From June 10 to 14, Prof. Mary Ann Lundteigen, an Overseas Expertise Introduction Center for Discipline Innovation (called “111” program) and Dr Liu Yiliu from NTNU were invited by College of Safety and Ocean Engineering (CSOE) to CUPB for an academic exchange. Prof. Lundteigen gave academic lectures entitled “Status on Research Projects and Programs in the Norwegian Oil and Gas Industry: Some Selected Example” and "Perspective on Design and Operation of Safety-Instrumented Systems in the Oil and Gas Industry: A Review of SIS Related Standards and Practices", which were hosted by Prof. Jianchun Fan and Prof. Jian Shuai respectively. Associate Prof. Li Yiliu gave a keynote lecture entitled "Performance assessment of safety-of-safety-critical system under complex environment" which was hosted by Prof. Fan Jianchun of CSOE as well.
In the lecture, Prof. Lundteigen gave a brief overview of the challenges faced by oil and gas market and the future of the oil and gas sector. She went to elaborate on the large research projects being carried out at the NTNU, including Research-based innovation center in subsea production and processing, BRU21: Better resource exploitation (on the Norwegian Continental Shelf) and Safety 4.0: On the introduction of new technologies for safety systems. The second one, some perspectives on the design and operation of safety-instrumented systems in the oil and gas industry were illustrated. Some examples of their application areas in relation to oil and gas facilities, both topside and subsea were given. The lecture then continued with the key standards that are framing the design and operation of such systems. To be mentioned are: IEC 61508, IEC 61511, Guideline 070[1] (developed by the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association) and NORSOK S-001[2]. The lecture given by Prof. Liu is the follow-up of that of Professor Lundteigen, for performance analysis of safety-critical systems. The main performance measures and their adaptability were discussed. Common modeling approaches and algorithms were introduced in a brief way. In addition, the lecture gave some information about the analysis for safety-critical systems under more complex environment.
On the morning of June 10, the faculty and staff of Department Safety Engineering in CSOE and Prof. Lundteigen introduced the history of both universities and colleges. After that they made in-depth discussions on discipline construction, research teams, research fields and technical issues. Profs. Lundteigen and Fan Jianchun talked about laboratory on structural damage and erosion wear. Prof. Fan introduced magnetic memory detection technology, wall climbing robot storage tank monitoring and other related equipment. On June 11 afternoon, Prof. Lundteigen visited the Laboratories on Pipeline Technology and Safety and underwater VR. Prof. Dong introduced the pipeline three-dimensional three-axis high-definition magnetic flux leakage detector and demonstrated the detection example. Dr. Wang showed the simulated installation process of underwater manifolds and invited Prof. Lundteigen to show the actual operation of VR.
Keynote speaker introduction:
Prof. Mary Ann Lundteigen has a master in Technical Cybernetics (1993) and a PhD in RAMS (2009) from NTNU. She is employed as full-time professor from January 1 2014 in the department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. In the period from 2014- 2016, she has headed the RAMS group. Now, she is the co-director in the research driven Centre for innovation in subsea production and processing (SUBPRO) (see www.ntnu.edu/subpro). From June 2019, she starts as a full professor in the department of Engineering Cybernetics. Her main research interests cover functional and failure analysis, functional safety, reliability analysis, safe design principles with main application area with safety-instrumented systems (electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems), and the follow-up of safety-instrumented systems in the operational phase. Industry sectors focus on oil and gas sector, process sector, and to some extent railway (signaling). She is also interested in other application areas, like aviation, automotive and maritime sector, as a basis to get inspiration for transfer of knowledge and methods between different industry sectors and industry traditions.
Prof. Yiliu Liu has started his permanent position from 2013 in the RAMS group, Department of Mechanical Engineering, NTNU. His main research areas are barrier analysis, design and assessment of safety-critical systems and product reliability engineering. Dr Liu is an active researcher in the relevant fields, with publishing more than 90 peer‐reviewed papers, most of which in the recent 5 years. He is also serving the academics as the reviewer for more than 20 international journals and the technical committee member for many international conferences. He has rich experience in running international collaborations projects. Since 2013, he has been the manager of several research and education projects with China, Japan, the republic of Korea, Vietnam, Israel, and Algeria. He is also deeply participating in the collaborations between Norway and Brazil, Tanzania, Australia, and USA. In addition, he is the director of international master program of RAMS in NTNU.
