N2 - Accidents in oil and gas storage and transportation are generated by complex socio-technical factors. Conventional accident models regard the accident evolvement as event chains, which have limitations in analyzing systems with increasing complexity and coupling. Thus accidents in complex systems can be investigated from the viewpoint of system engineering. System-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) is widely used to provide insights into the accident causation and risk prevention. Simultaneously, game theory can be adopted in accident analysis to depict the competition and cooperation relationships between stakeholders. This is due to that the stakeholders in STAMP can be regarded as players in game. This paper provides a new perspective to analyze accidents in the storage and transportation of oil and gas by the integration of STAMP and game theory (i.e., STAMP-Game model), with a case study of the oil spill and explosion accident in Dalian, China on July 16, 2010. The STAMP analysis uncovered the in-depth accident causal factors. Based on STAMP results, game theory was applied to analyze roles that government and companies played in the Dalian accident. Our results demonstrate that the STAMP-Game model is feasible for the causal investigation, risk prevention, and control of accidents in the storage and transportation of oil and gas.
