Vulnerability Analysis of Harbor Oil Pipeline Affected by Typhoon

The integrity of oil pipelines has received considerable attention. Pipeline leakage accidents cause environmental pollution and casualties. Analysis of accident data in recent years shows that the harbor oil pipeline is prone to natural disasters such as typhoons. The vulnerability analysis of the pipeline was conducted from three perspectives: typhoon grades, windward angles, and operating conditions. The analytic hierarchy is used to build the vulnerability evaluation index system. The vulnerability evaluation score of the pipeline can be calculated by the semi-quantitative method. The results show that the probability of pipeline vulnerability failure increases with the increase of typhoon level, while the change of wind angle has no obvious effect on the pipeline. The full load of the pipeline has a higher evaluation score than that of the empty load, which means the full load is safer. The vulnerability analysis of oil pipelines can effectively improve the safety of pipeline transportation under the influence of typhoons.
