. 6) Removing the inconsistencies identified in the internal and external audits of the company and performing the corresponding corrective actions. 7) Adopting preventive policies to control environmental risks, rather than the current reactive policies and procedures. 8) Environmental risk assessment and analyzing the consequences before installing the new equipment or any changes in the process. 9) Updating meteorological information (e.g., temperature, humidity, wind direction, wave height, predicting the storm and unfavorable weather conditions).
