ABS Plaza 16855 Northchase Drive Houston, TX 77060 USA Foreword Foreword Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) techniques have proven to be cost-effective, reliable, and safe when drilling difficult onshore wells as well as when drilling from mobile offshore drilling units (MODU) w

3、ith a surface BOP. MPD is now widely being used as an enabling method in drilling increasingly complex and challenging offshore wells from MODUs with subsea BOPs. As the leading global provider of offshore classification services, ABS is deeply involved in the safe and reliable use of MPD technology

4、 in global shallow-water and floating rig applications through design verification and validation. ABS has worked closely with the drilling industry to develop this Guide that specifies the classification and certification requirements for MPD systems, subsystems and equipment. This Guide is intende

5、d to be used in conjunction with the ABS Guide for the Classification of Drilling Systems (CDS Guide), other applicable ABS Rules and Guides, codes and standards as referenced therein, and applicable national regulations. For ABS classed drilling units that are in compliance with this Guide, the opt

6、ional MPD and MPD-Ready class notations are offered. These notations are offered to drilling units that may or may not be classed with any of ABS CDS notations and sub-notations for the associated drilling systems. ABS also offers certification services for MPD systems, subsystems, equipment and/or

7、components provided that the applicable requirements in this Guide are fulfilled. Certification can be provided for drilling units classed with ABS as well as for non-ABS classed units. This Guide becomes effective on the first day of the month of publication. Users are advised to check periodically

8、 on the ABS website www.eagle.org to verify that this version of this Guide is the most current. We welcome your feedback.

18、 for conditions of Classification and Certification are contained in the ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1). Additional requirements specific to managed pressure drilling (MPD) systems are contained in this Guide. This Guide is intended to be used in co

19、njunction with the ABS Guide for the Classification of Drilling Systems (CDS Guide). The requirements contained herein and the referenced requirements from the CDS Guide are both to be met for classification and certification of MPD systems. For ABS classed drilling units that are in compliance with

20、 this Guide, the optional MPD and MPD-Ready class notations are offered. These notations are offered to drilling units that may or may not be classed with any of ABS CDS notations and sub-notations for the associated drilling systems. ABS also offers certification services for MPD systems, subsystem

21、s, equipment and/or components provided that the applicable requirements in this Guide are fulfilled. Certification can be provided for drilling units classed with ABS as well as for non-ABS classed units. 3 Scope The focus of this Guide is on MPD systems utilizing a Rotating Control Device (RCD) an

22、d a surface choke system to create surface back-pressure, and those that maintain a Controlled Mud Level (CML). Section 3, Table 1, lists the MPD systems, subsystems and equipment that may be classed/certified using this Guide. For subsystems and equipment of MPD systems not listed, the client is to

23、 contact the appropriate ABS technical office for guidance on the approval process. 5 Classification and Class Notations Two optional class notations related to MPD systems (MPD and MPD-Ready) are available for ABS classed drilling units provided the classification requirements in Sections 2 and 3,

24、as applicable, are complied with. 5.1 MPD Systems Where classification of an installed MPD systems is requested by the Owner/Operator, the MPD system may be classed and distinguished in the ABS Record by the notation null MPD, where approved by the Committee for service under the specified design en

25、vironmental conditions. 5.3 “MPD-Ready” Systems The notation null MPD-Ready is available where MPD operations are anticipated however operationally-essential MPD equipment is not physically present. “MPD-Ready” means that a rig, usually a floating MODU, is pre-fitted with provisions (e.g., general p

26、iping and tie-in points pre-installed) to deploy a MPD system. When an MPD system is installed on a “MPD-Ready” rig, the Record may be distinguished accordingly from “MPD-Ready” to “MPD”, where classification of this system is requested by the Owner/Operator and thereafter approved by the Committee.

27、 ABSGUIDE FOR CLASSIFICATION AND CERTIFICATION OF MANAGED PRESSURE DRILLING SYSTEMS .2017 1 Section 1 General 5.5 Systems Not Built Under Survey The symbol “null” (Maltese-Cross) signifies that the system was reviewed, built, installed and commissioned to the satisfaction of ABS. MPD systems, sub-sy

28、stems, or equipment that have not been built under ABS survey, but which are submitted for Classification, will be subjected to special consideration. Where found satisfactory and thereafter approved by the Committee, they may be classed and distinguished in the Record by the notation described abov

29、e, but the symbol “null” signifying survey during construction will be omitted. 7 Certification Upon request of the Owner/Operator or Designer/Manufacturer, and where permitted by the recognized Authority, ABS will issue Certificates for MPD systems, subsystems, equipment and/or components provided

30、that the requirements in this Guide are fulfilled. Where authorized by a government agency and upon request of the Owner/Operator, ABS will survey and certify a classed MPD system or one intended to be classed for compliance with particular regulations of that government on their behalf. Certificati

31、on can be provided for drilling units classed with ABS as well as for non-ABS classed units. All the requirements in this Guide are applicable to certification except those in Subsection 3/7, “Survey after Commissioning”. 9 Certification and Classification Process Section 1, Figure 1 shows the typic

32、al process for ABS Certification of MPD systems, subsystems, equipment and components and the way forward to Classification of MPD systems. Section 3, Table 1 identifies the typical MPD systems, subsystems and equipment that are part of the ABS Classification/Certification process. For MPD systems,

33、subsystems, equipment and/or components not listed, the designer/manufacturer is to contact the appropriate ABS Technical office for guidance on the approval process. For the MPD-Ready notation, the scope is only for the pre-fitted provisions on the rig, therefore, the process of “ABS Survey at Vend

34、ors Plant” in Section 1, Figure 1 may not apply. Detailed ABS Classification and Certification process for drilling systems, subsystem, equipment, and/or components is contained in Section 4 of the CDS Guide. A brief summary of the process is provided below. 9.1 Certification Process i) Related MPD

35、systems, subsystems, equipment and component drawings, calculations and documentation are required to be submitted to ABS by entities as listed in Subsection 1/19 to substantiate that the design of the systems, subsystems, equipment and/or components are in compliance with this Guide, and applicable

36、 codes or standards, as listed in this Guide. ii) Upon satisfactory completion of ABS review of design documents, ABS Engineers will issue an ABS review letter and/or an Independent Review Certificate (IRC), as specified in Section 3, Table 1. This letter or IRC, in conjunction with ABS-approved doc

37、umentation, will be used and referenced during surveys. iii) Upon satisfactory completion of survey, ABS Surveyors will issue appropriate survey reports and/or a Certificate of Conformity (CoC). 9.3 Classification Process In addition to items i) through iii) above, and upon satisfactory completion o

38、f all of the required engineering design review and survey processes (inspection, testing, installation and commissioning), ABS may issue a Classification Certificate to the drilling unit, including the Class notation as listed in Subsection 1/5. 2 ABSGUIDE FOR CLASSIFICATION AND CERTIFICATION OF MA
