Object and purpose of research. This paper discusses offshore oil & gas platforms as complex social and technical systems. The purpose is to consider the results of the research on development of recommendations aimed at improving the methodological apparatus for making management decisions to insure the offshore oil & gas field structures safety operations.
Materials and methods. This work followed common methods of theoretical studies and was based on KSRC guidelines, risk management standards, as well as relevant publications, both Russian and foreign.
Main results. Existing methodological recommendations on safety decision-making for offshore oil and gas facilities were systematized. The task of describing the implementation of decision-making methodology intended to ensure safe operation of offshore facilities and their equipment has been successfully accomplished.
Conclusion. Methodological recommendations on decision making suggested in this paper with reference to the operation of offshore oil and gas facilities are intended to improve their safety, as well as to prevent or mitigate their possible accidents (failures) and justify the choice of optimal cost-effective solutions.
