Abstract
Operations in upstream oil and gas companies had a high risk of fire. The huge fire that occurred at the liquified petroleum gas (LPG) facility can cause the LPG production process to stop for approximately five months. In this case, the offshore facilities must de-pressurize and shut down the production wells to cut off the supply of hydrocarbons to the onshore facilities. This study aims to assess the fire risk in the hydrocarbon containment: crude oil and LPG storage tanks. The method used was Task Risk Assessment (TRA) which adjusted to the company. The results in crude oil storage tanks obtained 3 high-risk potential hazards were hydrocarbon gas release, hydrocarbon liquid release from the bleeder vent, and crude oil spills. In LPG sphere storage tanks, there are 2 high-risk potential hazards were gas clouds from pipes and LPG spills. The recommendation is carry out the control based on the hierarchy.
