This standard provides requirements for the installation and testing of blowout prevention equipment systems on land and marine drilling rigs (barge, platform, bottom-supported, and floating). This includes but is not limited to: BOPs (blowout preventers), Choke and kill lines, Choke and manifolds, Control systems, Auxiliary equipment. The primary functions of these systems are to confine well fluids to the wellbore, provide means to add fluid to the wellbore, and allow controlled volumes to be removed from the wellbore.

This standard does not apply to: Diverters, shut-in devices, and rotating head systems, as these systems are designed to safely divert or direct flow rather than to confine fluids to the well bore.

This standard is intended to be used together with API RP 59.

This document provides guidance for managing annular casing pressure on offshore wells of various types to ensure that well integrity is maintained, and risks are managed

This document is meant to be used for existing offshore wells that exhibit annular casing pressure, including thermally induced casing pressure, sustained casing pressure (SCP) and operator-imposed pressure. It contains general information regarding annular casing pressure that is applicable to all offshore well types: fixed platform wells, subsea wells, hybrid wells and mudline suspension wells.

This standard applies to wells drilled in a deep-water environment and is intended to improve the safety of operations and minimize the possibility of loss of well control fluids or damage to the environment in relation to drilling, completions, suspension, production and abandonment.

This recommended practice provides guidance for the structural integrity management (SIM) of existing fixed offshore structures used for drilling, development, production, and storage of hydrocarbons in offshore areas. However, the general principles of SIM apply to any structure.

Specific guidance is provided for the evaluation of structural damage, above and below-and below-water structural inspection, fitness-for-purpose assessment, risk reduction, mitigation planning, and the process of decommissioning.
