Overlap of the Safety Distance of the Gas and Oil Pipeline Network with the Urban Area of the City of Mohammedia Morocco

The overlap between gas and oil pipeline network safety distances and urban areas poses significant risks and potential hazards to public safety and the environment. In the case of the city of Mohammedia, Morocco, where there is a significant concentration of industrial activities, the risk of accidents related to gas and oil pipelines is high due to the proximity of urban areas to the pipelines and its closeness to the oil port, which is considered the largest in Morocco in terms of importing petroleum materials. The problem is determining whether the existing safety distance regulations for gas and oil pipelines are adequate to ensure the safety of the population and the environment in the urban areas of Mohammedia. Therefore, the main problem of this subject is how to assess the adequacy of the existing safety distance regulations for gas and oil pipelines in the urban areas of Mohammedia and develop effective measures to mitigate the risks associated with the overlap of the safety distance of pipelines with the city's urban areas. This article addresses this issue by measuring the safety distance to determine whether an explosion, leak, or fire outbreak will reach the civilian area.
