ISO 18647:2017给出了海上固定平台上模块化钻机的设计、制造、安装、调试和完整性管理要求。 模块化钻机包括以下部分或全部设备: -钻井设备，包括可通过滑动钻井支撑结构移动的井架/桅杆及其控制装置； -钻井支持设备，包括供电/配电系统等支持设施； -泥浆和水泥储存、搅拌、监测和控制设备。 ISO 18647:2017适用于石油和天然气行业海上结构物上的模块化钻井设备，如下所示: -模块化布置的新设备； -包含在多个模块中的设备，每个模块都可以提升并安装在平台上，但是，设备可以方便地布置在模块内； -海上组装的模块，用于连接和调试； -用于新的固定式海洋结构物上的长期使用； -用于在多个不同的海上平台上临时使用。 ISO 18647:2017不适用于钻井设备 -安装在移动式海上装置上，以及 -主要用于陆上用途。 ISO 18647:2017不适用于与钻井无直接关系的海上平台部件和功能。

ISO 18647:2017 gives requirements for the design, fabrication, installation, commissioning and integrity management of modular drilling rigs on offshore fixed platforms. The modular drilling rig includes some or all of the equipment as follows: - drilling equipment including a derrick/mast and its controls that can be moved by skidding a drilling support structure; - drilling support equipment which includes support facilities such as power supply/distribution system; - mud and cement storage, mixing, monitoring and control equipment. ISO 18647:2017 is applicable to the modular drilling equipment on offshore structures for the petroleum and natural gas industries, as follows: - new equipment arranged in a modularized form; - the equipment contained in several modules, each of which can be lifted and installed on to the platform, however, the equipment may be arranged within the modules as is convenient; - the modules assembled together offshore for hook up and commissioning; - intended for long term use on a new fixed offshore structure; - Intended for temporary use on a number of different offshore platforms. ISO 18647:2017 is not applicable to drilling equipment - installed on mobile offshore units, and - intended primarily for onshore use. ISO 18647:2017 does not apply to those parts and functions of an offshore platform that are not directly related to drilling.
