2 c. The group has 35 members. Contributions have been received from several persons who do not appear on the list of members. ii. Per Ragnar Dahl gave formal report on -1 (API 17A) 1. The joint API SC17 and ISO TC67/SC4/WG6 meeting agreed to create a Materials task group to develop the material requirements in the ISO13628 suite of standards. A draft for an official Amendment to ISO Clause 6, Materials and corrosion protection is now available together with a proposal for a new Annex L "Materials and welding of subsea manifolds". This proposal was launched as a NWIP, and approved February as proposed Draft International Standard (DIS). 2. A majority of the comments raised during the NWIP ballot are being implemented into the new DIS proposal by the Material task group secretariat. The remaining comments will require further discussion. The authors of these comments and other interested from the Materials task group are therefore invited to a meeting June 19 for discussing these items. The meeting will tentatively be held at FMC Technologies offices in Houston. 3. DIS ballot for the Amendment may be sent ISO CS August 2007 and start October-November. 4. Motion made and passed for API SC17 to recommend that ISO move forward the DIS ballot for the Amendment to the ISO Secretariat in August 2007 for a start October/November Part 1 is the main subsea production systems standard and it needs to be regularly maintained. During the last revision process some comments were left for later considerations. These comments were suffixed with noted in the commentary report. 6. Craig Redding to propose a systems diagram illustrating where the breaks are and reasons why with any and all TG s. 7. Luiz Souza, API Chair for 17A has submitted his resignation of the post due to company commitments. We need a volunteer to pick up the chair of 17A. b. ISO /API RP 17B, ISO /API 17J & ISO /API 17K Flexible Pipe and API RP 17L Ancillary Equipment for Flexible Pipe i. The formal report was given by Krassimir Doynov. ii. Ongoing ISO FDIS vote will close on July-31, Only editorial changes resulting from the FDIS vote will be incorporated. ISO is expected to be published around September/October Minutes - API C2/SC 17 & ISO/TC67/SC4/WG6 Page 2 of 8 June 27, 2007

3 iii. There was some confusion regarding the adopt back process to API 17J and API 17B: a) Per MOM of API-ISO meeting in Atlanta, 2006 motion was passed SC17 to initiate adopt back immediately for in parallel with ISO when FDIS is completed. a. Motion made and passed to adopt back the soon to be published FDIS as the new version of RP 17B. b) Per MOM of API-ISO meeting in Houston, 2007 motion was passed SC17 to initiate API 17J adopt back from in parallel with ISO when FDIS is completed. a. Motion made and passed to adopt back the published as the new version of API 17J. Since -2 was published in 2006, while -11 will be published in 2007, a) and b) should be reversed. iv. The Ancillary Equipment JIP is completed. The JIP manager MCS submitted draft proposal for API Specification 17L1 to API/ISO FPTG Chair on 6/18/2007. The draft proposal for API Recommended Practice 17L2 was submitted on 6/22/ Proposal presented for NWI for API Specification on ancillary equipment on flexible pipes (L1) as a DIS. 2. Motion made and passed for API to take the working drafts proposed from the JIP as L1 (Spec) & L2 (RP) as API Specification and API RP but hold off balloting until the companion ISO document is put forward. 3. Motion to request ISO to issue a NWI for documents to encompass the work items on ancillary equipment and to bypass CD and go direct to DIS. v. The Flexible Pipe Technology JIP, whose purpose is the next revision of the ISO /-11 and API 17 J/B standards within the 2008/2009 timeframe is still ongoing. vi. Suggestion was made for the establishment of an Internet Forum (Combined API/ISO) or renting MCS Internet Forum space. c. ISO (API 17C) ---TFL Systems (Attachment D) i. The formal report was given by Harold Reeves. ii. No comments or suggestions for changes, improvements, or updating have been received by the Project Leader. The project leader has contacted the members of the Task Group and none of these has received any comments for changes or suggestions for improvement from those currently using the document. iii. The standard was reaffirmed in 2005 by SC17 ballot. Next affirmation will be required in d. ISO (API 17D) ---Subsea Wellheads and Trees (Attachment E) i. The formal report was given by Ross Fraser and Brian Skeels. ii. Voting on the DIS closed 28 Feb Of the 19 members voting, 18 returned ballots. Of those, five abstained and all others Minutes - API C2/SC 17 & ISO/TC67/SC4/WG6 Page 3 of 8 June 27, 2007

4 approved the DIS. Five of the approving members returned numerous comments. (1/4 editorial and 3/4 technical) Review of those comments has begun. iii. The first gathering of the review group will be Thursday, 28 June Subsequent to that, the 17D/ chairs (Ross Frazer & Brian Skeels) will circulate the results of that effort to the full task group. A poll will be taken of that population to determine if the DIS can proceed to the next stage with the approved comments. iv. HPHT Surveillance update given by Brian Skeels. Group seems to be on track and will be a work in-process for some time. v. Question asked as to which revision of ASME VIII Div 2 will 17D use and comment made that the new document will be referenced. vi. Annex M has found a home in RP 17N and will no longer be pursued in 17D. vii. Annex L on connector qualifications will be re-incorporated for the next DIS revision. Manufacturers/end users must state/determine all performance characteristics are there i.e. to ensure they are fit for purpose. New comments may be brought forward in the meeting on June 28 th which may have been omitted when Annex L was to be removed from 17D. e. ISO (API 17E) --- Production Umbilicals i. The formal report was given by John McManus. ii. A final merged draft, API TG & DNV JIP, was reviewed by ISO for editorial correctness and submitted back to API in Washington early May API will return completed document to ISO by end June 2007 for DIS publication. iii. DIS is expected to be published August / September iv. The TG will meet next to reconcile comments to the DIS. f. ISO (API 17F) --- Production Controls i. The formal report was given by John Bodine. ii. API 17F published June iii. Future considerations may be for work on IWOCS (17G), competition workover risers, subsea distribution, etc. iv. Consideration may be given to have different levels of safety for critical and non-critical service items. v. TG is now a sunset team. g. ISO (API 17 G) --- Completion/Workover Risers i. The formal report was given by Brian Skeels. ii. A work request for support to be directed to API 17F TG for possible help. Ginny Stover, BP, has volunteered to provide a scope of work to the 17F TG outlining areas soliciting their support. iii. Still waiting to convene and prepare necessary NWI after reviewing Alex Sas-Jaworski s reports. iv. Further discussion on barrier philosophy resulted in suggestion that the TG to not wait on other documents, but to rather jump start the Minutes - API C2/SC 17 & ISO/TC67/SC4/WG6 Page 4 of 8 June 27, 2007

5 process and propose what the TG deems should be in the document.

John Allen and Mark Siegmund gave detailed look of current status of the proposed document. (See Above). iv. Materials 1. Proposal in January by OGP to put together a composite document on materials based on NORSOK 001. All Subcommittee chairman were requested to comment. SC 17 voted no with a lot of comments. U.S. TAG voted No, but we understand the ballot passed the ISO requirements for approval, so we believe the US will be appointing one or more experts. v. Subsea Controls 1. John Bodine discussed methodology for simplifying subsea controls system system/circuit 1 for critical and system/circuit 2 for non-critical. 2. What is necessary to keep production flowing should have high safety levels. Others, functions for information only, for example, with lower safety levels 3. Question asked Is there anything in the control system that is really not critical? Answer, possibly, reservoir data sometimes is not really critical to production. 9. Actions Items were reviewed and updated during the course of the meeting. 10. Upcoming Meetings a. SC 17 Winter 2008 will remain in Houston and not be part of the API Winter Meetings in Fort Worth; b. Summer June API Annual Summer Standardization Conference in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
