This paper presents an application of deterministic and stochastic Petri nets (DSPN) to evaluate the performance of subsea blowout preventer (BOP) system. The overall subsea BOP system is comprised of five mechanical subsystems and five electrical subsystems, which can be viewed as a series-parallel system. In regard to common cause failures, TimeNET 4.0 toolkit is utilized to develop and analyze the DSPN models. Availability and reliability of the subsea BOP system and its subsystems are obtained. Besides, the effects of failure rate and repair time of each component on system performance are researched.
