1 Scope
This document specifies the overall requirements, identification and grading, and safety management requirements for population - intensive high - consequence areas of onshore oil and gas long - distance transmission pipelines.
This document applies to the identification and management of population - intensive high - consequence areas for onshore oil (including crude oil, refined oil, and liquefied petroleum gas) and natural gas (including natural gas, coal - bed methane, and coal - based natural gas) long - distance transmission pipelines.
This document does not apply to station - internal process pipelines, urban gas pipelines, oil and gas field gathering pipelines, aviation fuel pipelines within airports, and oil and gas pipelines between and within petrochemical enterprises and oil depots.

3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1
Population - Intensive High - Consequence Areas (PIHCAs)
Regions with high population density where a pipeline accident may result in a large number of casualties.
3.2
Pipeline Companies
Enterprises that use pipelines as a means of transporting oil and gas resources to storage facilities or user units, and have ownership or operational management rights over the pipelines.
3.3
Quantitative Risk Assessment
A systematic method for quantitatively analyzing the frequency and consequences of accidents in oil and gas long - distance transmission pipelines and comparing them with acceptable risk standards.
3.4
Protected Objects
Facilities or places that may suffer casualties due to accidents in oil and gas long - distance transmission pipelines.

4 General Requirements
4.1 Pipeline companies should implement full - life - cycle safety management for pipeline sections in population - intensive high - consequence areas, conduct risk analysis at stages such as project feasibility studies, design, construction, operation, shutdown, abandonment, and decommissioning, and develop effective risk control measures based on the results of risk analysis.
4.2 During the operation period of oil and gas long - distance transmission pipelines, population - intensive high - consequence areas should be identified periodically, with the longest interval not exceeding 18 months. When changes occur in the pipeline or its surrounding environment, the information on high - consequence areas should be updated in a timely manner.
4.3 Risk control measures should be developed and implemented in a standardized manner based on the results of identification and grading of population - intensive high - consequence areas.
4.4 The data information for newly added population - intensive high - consequence areas of oil and gas long - distance transmission pipelines should comply with the requirements of GB/T 38710-2020, Section 9.6.
4.5 Pipeline companies should pay attention to the development and planning changes in the areas through which the pipeline passes and update the information on population - intensive high - consequence areas in a timely manner. When planning and construction of facilities around the pipeline are sufficient to form new population - intensive high - consequence areas or cause the grade of existing population - intensive high - consequence areas to increase, pipeline companies and construction units of facilities around the pipeline should conduct risk assessments and develop corresponding control measures based on the assessment results.
5 Identification and Grading of Population - Intensive High - Consequence Areas
5.1 Basis for Identification and Grading
5.1.1 Pipeline companies should conduct identification and grading of population - intensive high - consequence areas based on the distribution of personnel, buildings, roads, public facilities, etc., in the affected areas.
5.1.2 Population - intensive high - consequence areas are divided into three levels based on severity, with Level I representing the lowest severity and Level III representing the highest severity.
5.2 Identification and Grading of Population - Intensive High - Consequence Areas for Oil Pipelines
5.2.1 Areas through which oil pipelines pass and meet any item in Table 1 are classified as population - intensive high - consequence areas.
