- ISO 13628-1/API RP 17A---Subsea Production Systems
The Task Group had prepared and agreed that two draft Amendments to ISO 13628-1 be circulated for ballot: Clause 6 of ISO 13628-1, "Materials and corrosion protection" and Annex L, “Materials and welding of manifold piping and jumpers".Ballot circulated in October 2008.
H. Reeves volunteered to pick up the chair for API 17A.
b. ISO 13628-11/API RP 17B --- Flexible Pipe, ISO 13628-2/API 17J --- Unbonded Flexible Pipe, ISO 13628-10/API 17K --- Bonded Flexible Pipe, ISO 13628-16/API 17L1 and ISO 13628-17/API RP 17L2 --- Flexible PipeAncillary Equipment
Adopt back of 13628-2 & 13628-11 as API17J and API 17B completed in June 2008
Fundingrequest for development of an Internet Forum on its website was denied for the API 17L Workgroup. E. Baniak reported that this or any other SC17 TG can use API sanctioned SharePoint and Web Meeting at no cost to the TG.
Note: SharePoint availability to workgroups and subcommittees is scheduled to be rolled out by 2Q of 2009.
Note: The CD ballot (3 months) issued 10/13/08 for 13628-16 and 13628-17.
c. ISO 13628-3 (API RP 17C) ---TFL Systems
d. ISO 13628-4 (API 17D) ---Subsea Wellheads and Trees
Comments have been resolved and the second DIS ballot is to be issued.
Note: According to ISO, this is on the critical list of documents. Failure to have an FDIS ready by July 2009 may result in its withdrawal.
e. ISO 13628-5 (API 17E) --- Production Umbilicals
Comments have been resolved and the FDIS ballot will be issued when the updated document is provided to API.
f. ISO 13628-6 (API 17F) --- Production Controls
TG leadership has determined that it is time to begin work on a new revision to 17F.Work will begin on drafting new scope of work for revision. A new structure will be proposed whereby a core controls document will be developed with annexes for each individual component.Next meeting is planned for January 2009.J. Bodine, API Chair, has resigned his chairmanship position. A new API Chair has not been identified.
g. ISO 13628-7 (API RP 17G) --- Completion/Workover Risers
TG is to present a revised document with minor editorial/clerical changes to E. Baniak for errata publication.
A new work item request has been submitted for ISO 13628-7, Revision 3 to be carried out in six parts: four will be lead by the API 17G task group, one by the ISO task group, and one done jointly. Thiseffort is independent of a supplemental work item that corrects published errors in the current revision (Revision 2) of 13628-7.TG is meeting every other month and expects to have a CD available by end of 2008.
h. ISO 13628-13 (API RP 17H) --- ROV Interfaces & ROT Intervention Systems
CD planned for review in late November 2008. The new 17H is not expected to be completed before the end of 2009 (2010 is a more likely date).Motion made and passed to put 17H 17M up for reaffirmation ballot, without comment, to insure that they are not inadvertently withdrawn while document is being formally revised.
Note:Reaffirmation ballot for 17H and 17M issued after the closure of 17N ballot. Also, we have received notification from ISO that 13628-13 is at the “warning” stage.
i. ISO/WD 13628-12 (API RP 2RD) --- Dynamic Risers for Floating Production
A JIP by MCS and DNV to expedite the TG work was kicked off May 7, 2008.The first draft, Revision A, is scheduled to be completed by the end of January 2009.Final draft is planned to be complete April 2009.
Note: This document is being worked in API SC2.
j. API RP 17N---Subsea Reliability and Technical Risk Management
Ballot closed on 10/31/08 with two negatives.
k. API RP 17O--- HIPPS
The working group met in March 2008 to revise and update the draft resulting in several sections being revised. Comments and feedback were received and collated by the end of May. The draft was issued to the working group with a request for comments back by the end of June.Comments will be incorporated and the draft issued to API. Final draft is envisioned to be given to API for ballot and comment in September 2008.Motion made and passed that following receipt of final draft in September that the RP be put out for API ballot and comment.
l. ISO 13628-15 (API RP 17P) ---Templates and Manifolds
Working Draft agreed by TG to proceed to the ISO Central Secretariat in February 2009; draft is anticipated to be approved by the ISO SC for formal ballot in July 2009. Comment was made that 17H & 17Q somewhat overlap with 17P, but without any due conflict.
m. API RP 17Q ---Subsea Qualification
Draft RP is scheduled to be reviewed September 2008; final Draft is scheduled to be reviewed November 2008. Submittal to API for ballot and comment is scheduled for December 2008
n. Flowline Connection Group
C. Redding identified a lingering need to further define requirements for Flowline Connections. However, it was agreed that no work in this area would be initiated until API 17 P was published.
7.Old Business:
- Funding
17D met with J. Fowler to have him review and comment/recommend a position on absolute vs. differential pressure applications in API.
Note: The moneys were approved and permission granted to begin work.
- Work ISO TC67/SC4/WG6 does not have a representative from SC 17.
An action for Leadership Team is to have this representative found and in place by winter meeting.
- Communication Structure that enables E-Field or Integrated Operations - There was SPE Applied Technology Workshop on Subsea Standardization at the in Austin at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort on December 3-4, 2008. This workshop will focused on:
- identifying the value of subsea standardization;
- identifying barriers to implementation of subsea standardization;
- understanding what levels of standardization may be available; and,
- creating a “path of least resistance” to acceptance and use of subsea standardization.
- On-going Issues:
- Absolute vs. Differential Pressure and how to or how not to use in Standards Specifications.
- Pressure Rating Definition - G. Cupier has formed a mini-task group composed of M. Byrd, D. LaCaze, G. Hurta and himself to finalize the task of coming up with a definition of pressure rating. J. McManus is to send him a copy of the work D. Wilkinson did on pressure definitions from various standards.
- HP/HT Equipment Standardization
- Seamless Standards Specifications - Different subsystems are forming their own “life” and not necessarily correlating to existing standards; and often contradicting each other.
- Update on API’s acceptance/rejection of the new ASME Sec 8 Div.2 rules - ASME Sec 8 Div 2 Part 4 utilizes a static review with the same safety factors used before. ASME Sec 8 Div 2 Part 5 requires all reviews to be conducted with FEA.
17D is the only SC17 document that would be affected by the new Div 2 rules: 17D is allowed to use either the old version Part 4 or the new version Part 5 and will refer back to 6A for any comment.
- NWI for a RP for the Avoidance of Blockages in Subsea Production Control and Chemical Injection Systems - NWI presented by J. McManus. It was agreed that J. McManus obtain permission to show JIP write up to selected members of the SC17 team to ensure that SC17 sanctions such an RP (D. LaCaze, T. Dean, M. Byrd and C. Redding volunteered to receive the document in confidence.
- NWIP from ISO on Reliability Modeling - M. Byrd (Chairman), B. Skeels, J. Allen and J.-H. Neuenkirken to form a mini-task group to better define/understand scope to determine SC 17’s interest, as the subject is a system issue that encompasses operations and more subsystems than just subsea.
