Abstract
Among the most advanced concepts in the twenty-first century is systems science. The principles of systems science can be used to describe any large scale and complex systems such as offshore platforms, their design, their management, and their operation. The premise of systems science is that the entire system and the associated organization is a single system operating as a whole and whose parts interact with each other to accomplish a purpose. The purpose of the offshore system is the recovery of petroleum and natural gas (using stringent and proven health, safety, and environmental controls) to meet the world energy needs.
