Chair, ISO/TC67 – “Materials, equipment and offshore structuresfor the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries”

BP – Houston, Group Technology Engineering

Globally Relevant Standards

A Conference on U.S. Leadership in ISO and IEC Technical Committees November 9-10, 2005

Slide 2

Overview

Agenda Overview and relationship of industry TC67 structure Standards for a global industry


Slide 3

Overview and relationship of industry

Upstream and Pipelines Exploration & Development Exploitation Transportation

Downstream → Petrochemicals Refining Plastics Marketing Fabrics raw materials


Slide 4


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


Slide 5


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


Slide 6

Common equipment characteristics

Reliable Interchangeable Compatible Available Safe to workers, community and environment Contain and deliver product with no degradation


Slide 7

Overview



Slide 8

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)


Slide 9

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


Slide 10

P & O Members of TC67


Slide 11

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


Slide 12

Overview



Slide 13

Standards for a global industry Equipment and hardware

Slide 24

Standards for a global industry

Safety and health of workersSafety and health of workers Protection of indigenous populationProtection of indigenous population Preservation of local livelihoodPreservation of local livelihood Capture and transport of productCapture and transport of product Management of waste streamsManagement of waste streams Wide variety of attitudes about oil and gas activityWide variety of attitudes about oil and gas activity


Slide 25

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


Slide 26

TC 67 approach to standards

Motto -

“Global standards used locally, worldwide.”
