Report
In this report, you are required to prepare a comprehensive report on "Health, Safety, Environment, and Fire in Oil and Gas Industry" concerning Oil and Gas operations, especially mechanical and chemical risks, shallow gas blowouts, and electrical hazards. Your report should demonstrate best practices for the avoidance and management of incidents, a critical understanding of previous occurrences, risk assessment, and an appropriate approach to mitigation and management.
You should organize your report into the following sections:
Question 1. Introduction to HSE in the oil and gas industry (Maximum 250 words)

Question 2. Mechanical and chemical aspects of HSE, fire protection, and emergency response (Maximum 400 words)
"Explain the mechanical hazards and chemical hazards, analyze how these hazards contributed to accidents and fire or explosion risks, and outline the fire protection techniques used with examples from refinery or drilling operations." (Provide Supporting images)
Question 3. Shallow gas blowout hazards, prevention and control (300 words)
"Define shallow gas and what drilling conditions could trigger blowouts? What are the impacts of such events on workers, the environment, and facilities? Provide case studies and discuss both preventive measures and control techniques."
Question 4. Electricity hazards and static electricity hazards (200 words)
"Evaluate the risks of electricity, including igniting flammable vapors, discuss the sources and risks of static electricity in fire and explosion incidents, provide examples of such incidents, and the control measures." Get expert assignment help online from PhD writers.
Question 5. Development of an F&EHS policy (200 words)

Referencing
Referencing is a system that allows you to acknowledge the contributions of others in your writing and emphasizes the authenticity of the source of your information. Whenever you use ANY words, ideas, or information from ANY source in your assignments, you must reference those sources. This means if you quote the exact words of an author, if you paraphrase or reconstruct their words or if you summarize their ideas, you must provide a reference.
Note: In-text citation is required; giving a bibliography/list of references at the end of work without citation in-text is not considered as the correct method of referencing, and the mark will be deducted accordingly.
All academic writing must be cited and referenced; non-referenced work/write-up will be considered as plagiarism.
Follow the Harvard system of referencing throughout your text.
