scope:

The objective for this NORSOK standard is to provide common requirements for well intervention equipment across all exploration and production companies and service companies operating on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The standard defines what is considered typical and ordinary well intervention equipment. New equipment, special operations and operations in certain environments may require additional requirements and specifications. These specific additions are excluded from the standard and should be addressed in the risk assessment of the particular job. The general requirements in chapter 4 and 5 of this standard also apply to well intervention equipment falling outside traditional snubbing, coiled tubing and wireline.
