API Subcommittee 2 stewards the API Series 2 Recommended Practices and Specification for offshore structures. The Series 2 documents are in the process of realignment. Coupled with several new documents, considerable expansion of key existing RP sections and the impact of recent hurricanes, a considerable change in look, feel and content is underway. The two primary foci for SC 2 consist of providing standards for US waters and leading the US input into the ISO 19900 series of offshore standards.The paper will outline the various components and drivers for the ongoing Subcommittee 2 strategies. These include alignment with the ISO 19900 series (to minimize time and expense of maintaining multiple standards), adjusting to US regulatory changes, incorporating into industry practices the lessons learned from recent hurricanes, while reflecting the effects of the shifts in infrastructure capabilities and industry resources.The history of offshore standards has often been affected by external events. Tropical storms, earthquakes and political unions among others have shaped, and continue to shape, the offshore standards the industry uses today and is developing for the future. As a result of a global strategy developed in the mid-1990's, the API standards are undergoing a comprehensive realignment to better support the broad spectrum of offshore activities and operations in which the industry is engaged today, and is expected to pursue in the future.

“…Select monitoring of motions, forces, and the metocean environment can become an integral part of an integrity plan (20,21). Frequently, once critical elements and the barriers associated with the elements have been identified, monitoring and data assessment can replace costly inservice inspections.…”

The drivers, background, development and deployment of the FSIM process within Chevron will be described. Additionally, the integration into an overall Asset Integrity Managment system will be illustrated. Details as to risk identification and ranking leading to inspection and monitoring programs will be provided as will data management considerations, linkage to work processes, accountability and governce/management systems, etc.Integrity management has been developed and codified for fixed offshore platforms over the past 50 years. As the floating systems mature and experience is gained coupled with the financial impacts of floating systems, there is a growing interest and need for risk management through integrity management systems. This paper will provide the background and drivers for the development of an integrity management program consistent across the enterprise for floating assets in many of the global offshore basins.

Between 2005 and 2010, three major events led to a significant increase in design demands of deepwater field developments in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM):Category 5 hurricanes Katrina and Rita (2005),The Macondo well blowout (2010), andThe development of deeper, tighter, more remote reservoirs These events have resulted in increased metocean criteria, new safety regulations and functional requirements associated with producing deeper, higher pressure and lower porosity reservoirs. This paper will examine and contrast the design impacts on Tension Leg Platform (TLP), Semi-submersible and Spar floating platforms before and after these events. The overall impact of these new requirements on topsides, hull, station-keeping and riser systems of recently sanctioned TLP, Semi-submersible and Spar platforms will be compared with pre-2005 sanctioned platform analogues to demonstrate the resulting impacts on platform size and cost. Increased demands of post-2005 sanctioned GoM floating platforms have resulted in higher deck elevations, greater topsides payload, more robust station-keeping systems and larger hull displacements. Further, the feasibility of proven risers and well systems is challenged by the higher wave induced motions associated with greater design and survival sea-states and high pressure reservoirs. The design impacts of pre- and post-2005 sanctioned TLPs (Mars A, Olympus), Semi-submersibles (Atlantis, Jack St. Malo) and Spars (Tahiti, Lucius) on topsides, hull, station-keeping and riser systems will be compared and differences explained. This paper will enable Operators and platform designers to:Appreciate the magnitude of impact on size and cost of floating platforms of post-2005 requirements,Understand the relative impacts on the three major hull types commonly used for GoM developments, andUpdate analogues and norms used in benchmarking and concept selection
