Abstract

This comprehensive review examines the dangers of hydrocarbon exploration, extraction, and processing and the need for a resilient emergency response framework in the oil and gas sector. Effective emergency response methods are crucial to preventing accidents in oil and gas operations, which include complex infrastructures and volatile materials. Examination of international and regional rules and industry-specific standards shows the complex link between regulatory mandates and industry norms. In emergency response, strong regulatory frameworks are crucial. Oil and gas project risk management includes identification, evaluation, response, and control, as described in the methodology. Effective project management requires regular monitoring, evaluating, and cohesive reference frames. The review thoroughly examines oil and gas emergency response and risk management issues.

Keywords: Emergency Response Framework; Risk Management Practices; Regulatory Frameworks
