With the gradual deepening of the development and utilization of oil and gas resources by human beings, oil and gas exploration and development have shifted from the shallow continental shelf to the deep sea, drilling engineering operations must also be carried out in the ocean away from the continental shelf.
In the event of a fire, explosion, leakage or other critical situation on the platform, the personnel on board can escape to the temporary refuge shelter, guarantee the life safety of the personnel in the temporary shelter within a certain period, and organize the person discuss the escape strategy, and gain time to be rescued.

In the event of a fire, explosion, leakage or other critical situation on the platform, the personnel on board can escape to the temporary refuge shelter, guarantee the life safety of the personnel in the temporary shelter within a certain period, and organize the person discuss the escape strategy, and gain time to be rescued.
Features of temporary refuge shelter provided by TLS:
- The positive pressure system is designed to maintain a certain positive pressure in the temporary shelter compared to the outdoor atmosphere during emergency conditions, preventing toxic gases from outside the container from entering the temporary shelter.
- The compressed air is stored in the air bottle in the shelter, which can maintain the breathing needs of all the people who escaped to the temporary shelter on the living platform within a certain period.
- The structure complies with the DNV2.7-1 design, and the thermal insulation and fire protection standards of the shelter are A60 level, ensuring its fire-resistant integrity within 60 minutes.
- The HVAC system should ensure that the heat on the enclose does not exceed the maximum human tolerance, can resist thermal stress, and can last for 60 minutes in an emergency.
- The backup supply can ensure that the emergency power supply can activate the HVAC and lighting systems in the event of a mains power cut.
Offshore oil and gas development is recognized as a high-risk industry in the world. Once an accident occurs, it may cause casualties. Therefore, it is particularly important to ensure the safety of personnel in the process of offshore oil and gas development.
A temporary refuge shelter (TR) is a place for personnel gathering and protection to evacuate, take emergency response measures and wait for rescue in case of fire, explosion and other accidents.

A temporary refuge shelter (TR) is a place for personnel gathering and protection to evacuate, take emergency response measures and wait for rescue in case of fire, explosion and other accidents.
The function of temporary shelter (TR) in case of disaster
- Prevent the invasion of toxic gases for a certain period of time
- Maintain a breathable concentration in the container for 1 hour or longer through the air supply system
- Meet the A60 fire rating
- Provide communication, monitoring and control equipment necessary to ensure personal safety.
Temporary refuge has the double functions as dayroom during normal operation and as Temporary Refuge (TR) in
case of emergency when flammable gas, H2S or explosion occur.
