3 Background and Motivation Eagle Ford shale in Texas post/ /drilling-shale-andblowouts-this-is-a-classic Blowout Preventer (BOP) Failure of shale gas well facilities can have catastrophic consequences for people and environment Statistics shows that majority of blowouts happen during drilling when pressure kicks propagate into the well and BOP fails to divert the gas to a flare stack Safe design of Major Hazards installations requires quantitative risk assessment (QRA) based on models predicting the hazards 3 3

21 Thermal radiation safe distances Safe radiation thresholds: Safe distances to a vertical jet flame for personnel and steel structures. <--- consistent with the well layout Wind speed 10 m/s. Flat terrain, no firewalls. 21
22 Explosion overpressure hazards Potential damage to health caused by peak overpressure for various types of locations Type of location People in the open Peak overpressure (mbar) People in normal buildings Blast resistant buildings Blast proof buildings > 200 > 1000 Potential damage Eardrum rupture Picked up and thrown; likely fatality Significant likelihood of fatality due to masonry collapse and projectiles, particularly glass Some likely fatality Some likely fatality 22
23 Explosions safe distances Level of confinement: Potentially fatal overpressure threshold for people in buildings Peak overpressure (mbar) consistent with the well layout Distance from explosion centre (m) 200 Simulated explosion overpressures as a function of distance from the explosion source at the wellhead for various levels of confinement 23
24 Conclusions A methodology has been developed to predict hazards associated with shale gas wellhead blowout The methodology enables prediction of o the transient flow rate, o the thermal radiation from jet fires, and o the explosion overpressure levels The methodology was applied to evaluate safety hazards for a hypothetical blowout scenario for a realistic shale gas well 24
