1 FOREWORD
NORSOK (The competitive standing of the Norwegian offshore sector) is the industry initiative to
add value, reduce cost and lead time and remove unnecessary activities in offshore field
developments and operations.
The NORSOK standards are developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry as a part of the
NORSOK initiative and are jointly issued by OLF (The Norwegian Oil Industry Association) and
TBL (The Federation of Norwegian Engineering Industries). NORSOK standards are administered
by NTS (Norwegian Technology Standards Institution).
The purpose of this industry standard is to replace the individual oil company specifications for use
in existing and future petroleum industry developments, subject to the individual company's review
and application.
The NORSOK standards make extensive references to international standards. Where relevant, the
contents of this standard will be used to provide input to the international standardisation process.
Subject to implementation into international standards, this NORSOK standard will be withdrawn.
2 SCOPE
This standard describes functional, performance and operational requirements for well testing
equipment and systems.

5.4 Performance/output
The provided equipment shall be mobilised, installed, commissioned, operated, maintained and
demobilised by competent personnel provided by the contractor.
5.5 Regularity
N/A
All equipment shall be designed for offshore environment with corrosive and salt containing
atmosphere. 100 % relative humidity and surface temperature of -20 to 30ºC.
Vessels designed for, or potentially operated as atmospheric vessels shall be equipped with devices
or designed so that return of air causing an explosive mixture or backfire into the vessel is
prevented.
The interconnecting piping system shall by preference be permanently installed with an effort to
minimise elastomers in the connections. Permanently installed piping shall be covered with grating
where appropriate to provide a safe working environment.
Any water dumped overboard shall contain less that 40ppm of hydrocarbons. Discharged water shall
be sampled and quantity measured.
NORSOK standard 5 of 38
Well testing systems D-SR-007
Rev. 1, January 1996
Burning of hydrocarbons shall take place without pollution to sea. An effort shall be made to
minimise smoke and pollution to air where this is not impairing the burning efficiently.
API 14C shall be used as a guideline to safeguard the surface process equipment. SAFE, SAC and
SAT charts shall be presented.
The main process equipment area shall be equipped with coaming to prevent oil spill from
spreading outside the dedicated area.
Heat radiation calculations shall be presented to Company upon request displaying maximum
exposure at maximum production rate in a worst case scenario.
When the piping installation has a change of pressure rating (spec. break), the lower rated pipe shall
be adequately protected against overpressure. Double isolation valves shall be installed where
practical.
All surface pressure containing piping and vessels shall be mounted in such a manner that blow-
down of the equipment is possible form safe area through a manual activation feature provided by
contractor.
The PSD system shall be electronically operated and monitored form contractors control room.
Permanently installed equipment shall be fitted with ladders, stairways and railing as required for
safe and convenient access for operation and maintenance. The equipment and layout design shall
allow for normal maintenance and service to be carried out between test periods, while hooked up
on the rig.
The equipment necessary for executing the work shall be skid or container mounted to ease
movement and installation.
Equipment permanently installed on deck shall be fastened to deck to withstand a survival state
similar to that of the rig it is installed on. Fastening shall be calculated and documented.
Equipment which is shipped frequently to the offshore installation shall have lifting arrangement
suitably designed to withstand dynamic loads. DnV 2.7-1 is recommended used to comply with the
regulatory requirements.
All test string components shall be so designed that all handling on deck and drill floor can be
performed safely and efficiently.
Downhole test tools shall have a safety factor of minimum 1,1 included when quoting maximum
working pressure at working temperature. (I.e. quoting 15000 psi working pressure shall mean a
calculated maximum design pressure of 16500 psi).
NORSOK standard 6 of 38
Well testing systems D-SR-007
Rev. 1, January 1996
The equipment shall be designed to withstand loads and pressure downhole, including maximum
applied annulus pressure in addition to the specified maximum working pressure for the tool.
Contractor shall make sure that the design load limits of the equipment are known to the operator
and not exceeded during operation. Safety factors for tools employed shall be documented and made
available upon request.
Contractor shall ensure that the maximum permissible deck load is not exceeded and if required,
supply necessary spreader beams below the equipment.
P&ID drawing with valve numbering and component specifications shall be made available.
