INTRODUCTION ii Date Revised : October 20, 1998 GAS PROCESSING FACILITY SAFETY INSPECTION CHECKLIST FOREWORD In 1970, GPA Technical Section A undertook the task of

6、 developing a checklist on plant design. In 1978, the Board of Directors requested the Technical Committee to prepare a similar work on energy conservation. It was completed in 1981. These two publications cover their title subjects well but make only casual reference to safety. To fill this void, t

7、he GPA Safety Committee agreed during their October, 1982 meeting to develop a safety checklist. The initial task force was chaired by Richard Bausell, Cities Service Oil & Gas Corp., with Joel Tietjens, Mitchell Energy, and William E. Childers as members. Through the next four years, numerous Safet

8、y Committee members worked on parts of the check list. (1) The last draft was completed in 1986. The final work, “Gas Processing Facility Safety Inspection Checklist“, was published in early 1987. The industry extends its sincere thanks to the initial task force, committee members and to those unnam

9、ed and unheralded individuals who contributed their time and expertise in the preparation of this publication. In addition, a special thanks to Leona Steinbarge of Mitchell Energy and Development Corporation for providing many hours to organize and prepare this document. As part of the 1996 GPA Safe

10、ty Committee “Vision 2000“ effort led by Steve Godby and Mike Burgess, it was decided by the Committee that the GPA “Gas Processing Facility Safety Inspection Checklist“ should be updated to reflect recent legislative considerations such as OSHA 1910.119, Process Safety Management. A team composed o

11、f Jeff Smith, Mobil, John Farrah, Marathon, Dan Kalisek, Marathon, Beth Hutton, Texaco, John Williams, Mitchell 3as Services, Walt Braunlin, Terry Pelham, Marathon, Wade Ingle, KN Energy and Darrel Lester, Torch Energy, as formed to accomplish this task. Liz Powell and Brenda McGuire, Marathon, and

12、Joy Harkins, Mitchell Gas Services, provided the word processing services for the preparation of this checklist. To simplify and clarify as much as possible, the organization of the “original checklist“ was changed. It was judged that the original arrangement of the checklist was satisfactory. Howev

13、er, under each major processing category, the questions were rearranged into two major categories: (1) Regulatory Considerations and (2) Other Considerations. It is our judgement that this arrangement will provide the most usable document for the personnel who are assessing the total safety performa

14、nce and safety compliance of their plants. Please note that OSHA Process Safety Management issues reflect only activities that occurred since May 26, 1992.
