Firenza
TG1 2015 June Conference meeting minutes were approved.
API 4F: API 4F, 4th Edition was published January 2013, and is effective August 1, 2013.
Item 6102: Implementation of AISC 2005 Specification.
Marcus McCoo has agreed to chair this work group going forward.
At the June 2016 Conference, the Workgroup met and Marcus McCoo presented
the current status of the SES (Stress Engineering Services) Phase II study.
Within the WG, there is still quite a bit of concern about the load factors being used
in the LRFD methodology. The WG discussed whether to allow both Allowable
Strength Design and LRFD, or that the standard should only allow for one
methodology. SES clarified why they are focused on LRFD instead of ASD to
complete the current study. The Stress engineering report (Phase IIA) will be
reviewed once published and a path forward will be determined.
{Note by SC8 chair: the Phase II study originally budgeted by SES was split into
two separate funding requests. The first request (labeled as Phase IIA for clarity) for
fiscal year 2015 was approved and contracted and is expected to complete in July
2016. The second request (labeled as Phase IIB for clarity) for funding in 2016 has
been submitted and approved, but contract has not been let yet. SC8 chair will work
with API staff to seek approval for funding. The work scope under this request
includes the completion of work on models 2 and 5.}
Ongoing agenda item.
Item 11101: Inclusion of Rig Moving systems in API 4F. .
At the June 2016 Conference, the work group met to review and revise the suggested
wording for the Annex. Anthony Mannering agreed to chair the work group with
support from Sean Duncan. During the work group meeting it was determined that
we need to define Rig Moving to allow us to exclude rig moving load cases from the
1/3 increase. New verbiage was developed and recommended for presentation to
TG1 for a possible ballot.
TG1 reviewed and discussed the draft. The TG agreed with the current proposal for
the definition of Rig Moving and the revisions to 8.1.2. Further work is required in
B.7.1 to adequately distinguish between rig moving and transportation. TG1
approved sending the draft back to the WG for further work.

Item 1402: Wire Rope design factors for setting Blowout Preventers (BOPs).
Mikael Pederson is the chair of this WG.
At the June 2016 Conference, Mikael Pederson presented to TG4 regarding WG
progress. No meetings were held this year but correspondence was held via phone
and email. There has not been much feedback to facilitate progress for this work
item. The WG is looking for more volunteers from the operators group.
Andrew Roskey suggested raising the design factors for all wire rope usage. After
discussion, TG4 adopted a motion to modify the scope of the work item to include
review of design factors for all wire rope addressed in API 9B in addition to the
original scope for setting BOP’s with the main hoist. Mikael Pederson agreed to
continue as chair of this WG under the new scope. A number of additional persons
were added to the WG.
SC8 discussed the expanded work scope and concluded that expanding this work
item greatly increases the audience for this subject, and TG4 should solicit input and
assistance beyond current volunteers. Katie Burkle offered to facilitate drafting and
soliciting other committees for input. Robert Urbanowski suggested contacting
IADC for contractor input; Rhett Winter with IADC volunteered to solicit support
within IADC.

SC18:TG3 was originally charged with the task to “develop a definition for a
manufacturer”; this scope was expanded to include “Have a study conducted and
recommendations made on the appropriate licensee classifications which
organizations should be qualified per a given specification, i.e., assembler, steel
manufacturer, etc.”
At the June 2015 conference, the task group’s work was presented. SC8 directed
TG6 to develop a draft of minimum manufacturing requirements for one SC8
specification; spec 8C was selected and a new work item opened in TG3. The work
product was sent to letter ballot. Ballot 3737 was issued, passed and comment
resolution begun when the SC18 initiative was suspended and TG3 put the ballot
resolution on hold.

As discussed in the above TG reports.
9. RESEARCH FUNDING – Report by Katie Burkle (API Staff)
SC8 TG1 has a current funded project with Stress Engineering (SES) underway (phase
2, first part of item 6102).
SC8 noted the request from API to delay funding for new projects unless it is a safety or
critical issue. At this stage the July report from SES should include the type 2 rig mast,
but the type 5 may not be included and may require additional funding for completeness
of this work item. Funds for the completion of phase 2 budgeted for 2016 ($40,000)
have been approved, but the contract has not been released. The SC8 chair agreed to
bring up this issue at the CSOEM funding meeting on 6/30/16 and at the CSOEM
regular meeting on 7/1/16. A new contract needs to be resolved with Stress.
Discussion was held regarding a request for funding to perform:
Mapping of sections 4 thru 8 of 8C vs 7K (40%),
Making recommendations (50%) to TG2 and TG3 chairs regarding consistency
of requirements, and
Working with TG2 and TG3 on specification changes (10%);
A notional budget of 10K was proposed.
SC8 chair recommends that Mark Sibille would be an excellent choice for the
work. The person will report to the TG2 and TG3 chairs.
Motion by: Robert Urbanowski
Seconded by: Faisal Yousef
Motion:
Request API funding of 10,000 to assist in mapping,
recommending and expediting specification revisions to align
requirements of 7K and 8C.
Decision: Passed unanimously
10. OTHER NEW BUSINESS
SC 20 is developing standards for critical components which will affect how we qualify
critical components such as castings for example. Katie Burkle agreed to send to the
SC8 chair a summary of all SC 20 work items and work item scopes for distribution to
SC 8 through the my committees website. It was suggested that a number of these specs
be reviewed as personal research, especially for those that may be of value to SC 8, for a
decision on how to leverage these specs in the future.
Page 17 of 17
CSOEM/SC8 June 2016 Meeting Minutes
SC21 had its first meeting earlier this year. Their charge is to review material-related
issues that affect the industry. The SC scope can be accessed in the API MyCommittees
website.
A concern was expressed by that there is no specification for drawworks braking
components, which are arguably some of the most important components in drilling
operations, for brake manufacturers to abide by. Several types of brakes should be
considered. It was expressed that it would be good to get feedback from DNV and brake
manufacturers.
Motion by: Faisal Yousef
Seconded by: Robert Urbanowski
Motion: TG2 shall direct its Drawworks WG to consider requirements for
brakes use in Drawworks duty and to draft a NWI as appropriate.
Decision: Passed unanimously
