ISO/TC67 Scope

Standardization of the materials, equipment and offshore structures used in the drilling, production, transport by pipelines and processing of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons within the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.

Excluded: aspects of offshore structures subject to IMO requirements (ISO/TC 8).

ISO/TC67 Vision

•Global Standards Used Locally Worldwide

4

ISO/TC67 Goals

• Prepare standards required by the industry• Prepare standards that are adopted worldwide by

bodies such as ABNT (Brazil), API (USA), CEN (Europe), GOST R (Russian Federation), GSO (Gulf Region) and SAC (China)

• Prepare standards that are recognized by regulators• Publish standards that enable companies to minimize

their specifications• Deliver standards to the target dates on the agreed

work programme

Current issues (1)

ISO/TC 67 response after Macondo en Montara incidents (2010):• Identification of short and long term actions (ISO/TC67 document N

1119) – December 2010.• 30 ISO standards under revision (10 high priority)

(Well integrity; Well control including equipment; Cementing; Competence of personnel)

• In close cooperation with others - API, IRF en OGP• Lessons need to be used in the entire world• International standards are an essential tool in this

9

Current issues (2)• Cooperation with API

– “Co-branding” of API and ISO standards is suspended– This affects the post Montara/Macondo work

• Uncertainties about the implications of European and US sanctions regulations on standardisation activities:– Complex matter – different opinions on how the ISO work should be treated– Participation by US and European persons/companies stopped– A temporary solution has been found by executing the technical work for

ISO standards under the umbrella of OGP (see separate presentation)

• This has potentially big negative consequences– 2 overlapping families of standards (ISO and API)
