API Releases Standards For Offshore Structures

摘要

The American Petroleum Institute has released 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 once were out of reach now can be tapped, and the guidelines for those who build and maintain offshore platforms must keep pace," says David Miller, API director of standards. "API continuously revises existing standards and develops new ones because innovation and change are constant features of our industry."
