Facility Types
This covers the kinds of installations functional safety work actually lands on. Not hull shapes or mooring choices, but facilities that each carry their own process equipment and their own safety architecture. What separates one from the next is what the process does and what has to protect it. Right now the set is drawn from oil, gas, and midstream. Chemical and biogas facility types are on the list to add, so this category is not upstream-only.
