Don Wells Hess Corporation API 17N Subsea Production System Reliability, Integrity, and Technical Risk Management Don Wells Hess Corporation

History See Summer Minutes

Status Worked 17N / 17Q relationship Agreed to Combine the Two “Existing Q” is now integrated Agreed a “New Q” was required And it will be incorporated into a separate document API 17N – Introduce TQ Process TR (Technical Report) – Qualification 1st step towards next revision of 17N

Why API 17N was due for revision We need to finish the incorporation of IM Obvious that “Q” will grow and should eventually be incorporated into 17N TR would allow a more reactive process by requiring less “Bureaucracy” Need seen to be able to update the two subjects at different paces

Plan API 17N to API by NOW! TOC of TR at 1st Draft Reform Working SubCommittee for TR 17N / 17Q / Other Interested Parties Finalize TOC Write Document TOC finished by TBD Additional Requirements TBD Funds Resources

Issues Greater guidance on qualification testing Incorporate input from others TR8 – HPHT API 17X – Machinery API 17A – Being Changed, Added to, etc All other APIs…………. Software is a recognized GAP

Reminder API 17N will include Integrity Management Details reported in the past Incorporate “Q” Documentation Process - PQS TRL & links to Status – Project & Equipment Qualification Process – recognizes A-203 How to address “Technical Changes”
