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 code of practice gives recommendations and guidance on the use of IRATA International rope access methods, including training, to provide a safe system of work. It is intended for use by IRATA International members, IRATA International rope access technicians, national or regional enforcement agencies, safety officers and those who commission rope access work, e.g. building contractors; multi-national oil and gas companies; the renewable energy sector. This code of practice is applicable to the use of IRATA International rope access methods for industrial purposes, i.e. for access to buildings, other structures (on or offshore) or natural features, such as cliff faces, where ropes are used as the primary means of access, egress or support and as the primary means of protection against a fall. This code of practice is not intended to apply to the use of rope-based access methods for leisure activities, arboriculture, general steeplejack methods or emergency personal evacuation systems, or to the use of rope-based access (line rescue) techniques by fire brigades and other emergency services for rescue work or for rescue training. NOTE Throughout this code of practice, the term rope access is intended to mean rope access for industrial purposes, unless otherwise stated.
