Overview
The Risk_OMT project developed a model for risk analysis of hydrocarbon leaks on offshore installations. The work was based on hydrocarbon leaks in the Norwegian sector in the period 2001-2005. The data basis has been further improved through research financed by Preventor in 2011, and has resulted in a series of papers called “HC Leak Quartet”.
