ISO 13628-4:1999 PDF

This part of ISO 13628 specifies subsea copewellhead, conventional mudline wellhead, drill through mudline wellhead, conventional subsea trees and horizontal subsea trees. It also specifies the associated tooling necessary to handle, test and install the equipment. It also specifies the areas of design, material, welding, quality control (including factory acceptance testing), marking, storing and shipping for both individual sub-assemblies (used to build complete subsea tree assemblies) and complete subsea tree assemblies.

Where applicable, this part of ISO 13628 may also be used for equipment on satellite, cluster arrangements and multiple well template applications.

Equipment which is within the scope of this part of ISO 13628 is listed as follows:

• Subsea trees
  • tree connectors and tubing hanger spools;
  • valves, valve blocks, and valve actuators;
  • chokes and choke actuators;
  • bleed, test and isolation valves;
  • TFL wye spool;

Equipment which is beyond the scope of this part of ISO 13628 includes:

• subsea wireline/coiled tubing BOPs;
• workover and production risers;
• control systems and control pods;
• platform tiebacks;
• primary protective structures;
• subsea process equipment;
• subsea manifolding;
• subsea wellhead tools;
• repair and rework;
• multiple well template structures;
• mudline suspension high pressure risers;
• template piping;
• template interfaces.

Equipment definitions are given in clause 3 and equipment use and function are explained in annexes A to F.

Service conditions and product specification levels are given in clause 4.

Critical components are those parts having requirements specified in this part of ISO 13628.
