API 17 V Subsea Safety June 2013 API
API 17 V – Subsea Safety June 2013 API 17 V By Christopher Curran January 2013
Context • Historically have used API 14 C – How many times does API 14 C reference “subsea” – “The SSV is optional on subsea installations equipped with USVs. ” • Ongoing developments led to BSEE developing numerous NTLs: – 2009 – G 36 Using alternate compliance in safety systems for subsea production operations – Using secondary recovery methods including gas lift and water flood for subsea production operations – Subsea pumping for production operations • API Summer 2011 – BSEE requested API to address the gap 2
API RP 17 V – Subsea Safety Systems • Work group formed Summer 2011 following request from BSEE • Closely following and working with API 14 C • First draft issued to reading group Summer 2012 • Targeting second draft end 1 H 2013 • Target Ballot in 2013 • NB API 17 O took 5 years, so this is fast track! • BSEE have been actively engaged in this work since its inception 3
API 17 V – Areas to be covered • • • Production and Injection trees Flowlines Chemical injection Manifolds Subsea separation Subsea boosting Subsea compression Gas lift HIPPS 4
