Dear Karthinew,
I can assist you in identifying the relevant engineering standards, academic books etc related to safety at Gas Fields, etc, but it may take a little time to sift the information and compile it for use.
Also to avoid any superfluous references, your query is somewhat general, you need to be more specific. You have titled your problem as "Instrument Safety in Onshore Gas wells," but also included dispersion studies. Please note that dispersion studies do not fall under Instrument domain, they are Process Engineering responsibility, normally carried out for Risk Assessment due to Classified Hazard Areas, and an Instrument Engineer is part of the team, but only provides logistic support, on the subject of Dispersion studies.
a) Are you assigned Instrument/Electrical Safety or are you part of the HSEQ Team?
b) Is your work related to Maintenance or Project Engineering?
c) Do you have access to Engineering Resources in terms of Engineering Standards etc? or your company can purchase them. My list will contain references to such Standards, the list will be useless if you dont have access to Engineering Resources.
d) Usually your company references and keeps Engineering Standards from North America or Europe?
e) Are you familiar with (NEC) National Electrical Code, and used it for Instrument/Electrical Safety?
f) Has your company formulated, developed SOPs for Safety?.

Your reply will help me in helping you.
