ISO 13624-1:2009涉及用于浮式钻井作业的海洋立管系统的设计，选择，操作和维护。其目的是为设计人员，选择系统组件的人员以及使用和维护本设备的人员提供参考。它依赖于基础工程原理和离岸经营者，承包商和制造商的积累经验。 海洋钻井立管最好视为一个系统。设计师，承包商和操作员必须意识到，以适合该系统整体性能的方式推荐和选择各个组件。为了ISO 13624-1:2009的目的，海洋钻井立管系统包括张紧器系统和上部柔性/球形接头的顶部连接件与井口导体外壳底部之间的所有设备。它特别排除了分流器。此外，ISO 13624-1:2009的适用范围仅限于在海底部署海底BOP堆叠的操作。 ISO 13624-1:2009直接适用于大多数浮动钻井作业，涉及深水钻井和倒塌的特殊情况，以及无导轨钻井和在寒冷天气条件下运行的特殊考虑以及H2S c

ISO 13624-1:2009 pertains to the design, selection, operation and maintenance of marine riser systems for floating drilling operations. Its purpose is to serve as a reference for designers, for those who select system components, and for those who use and maintain this equipment. It relies on basic engineering principles and the accumulated experience of offshore operators, contractors, and manufacturers. The marine drilling riser is best viewed as a system. It is necessary that designers, contractors, and operators realize that the individual components are recommended and selected in a manner suited to the overall performance of that system. For the purposes of ISO 13624-1:2009, a marine drilling riser system includes the tensioner system and all equipment between the top connection of the upper flex/ball joint and the bottom of wellhead conductor outer casing. It specifically excludes the diverter. Also, the applicability of ISO 13624-1:2009 is limited to operations with a subsea BOP stack deployed at the seafloor. ISO 13624-1:2009 is directly applicable to most floating drilling operations, to special situations dealing with deepwater drilling and collapse, to the special considerations required for guidelineless drilling and to operations in cold-weather conditions and H2S considerations. It is important that all riser primary-load-path components addressed in this International Standard be consistent with the load classifications specified in ISO 13625.
