Bull 2INT-MET Interim Guidance on Hurricane Conditions in the Gulf of Mexico

Presents hurricane-driven metocean conditions (wind, wave, current and surge) for use with and reference by other API standards. These conditions are intended to replace the conditions currently found in API RP 2AWSD.

Since that time, several major severe storms, most notably Opal (1995), Ivan (2004) and Katrina (2005) have affected the Gulf, resulting in increases to local extremes in the areas affected by these storms. Most importantly, however, industrys understanding of hurricane risk has continues to evolve. A new set of hurricane conditions have been derived for reference by other API standards using the latest hindcast storm record and incorporating the industrys best understanding to date of the regional dependence of storm intensity. Conditions are presented for four regions: West, West Central, Central, and East. Pages: 54 1st Edition | May 2007 | Product Number: G2INTMET | Price: $82.00

TR 6AF Technical Report on Capabilities of API Flanges Under Combinations of Load

Presents the results of analysis work done in to establish the load capacity of all flanges give in the April 1986 editions of API 6A and API 6AB. A total of 69 different geometries were analyzed initially. The various loads considered were bolt makeup (preload), internal pressure, tension, and bending moment. All flanges were analyzed with an axisymmetric finite model for each of the four load cases. A post-processor program was written to calculate the maximum moment capacity for various levels of pressure and tension, based on linear superposition of results. Three different criteria were used to establish the maximum moment: ASME Section VIII, Division 2 allowable stress categories for the flange with the basic membrane stress allowable established by API; allowable bolt stresses as established by API; and loss of preload on the ring joint. The results of this post-processing are presented in plots of pressure vs. allowable moment for various tension levels. Limitations to this work include: the effects of transverse shear or torsion were not considered in the analysis; dynamic, fatigue or fretting phenomena were not considered in these results; and thermal stresses or elevated temperature effects were not considered. The charts are intended to be used only as general guidelines for design. These charts are not intended to replace a critical evaluation of any particular connection in an application where the charts show the flange to be marginal.

Where the water to oil ratio is high, freewater knockouts may be required upstream of the treater. The jurisdiction of this specification terminates with each pressure vessel as applicable: the emulsion treater with firetube(s) and, if used, the heat exchanger(s) and water siphon. Pressure vessels covered by this specification are classified as natural resource vessels. An emulsion treater is a pressure vessel used in the oil producing industry for separating oilwater emulsions and gas, and for breaking or resolving emulsified well streams into water and saleable clean oil components. Emulsion treaters are usually equipped with one or more removable firetubes or heat exchange elements through which heat is applied to the water and/or emulsion to aid the emulsion breaking process.

Phone Orders: 1-800-854-7179 (Toll-free: U.S. and Canada) TR 17TR3 An Evaluation of the Risks and Benefits of Penetrations in Subsea Wellheads below the BOP Stack
Provides an evaluation of the risks and benefits of allowing penetrations in subsea wellheads below the blowout preventer (BOP) stack so annuli other than the production tubing (commonly referred to as the A annulus) could be monitored. Current industry standards (API Spec 17D and ISO 13628-4) for the design of subsea wellheads prohibit penetrations below the (BOP) stack. In contrast, US regulations (30 CFR 250.517) require that all annuli be monitored for sustained casing pressure and that every occurrence of sustained casing pressure be reported immediately. The study concludes that the risks outweigh the benefits since the risk of maintaining the pressure barrier using a wellhead with penetrations is approximately 2.5 times that of a system without penetrations. The scope of this study is limited to completed subsea wells in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The risks were evaluated using fault tree analysis for three systems: wellhead system without penetrations, wellhead system with one penetration and wellhead system with two penetrations.

Publ 4709 Risk-Based Methodologies for Evaluating Petroleum Hydrocarbon Impacts at Oil and Natural Gas E&P Sites
The process of calculating human health risk-based screening levels for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) is described in an easy-to-understand question and answer format. (Risk-based screening levels [RBSLs] are chemical-specific concentrations in environmental media that are considered protective of human health.) Risk assessment concepts developed by the EPA, and research groups such as the Petroleum Environmental Research Forum (PERF) and the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Criteria Working Group (TPH-CWG), are used to calculate RBSLs for TPH in crude oil and condensates obtained from around the world. These methodologies were also applied to polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals, and benzene in TPH. Additional resources contained in this manual include a description of the physical and chemical characteristics of crude oil, condensate, and E&P wastes (contrasted with refined products), a summary of the federal regulatory status of E&P wastes, and a listing of key equations used for calculating RBSLs.

Publ 4758 Strategies for Addressing Salt Impacts of Produced Water Releases to Plants, Soil, and Groundwater
The exploration and production (E&P) industry uses great care during the handling and disposal of the produced water that is generated as part of oil and gas production. However, unintentional releases can occur. Depending on the chemical composition of the produced water and the nature of the local environment, salts associated with such releases can impair soils vegetation, and water resources. This guide provides a collection of simple rules of thumb, decision charts, models, and summary information from more detailed guidance manuals to help you address the following assessments and response issues: Will a produced water release cause an unacceptable impact on soils, plants, and/or groundwater In the event of such an impact, what response actions are appropriate and effective Pages: 28 September 2006 | Product Number: I47580 | Price: $67.00

The American Petroleum Institute and the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association jointly developed a new methodology for evaluating the likelihood and consequences of terrorist attacks against refineries and petrochemical facilities. Security Vulnerability Assessment Methodology for Petroleum and Petrochemical Facilities is designed for companies to use in assessing vulnerabilities and potential damages from different kinds of terrorist attacks. In the post September 11 era, companies have reevaluated and enhanced security at their facilities. The methodology will provide officials with a new analytical tool to determine the likelihood of an adversary successfully exploiting vulnerability and the resulting degree of damage or impact. This vulnerability assessment methodology was produced in close collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies.
