2014 BSEE Standards Forum - API 2GEN Presentation - January 28, 2014
Status
Group Formed December 1, 2010
Developed Fundamental TG Objectives
Discussions on what 2GEN should contain
Assessing present API Practice (review/audits)
Practices are similar in intent but different in
application (nomenclature)
Understanding differences between 2GEN and
ISO 19900

Develop 2 Gen API/ISO Alignment
General Requirements for Offshore
Structures
Fixed
Floating

2014 BSEE Standards Forum - API 2GEN Presentation - January 28, 2014
2GEN Fundamental Objectives
Create a framework for the functional documents to
address
Create consistency among all functional documents residing below 2GEN
Clarify Categorization and Design Criteria of Facilities
Manned / Unmanned
Operational / Shut In
Restricted / Unrestricted
Economic
Clarify expectations on performance
Ensure consistency between floating and fixed structures
Point to same type of checks (i.e. life safety, robustness, etc)
Logic needs to work on both
Performance Levels / Limit States
Provide guidance and discussion around design

Summary
Multiple Design Objectives many hidden in design practice
Consequence Based Criteria (CBC) simple in 1992, broad moving forward
Need to Partition Design Conditions
Life Safety, Environmental, Economics/Headline
Not Lumping Into Single H, M, L
Explicit consideration
Load Recurrence
Acceptance conditions
Express as Return Period and Acceptance
High Level Consistency
Implementation in Specific Documents
Address Design and Assessment
Simpler Assessment In the Future
