January 2015 Minutes SC 13 Action Items June 2014 Minutes will be distributed via e-mail for approval. No response will be considered an approval. If you were not called as a voting member please contact Brent after the meeting to request voting membership. We discussed the SC 13 social to see if an administrative sponsor will function as OFI Testing Equipment has done for many years which is repaying the specific sponsoring company and billing all the co-sponsors OR return to the format prior to that model where the sponsoring company paid all of the costs and billed co-sponsors individually. Concerning publishing TG/WG test data API requirements are: “You can discuss results, but you can’t publish the procedures or copyrighted material. ” Specification 13 A for Drilling Fluid Materials 18 th Edition Feb 2010. A motion was made by David Breeden and Jim Berger Seconded to request a 5 year reaffirmation. It passed unanimously. Sub-Committee 13

January 2015 Minutes SC 13 Action Items RP 13 D Letter Ballot closes 2/10/15. Should the TG be renamed as Non Aqueous Fluids(NAF) in place of Oil Based Mud (OBM)? Does this have any extended ramifications because NAF is a wider definition than OBM? There was significant discussion that it was reverted back to the TG 3. One solution is to define OBM as all the fluids we are using. USGS has a definition of Non Aqueous Phase Liquid is one that doesn’t easily mix with water. One definition includes invert emulsion drilling fluids. Ad Hoc Committee chilled mirror Hygrometer procedure chaired by Jose Perez. Frank Bi and John Toups need to propose a charge for a SAG WG for June 2015 RP 13 D letter ballot closes 2/10/15 TG 8 Standard Materials Bud Schlemmer took over for Tim Wilkin Sub-Committee 13

January 2015 Minutes SC 13 Action Items Buzz Pike will review the application of GHS requirements for SDS and labels to our standard reference materials. What are the ramifications of having the API logo and or monogram on the SDS and label? And the need to update product in inventory. Why do we have API Reference Bentonite and API Calibration Bentonite if they are the same material? Jim Berger said at one point in history the supply of Reference Bentonite was exhausted. The calibration bentonite was in great supply so it was used for reference bentonite. Carl Stouffer will discuss with Buzz Pike, Jim Berger and Larry Mitchell. We voted to change all references to Reference Bentonite to Calibration Bentonite. Steve Mason will check with SLB librarian. Katie Burkle will check 13 A and 13 I WG 5 Drilling Grade Starch: How can we increase the accuracy of the temperature control of the roller oven? 3 options were presented. The application to all of the heat aging testing in API. WG 6 Density Measurements Propose changes that identifies helium pycnometer procedure as the alternate measurement device for density measurement. Consider including nitrogen as a test gas.
