General This document provides information for planning, installation, testing, and operation of wells drilled with surface back-pressure (SBP) managed pressure drilling (MPD). This document applies only to drilling rigs with subsea blowout preventers (BOPs). This document addresses...
This document addresses recommended practices for pressurized mud cap drilling (PMCD) from a floating rig with a subsea BOP stack. When massive lost circulation conditions are encountered, PMCD can be implemented to allow well construction operations to continue: Although this document only...
Coverage. This specification covers items of equipment utilized for pressure control systems required during the drilling and production life of a well. Specifically covered are the groups of equipment usually referred to as ring-joint flange., ring joint gaskets, drilling-through and flow line...
This document outlines the standardized test protocol, including data and reporting requirements, for performing sealing and nonsealing blowout preventer (BOP) shear ram performance tests. This protocol determines the parameters that can support field system performance and confidence...
This specification establishes standards of performance and quality for the design, manufacture, and fabrication of marine drilling riser equipment used in conjunction with a subsea blowout preventer (BOP) stack. This specification provides the requirements for the following major...
The purpose of this standard is to provide requirements for the installation and testing of blowout prevention equipment systems on land and marine drilling rigs (barge, platform, bottom-supported, and floating). Well control equipment systems are designed with components that provide...
This document provides information for planning, installation, testing and operation of wells drilled with surface backpressure managed pressure drilling (MPD). This document applies only to drilling rigs with surface blowout preventers (BOPs). This document considers situations where...
This specification defines the requirements for performance, design, materials, testing and inspection, welding, marking, handling, storing, and shipping of drill-through equipment used for drilling for oil and gas. It also defines service conditions in terms of pressure, temperature, and wellbore...
These specifications establish minimum design standards for systems used to control blowout preventers (BOPs) and associated valves that control well pressure during drilling operations. The requirements in this specification apply to the following control system categories: a)...
This document provides the requirements for the design, manufacture, and testing of intervention workover control system (IWOCS) equipment. Blowout prevention (BOP) control systems are outside the scope of this Recommended Practice and typically are not connected to the IWOCS. Some...
This standard specifies requirements for repair and remanufacture of drill-through equipment built under API 16A. This standard also applies to repair and remanufacture of drill-through equipment manufactured to API 6A requirements and produced prior to the existence of API 16A. This standard also...
This specification provides general principles and specifies requirements for design, manufacture, and testing of new drilling and well-servicing equipment and of replacement primary load-carrying components manufactured subsequent to the publication of this specification. This specification is...
API 16Q provides requirements for the design, selection, operation, and maintenance of typical marine riser systems for floating drilling operations from a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) with a subsea blowout preventer (BOP) stack. Its purpose is to serve as a reference for...
Note: The words must, shall or will as used in this document mean a mandatory requirement. Material Description. This standard describes the material and performance requirements of a one component, room temperature vulcanizing (RTV), silicone rubber formed-in-place gasket (FIPG) for use in GM...
This International Standard specifies requirements for performance, design, materials, testing and inspection, welding, marking, handling, storing and shipping of drill-through equipment used for drilling for oil and gas. It also defines service conditions in terms of pressure, temperature and...
This bulletin provides guidance on information that is to be shared regarding well construction and rigspecific operating guidelines. It is intended to align the lease operator's safety and environmental management system (SEMS) with drilling contractor's safe work practices (CSWP). The well...
The complexity of deepwater (DW) operations requires a thorough understanding of well design criteria and associated equipment. This recommended practice (RP) provides engineers a reference for DW well design as well as drilling and completion operations. This RP will also be useful to support...
PURPOSE The purpose of these recommended practices is to provide information that can serve as a guide for installation and testing of blowout prevention equipment systems on land and marine drilling rigs (barge, platform, bottom-supported, and floating). Blowout prevention equipment...
Purpose The purpose of these recommended practices is to provide information that can serve as a guide for planning, installation, operation and testing of underbalanced drilling equipment systems on land and offshore drilling rigs [barge, platform, bottom-supported, and floating with surface...
