OperatingProcedures

Task

Force

JITF met ~2 weeks in May to develop recommendations for DOI.

Focused on (5) areas:

1. Cementing refer to API RP65 Part 2

2. Loads and Resistance

Lock casing hanger assembly into subsea wellhead when installing casing

Develop deepwater well design considerations (now API RP 96)

3. Fluid Displacement and Negative Testing

Close BOP on pipe & circulate thru choke line to prevent gas entry to riser

Monitor displacement volumes in and out of wellbore

Position shearable components across shear rams

4. Abandonment and Barriers

Recommend two or more independent barriers for each flow path

Verification

5. Adopt Safety Case & develop Well Construction Interface Doc (WCID)
