FOREWORD: Each year in the United States several thousand wells are drilled and completed - some productive of oil or gas and some dry - and during this drilling and completion most of these wells are cased, with the casing set in the bore hole surrounded by oil-well cement. This book has...
Temperature is the single most important variable affecting cement hydration [1]. Therefore, accurate information about temperatures in a well is critical to cementing operations. Many variables affect wellbore temperature, and measurement of temperature during an actual...
The mechanical testing described in this document will provide the necessary cement property data for use in cement sheath integrity simulations. The compressive strength tests and nondestructive sonic determination of compressive strength of cement defined in API 10B-2...
This document provides requirements, guidelines, and recommended practices for stage cementing collars used in cementing applications in the petroleum and natural gas industry. Information is included on the types, application, specification, validation, manufacturing, job planning...
General This recommended practice (RP) addresses the processes required to successfully implement process control systems (PCSs) for oil and gas production, refinery, and petrochemical services. The major topics addressed are listed below. - Part 1. The basic functions that a PCS may need to...
Quarterly Well Completion Report provides detailed information reported drilling activity, as well as estimates of the total number of wells and footage drilled for the current and recent quarters. The estimates of quarterly completions and footage are disaggregated by well type, depth interval,...
This specification provides testing, performance, and marking requirements for casing bow-spring centralizers to be used in oil and natural gas well construction. The procedures provide verification testing for the manufacturer's design, materials, and process specifications, and periodic testing...
This standard defines the requirements for design, mechanical integrity, and sizing of operators and related components used on subsea pipeline valves that conform to API Specification 6DSS. This standard is applicable to the following: ― electric actuators; ― electro-hydraulic actuators; ―...
This specification provides requirements and guidelines for packers and bridge plugs as defined herein for use in the petroleum and natural gas industry. This specification provides requirements for the functional specification and technical specification, including design, design verification and...
This specification identifies requirements for the performance, design, materials, testing, inspection, welding, marking, handling, storing, shipment, and purchasing of surface and subsea choke and kill equipment for use in the petroleum and natural gas industries. These requirements provide for...
General The purpose of this document is to provide owner-operators with practices for developing, implementing, sustaining, and enhancing an investigation program for pressure equipment integrity (PEI) incidents. This recommended practice (RP) describes characteristics of how an effective...
This recommended practice covers the design, maintenance, inspection, and mitigation practices to address external corrosion under insulation (CUI) and corrosion under fireproofing (CUF). The document discusses the external corrosion of carbon and low alloy steels under insulation and fireproofing...
This report documents the results of thermal expansion under load (TEUL) and creep in compression testing conducted by ASTM C832 and DIN 993-9 (same test as ISO 3187). The prime objective for this study is to determine if one or both tests should replace the ASTM C16 method. ASTM C16, modified from...
This document provides subsea capping stack recommended practices for design, manufacture, and use. The document applies to the construction of new subsea capping stacks. The document can aid in generating a basis of design (BOD) document, as well as preservation, transportation, maintenance,...
This recommended practice covers procedures for the closure in place, removal, storage, and off-site disposal of underground storage tank (UST) systems that have contained petroleum liquids. In general, it outlines requirements, procedures, and operating conditions to be followed by contractors,...
General This Recommended Practice (RP) addresses coiled tubing well control equipment assembly and operation as it relates to well control practices. Industry practices for performing well control operations using fluids for hydrostatic pressure balance are not addressed in this RP. This document...
This recommended practice provides design guidelines for the use of non-ferrous materials in subsea intervention systems and components.
Scope and Purpose This recommended practice (RP) is intended to provide guidance on the minimum equipment standards and operating procedures for the receipt, storage blending and delivery of non-aviation light products, their blend components, and additives at distribution and intermediate storage...
