The project involved the Detailed Engineering Design (DED) of the expansion the existing Boil-off Gas Compressor in the existing NLNG facility at Finima in Bonny Island.

Bowtie Workshop
The objectives of the Bowtie Workshop were to:
⦁ Identify the potential hazard release, escalation, and consequence scenarios.
⦁ Identify the controls (i.e., Barriers and Escalation Factor Controls) required to effectively manage these hazards, (e.g., HSE Critical Elements, HSE Critical Tasks and Procedures).
⦁ Support the ALARP demonstration.
⦁ Provide visibility and communicate the above information to those responsible for managing, or who may be affected by the hazards.
⦁ Have the ability in the event of an incident, to relate cause of incidents to the controls that failed, thus enabling improved incident prevention
