Globally Relevant Standards Conference on U.S. Leadership in ISO and IEC Technical Committees Presented by Cheryl Stark Chair, ISO/TC67 – “Materials, equipment and offshore structures for the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries” BP – Houston, Group Technology Engineering
Overview • Agenda • Overview and relationship of industry • TC67 structure • Standards for a global industry
Overview and relationship of industry • Upstream and Pipelines • Exploration & Development • Exploitation • Transportation • Downstream → Petrochemicals • Refining Plastics • Marketing Fabrics raw materials
Overview and relationship of industry • Upstream and pipelines • Predominantly in remote or less populated areas • Over 130 countries for exploration & production • Globally diverse with wide temperature and terrain variability • Must be able to move product to downstream • Downstream and petrochemical • Predominantly in temperature regions • Urban or near urban areas • Land-based with government restrictions
Overview and relationship of industry • Upstream and pipelines • Usually considered mobile (pipelines are stationary) • Various suppliers in global market • Parts must be compatible and interchangeable • Exposed to climate extremes • Downstream and petrochemical • Refineries, plants, and processing facilities • Fixed structures, not frequently moved • Repair or replacement parts are of necessity
Common equipment characteristics • Reliable • Interchangeable • Compatible • Available • Safe to workers, community and environment • Contain and deliver product with no degradation
Overview • Agenda • Overview and relationship of industry • TC67 structure • Standards for a global industry
TC 67 structure • “Material, equipment and offshore structures for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, excluding ships and marine operations (ISO/TC8)” • 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 regulations (ISO/TC 8)
TC67 structure • Twenty-six “P”articipating members • Twenty-five “O”bserving members • Six subcommittees • Five TC working groups • Management committee • Joint working groups with five TCs • Estimated project members – over 1000
TC 67 structure • 161 items on work program • 111 published to date • Average 15 standards published annually • Average 10-12 new work items annually • Augment current standards • New technology • Five year review
Overview • Agenda • Overview and relationship of industry • TC67 structure • Standards for a global industry
Standards for a global industry • Equipment and hardware • Casing, tubing, and drill strings • Blow-out preventer and production equipment • Subsurface and downhole equipment • Piping and pipelines • Offshore structures • Fluids • Valves and compressors • Informational • Corrosion resistant alloys • Life cycle analysis • Reliability and measurement • Quality management
Standards for a global industry • Safety and health of workers • Protection of indigenous population • Preservation of local livelihood • Capture and transport of product • Management of waste streams • Wide variety of attitudes about oil and gas activity
Urban, land-based, marine, environmental and health concerns
Standards and product service levels • 15156-series – Materials for H2S environments • 14310 – Downhole equipment – packer and bridge plugs • 19906 – Arctic offshore structures • 3183 – Steel for pipelines • 13709/13710 – Centrifugal and reciprocating positive displacement pumps • 10423 – Drilling and production equipment - Wellhead and Christmas trees
Standards for a global industry • Safety and health of workers • Protection of indigenous population • Preservation of local livelihood • Capture and transport of product • Management of waste streams • Wide variety of attitudes about oil and gas activity
TC67 approach to standards • Global utility – World Trade Organization • Buy and trade from one area to another • Interchangeable parts • Compatible and fit for purpose • HSSE factors • Local utility • Product service levels • Multiple choice designs • Government restrictions/acceptance
Motto - “Global standards used locally, worldwide.” TC 67 approach to standards
