Integration 17 Committee/ISO
Introduction
• Incorporate Integrity Management into
current API 17N …Subsea Reliability and Technical
Risk Management
• Recognize and incorporate integration with
other Industry initiatives
• Incorporate updates based on feedback
from using existing 17N document
• Respond to recent industry experiences
Membership
• Organized into subcommittees
1. Design and Decommission
2. Manufacture, Assembly, SIT, Installation,
Commissioning
3. Operations
4. Technology Qualification
5. Regulations
• Room for additional membership
• Opportunity to Make a Difference

Mandate / Goals
• Add Integrity Management to Current Document
– Incorporate into all existing KPs & Stages from Concept to
Installation / Commissioning
• Add an Operations Stage / Section
• Change Tone from Production to Integrity
– Current tine reflects maximizing production
– Will add Broader Integrity
• Environment, etc.
• Decide on Prescriptive vs. Safety Case
• Ensure Tie-in with other API documents
– i.e. API 17 V
General Progress
• 2010 – 2011
– Storming and forming - Complete
– Gap Analysis – Mostly Complete
– Added Runar Østebø – Statoil & convener of
ISO/TC67 WG4
• 2012 - Planned
–
–
–
–
Define Tone (prescriptive / recommend)
Work the Gaps
Work the Interfaces
Industry Peer Assist Workshop (SURF IM Forum)
Detailed Progress
• Define Scope _
• Define Charter _
• Divide and Conquer…..Regular Subcommittee
meetings
1. Design and Decommission
• New Key Process (KP) for Through Life under development
• Does API want Risk Based or Safety Case Approach?
(Hybrid?)
Detailed Progress
Divide and Conquer – cont.
2. Manufacture, Assembly, SIT, Installation,
Commissioning
• Matrix Developed
• Where & How to test being worked
• Does Verification and Validation need new KP? (Rewrite
KP06?)
• MOC being worked
Detailed Progress
Divide and Conquer – cont.
3. Operations
• Reviewed and Raised issues with existing 12 KPs
• Proposed 3 additional KPs
– Field Modifications
– Inspection and Monitoring
– Remedial Intervention
• Added 3 Processes to “Project Phase Guide to
Processes”
Detailed Progress
Divide and Conquer – cont.
4. Technology Qualification
• New Risks Identified – commercial obsolescence
• Keep integrated as a section in API 17N
• Utilize DNV RP A-203 as much as possible
• Completed Activities
– Received industry feedback on main challenges with Qualifying Technologies
– Strawman created for TQ section
• Activities in Progress
– Drafting started
– Defining the proper use of TRLs
• Path Forward
– Consolidate and review individual sections
Detailed Progress
Divide and Conquer – cont.
5. Regulations
• Managing Committees 1-4 Interfaces
• Will lead Prescriptive vs. Recommend
discussions
• On hold until more definition / decisions from
other committees
Path Forward
• Path Forward
– Continue Subcommittee work
– Outline of Process to use as QA tool
– Common Matrix to combine / review
completed work
– Work the idea of using SURF IM Forum to
discuss with industry and gather additional
input
• Write
• Review
• Ballot – still aiming for year end 2012
Integration
• API 17A, API Q1
• ISO
– 14224 - Collection and exchange of reliability and
maintenance data for equipment
– 20815 - Production assurance and reliability
management
– 15663 - Life Cycle Costing
– TR 12489 - Reliability modeling and calculation of
safety systems
• Review committee draft document
• Feedback 17N specific comments
• DNV RP A203/API RP 17Q?
