While health, safety and environment are key priorities in the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors of the Oil & Gas industry.
Unfortunately, it is also one of the most vulnerable industry when it comes to lightning related dangers.
With heavy lightning intensity in Nigeria and West Africa of 140-180 thunderstorm days per annum compared with Europe 5-15 days.
Assets are obviously at great risk.
Lightning strikes and it’s increasing secondary effects ravage critical oil and gas facilities causing them to malfunction, breakdown and even go up in flames. Despite these obvious known problems and dangers.
Not many operators truly understand what lightning and power quality is all about.
Thus not being able to implement preventive measures to improve lightning safety and power quality for their infrastructure.
Offshore Platforms, Production Rigs, Pipelines, Refineries, Petro chemicals, Terminals and Tank farms etc. are all vulnerable.
