Selection Method of Operational and Maintenance of Flaring Facility by Using BCOR Factor and Multicriteria Decision-Making Analysis (MCDM)
Abstract
The AHP (as one of the Multi-criteria Decision Making) methods with BCOR (Benefit, Cost, Opportunity and Risk) approach can overcome the difficulties in making decision with multi-criteria for selecting the best operation and maintenance flaring facility effort in the petroleum industry, by considering technical, safety, environment, economy (in the situation where the production keep on the decline and the fluctuation of oil price), applicable regulation both in Indonesia and in the world and also the new initiative from World Bank related with environmental protection and air pollution prevention, which is Zero Flaring initiative in 2030. In this paper, by using the AHP model structure that formed by 5 layers, consist of Goal, Factor (BCOR), Criteria (there are 11 criteria), Sub-Criteria (there are 31 criteria), and Alternatives (1. Flare the gas to nearest flaring facility or 2. Repair the flaring facility). The flaring facility owner in PT. CPI can decide with confidence the best alternative for their operation and maintenance of flaring facility effort to be implemented at the field, based on the analysis results obtained from the AHP method and the BCOR approach by using Super Decision, the highest consideration is based on the highest global BCOR weight is a benefit, followed by risk and the third is cost, and the last one is opportunity. The benefit weight becomes the highest consideration since compliance to safety and environment include in the benefit criteria, besides the optimization of operation and maintenance for safety in design. This is by following per under the value and vision of PT. CPI “To be the global energy company most admired for its people, partnership and performance” From the AHP analysis with the BOCR factor, the best alternative is to flare the gas to the nearest flaring facility.
