API 17V By Christopher Curran January 2013 API 17V – Subsea Safety API Winter 2013

Context Historically have used API 14C – How many times does API 14C reference “subsea” – “The SSV is optional on subsea installations equipped with USVs.” Ongoing developments led to BSEE developing numerous NTLs: – 2009 – G36 Using alternate compliance in safety systems for subsea production operations – Using secondary recovery methods including gas lift and water flood for subsea production operations – Subsea pumping for production operations API Summer 2011 – BSEE requested API to address the gap 2

API RP17V – Subsea Safety Systems Work group formed Summer 2011 following request from BSEE Closely following and working with API 14C First draft issued to reading group Summer 2012 Targeting second draft end 1H 2013 Target Ballot in 2013 NB API 17O took 5 years, so this is fast track! BSEE have been actively engaged in this work since its inception 3
