9 Overall Progress/Requests for Approval from ISO/TC 67

Please see attached spread sheet for overall progress of the SC4 work programme. This information will be updated at the TC 67 Plenary Meeting.

In addition, SC4 took two resolutions in Aberdeen that require TC confirmation. Neither involve changes in scope of approved work projects, just splitting of projects and updated timelines. These are as follows:

Resolution 3 (Scotland, 1999)

ISO/TC67/SC4 accepts the proposal from WG4 to split project 17078 into three parts as follows: Part 1 - Side Pocket Mandrels; Part 2 - Side Pocket Mandrel Gas Lift Valves & Flow Control Devices; and Part 3 - Latches, Seals, & Interface Data for Side Project Mandrels and Flow Control Devices. The timelines for the three parts are as follows: Part 1 - WD at 1999-05, CD at 2001-05, DIS at 2002-03, and FDIS at 2003-01, Part 2 - WD at 1999-11, CD at 2001-05, DIS at 2002-03, and FDIS at 2003-01, and Part 3 - WD at 2000-03, CD at 2001-05, DIS at 2002-03, and FDIS at 2003-01.

Resolution 4 (Scotland, 1999)

ISO/TC67/SC4 accepts the proposal from WG4 to split project 15136 into two parts as follows: Part 1 - Pumps; Part 2 - Drive Heads. The timelines for the two parts are as follows: Part 1 - CD at 1999-5, DIS at 2000-03, and FDIS at 2001-01 and Part 2 - WD at 2000-2, CD at 2001-02, DIS at 2001-12, and FDIS at 2002-10.

In addition, while SC4 understands the need for adequate project management at the ISO CS level, it objects to the automatic cancellation of actively worked projects and took the following resolution in regards to TM resolution #55:

Resolution 11 (Scotland, 1999)

ISO/TC67/SC4 objects to the automatic cancellation of project 10424 per ISO TMB Resolution 55/98 and hereby requests its Secretariat to request ISO/CS reinstate the project at the current work item status. ISO/SC4 requests WG1 continue working on project 10424.
