This document 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.
This document 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.Cross References:ISO 13703:2000ISO 13501:2011API SPEC 16A:2017ISO 15513:2000API 53:1984ISO 14693:2003API RP 2FB:2006ISO 13702:2015IEC 61892-6:2013ISO 19901-3:2014ISO 19901-6:2009ISO 19902:2007ISO 13535:2000ISO 4406:2017ISO 6807:2003ISO 13626:2003ISO 15138:2007D1MAPI RP 14GAPI RP 505API Spec 16DASME B31.3:2016ASME B16.1:2015ISO 19901-5:2016ISO 8503-1:2012ASME B16.10:2009ASME B16.34:2013ISO 10418:2003ISO 19900:2013ISO 9001:2015IEC 529IEC 60079-0:2011ASME B31.1:2016NORSOK D-001:1998 (Rev2)IEC 61892-4:2007IEC 61892-3:2012ISO 12944-4:1998ASME B16.5:2013NFPA 2001:2015API RP 2A-WSDDNV-OS-E 101API Spec 2BNACE RP 0176Incorporates the following:Corrigendum, October 2019
