The American Petroleum Institute published five recommended practices for the design, construction, and maintenance of offshore structures used in oil and natural gas drilling and production operations.
“ Technological improvements mean offshore resources that were once out of reach can now be tapped, and the guidelines for those who build and maintain offshore platforms must keep pace,” said API Director of Standards David Miller .
One of the documents revises an existing standard, while four are new standards being published for the first time.
