1. introduction
The API 17H and API 17M were adopted in 2004 from ISO 13628-8 and ISO 13628-9 respectively. A new work item has been identified to combine the two standards into one new standard titled ISO 13628-13. Comments to the previous release of the standards will need to be incorporated into the next revision.
The API 17H task group, working with an equivalent ISO team, has the scope of work to update and combine the existing API-17H / ISO 13628-8 and API-17M / ISO 13628-9 into a single concise specification.
2. previous reported status
Statoil has setup a FTP web site to allow universal access to all team members. The “strawman” document and other supporting documents have been posted to the site.
An ISO work group and an API task group have been assembled, member names and contacts are listed in section 3.
Several meetings between Erich Luzi and Charles White have been held and a table of contents have been developed. Using the table of contents a “strawman” document has been created for use by both teams. Responsibility for chapters of the “strawman” have been distributed to each team for comment.
The ISO work group has held a few meetings in Europe and the API task group has held seven meetings in Houston, but with poor attendance.
The ISO team has had good participation at meeting but progress has been reduced due to the fact that 3 of the members companies have recently merged. The API meetings have been poorly attended due to competing demands
Updated dual-port hotstab drawings have been obtained and will be incorporated in the new standard. An additional question has been received regarding a correction to the units one of the tables. This has been incorporated in the new standard.
Received the updated document in ISO format from ISO task group. Updated document was distributed to API task group. Held workshop in late may to review status of the document and solicit comments to the latest version of the document. Comments are due by the end of June. We have received one set of comments to date.
3. status
A workshop was held in October to updated the draft document with new figures and final draft text for the “Committee Draft” (CD) ballot. The CD version of the document was forwarded to the ISO task group for final comment. .Comments from the ISO task group were incorporated. The document “CD” version of the documents has been submitted to the ISO secretariat and API liaison. We are currently waiting on comments from the “CD” ballot.
We are still on schedule to release the document mid-2011.
