API 17O HIPPS

STATUS REPORT

1.  introduction

The API 17O task group’s scope of work is to maintain the recommended practice for High Integrity Pressure Protections Systems (HIPPS) for subsea production systems. This scope has been extended to cover applications for export pipelines in a new sub-committee, it is intended that export pipeline HIPPS will be covered under a different specification.

2.  previous reported status

The RP was published in October 2009.

The latest draft was re-balloted with the ballot closing in May 2012. The ballot passed with 2 negative votes and a total of 73 comments. The document has now been updated with comments incorporated and working to gain agreement with negative voters. Plan to circulate comments or re-ballot 1Q 2013.

5.  MAJOR ISSUES

The Equation 2 of section 9 of the RP has been found to be dimensionally inconsistent. API has contracted the services of a SIS specialist from ABB to review the issue and propose amendments for review by the working group.

Section 9 has been redrafted and reviewed by the working group. All comments received by the November deadline have been reviewed. The revised Section 9 will be submitted to ISO as part of the DIS commenting round.Revised document (mostly section 9 update) was submitted for ballot. A total of 73 comments received.

Total Responses 23

Total Ballots 26

Response Rate 88% (must be > 50%)

Approval Rate 89% (must be > 67%)

CONSENSUS YES

The committee is dividing into a smaller working group with a larger reading group. The working group is planning to meet in June 2012 to review comments and agree changes. These will then be sent to the larger reading group for further comment. Depending on the level of comment the document will then be either re-issued or submitted for a re-ballot.

6.  anticIpAted new work items

Review comments from the ballot and agree changes. Depending on level of changes may require to be re-balloted. None.Working to develop export pipeline annex.

7.  plans for future meetings

8.  Next meeting will be in late June 2012.one

9.  Export pipeline hipps application

There is an ongoing monthly meeting to develop and work on the export pipeline annex. This work is being lead by Brian Perilloux (Williams)

We have developed a mission statement and identified objectives and boundaries for drafting an API standard/RP/specification that will address the necessary system components to enable a subsea pressure class specification break. We are awaiting an official designation (title) from API, but we continue to progress the content of the draft through monthly meetings hosted by Williams Midstream in Houston. The DOI (BOEM) and PHMSA (DOT) have committed to continue their attendance and input during the development of the document. Our goal is to complete a draft during the next year suitable for API review by YE 2012. Brian Perilloux (Williams) will continue to lead the effort with assistance from Mark Cizek (Williams). We expect continuing regular participation by representatives of operating companies, equipment suppliers and the regulatory agencies. However, we have currently postponed the monthly meetings until such time that more representatives from industry and the regulatory agencies can resume attendance. We expect to resume the monthly meeting in the 1st quarter 2012.

When published, this will be a separate document and not part of API 17O.
