Abstract

This research delves into the risk assessment of storage tanks within an oil and gas company operational
since 2015. Being Aboveground Storage Tanks, they present significant hazards, including fire and explosions,
jeopardizing the safety of operators and nearby communities. Such risks stem from both internal factors, like
corrosion-induced physical damage and aging, and external factors such as human errors, natural calamities, or
unexpected incidents. Utilizing the Risk Based Inspection (RBI) approach, based on API 580 and API 581 standards
from 2000, the study aims to gauge the potential risk levels associated with tank failures. The research framework
encompasses identifying damage mechanisms, assessing failure probabilities, understanding the consequences of
potential failures, and determining risk levels and inspection schedules. The central aim of this investigation is to
comprehend the underlying damage mechanisms, quantify associated risks, and formulate robust inspection
strategies to preemptively address system failures. Consequently, the study strives to offer actionable preventive
recommendations to safeguard the tanks' integrity and optimize their operational performance.
