Due to the compact design of offshore platforms, the oil and gas production facilities are in c.ose proximity to the service and accommodation areas. This demonds that the platform fire detection system must be fast, fully automatic and above all reliable. The bottom line is "You can't walk from a platform." 3.6, Typical of today's combined safety systems is the one being supplied to the Woodside Goodwyn A gas condensate production platform, which forms part of the massive North West Shelf Gas project. off the shore of Western Australia.
