Risk assessment is one of the main tool followed by oil and gas industries
in

order to assess the hazards and risk in their facilities worldwide.

Qualitative and

quantitative risk assessments are carried out at various phases of the

process

industry from conceptual stage, design stage, construction stage,

operational

stage, decommissioning stage etc. The quantitative risk assessment is

directed

during the detailed design stage uses to decide the spacing and layout out
of

equipments for safe operation and maintenance of oil and gas industries.
The

equipment layout and spacing is based on the safe distances are to be

carried out

on various design safety studies. In this work a study to carried out on

upstream

onshore natural gas gathering station and associated equipments and

pipeline

network. The fire, explosion assessment and toxic gas dispersion are
conducted

in order to evaluate, how it effects on people, asset and environment.

Whether

the design protection systems are adequate enough to mitigate the

consequences

or any additional measures needed to be provided to reduce risk to

acceptable

level is analysed. Software models are used to do assess consequence of

various

accident scenarios are considered for this this study
