3 Drivers for API to Perform this Work: New product technology without significant industry experience Challenging physical and environmental conditions of new E&P developments, beyond the limits of traditional industry standards. Advanced design and analysis capabilities. Industry commitment to the technical integrity and HSE associated with industry challenges. Availability of significant historical experience and lessons-learned: 1980’s: 30,000 psi wellhead and Xmas tree equipment 1990’s: 300+ deg. F wellhead and Xmas tree equipment 2000’s: Advanced design analysis capabilities and design codes

15 Roadmap and next steps The committee will identify the functional requirements of the components in HP/HT environment and select the component product to be designed, the design and development verified (6 HP work) and the design and development validated (FEMA’s by TPEE) for use in the HP/HT environment. The product will be developed using current best practices. API subcommittee responsible for the component products requiring development verification and validation to meet HP/HT environments, will undertake: −A suitable design and development verification process like 6 HP. −FMEA on the component products using the methodology outlined including a review of the methodology and how it can be applied to the component products of the subcommittee; −a detailed evaluation of the development validation to meet HP/HT environments including identifing additional or unnecessary requirements associated with the committee’s specific products; −the development of the subcommittee plan to validate any amended methodology on one or more of the subcommittee’s products.
