This is to give examples indicating the value of application. general matters (Clauses 1 to 5 and Clauses 11 to 13, 46 pages), relevant approaches (Clause 6 to 10, 33 pages), typical applications (Clause 14, 56 pages), additional guidance (Annexes A to O, 119 pages...

.... The conclusions from these activities are presented below. Operation manual Operation manuals include information about the ATA system, but normally little specifics related to TAM operation. In such case, a separate document with guidance on ATA controller settings to be used for TAM operations should...

... of an effective Integrity Management System. While guidance to effective integrity management for the more common aspects (structural, process, electrical equipment etc.) found widely on most floating systems is well documented and regulated (such as API-RP-2FSIM [ 1 ], and to increasing extent on mooring systems...

... efficiency, and this has hampered communication among stakeholders and improvement efforts. The new ISO/TS 3250 "Calculation and reporting of production efficiency in the operating phase" has been developed to provide requirements and guidance for calculation and reporting production performance data...

... LCC models The ISO 15663:2021 standard specifies requirements and gives guidance on how to implement and apply the life cycle costing methodology, to provide decision support for selection between alternative competing options and enables strengthening of the industry cost management...

... A review of industry codes shows that, as per API, production riser design is governed by API STD 2RD, [ 5 ] and fixed platform design is governed by API RP 2A. However, API STD 2RD is focused on dynamic risers suspended from floating vessels and does not have guidance on seismic design. API RP...

... Management of Marine Systems in Support of Continued Service Continued service for floaters is a significant industry issue, with many deepwater facilities approaching the end of their original design lives. While work has been completed on integrity management (IM) focused on structural issues, no guidance...

... Abstract Prior to the SCORCH JIP, industry guidance for steel wire ropes specified only a maximum service life for various rope constructions, providing no insight into the corrosion degradation processes affecting mooring ropes at different locations in the mooring line and under different...
