SC2 - FORWARD FOCUS Long-Term: 2007/2008/2009

Update API RP 2A (New Design of Fixed Structures):

Metocean Data Extracted to Stand Alone API Document Reference New API RP 2SIM Define New Design Criteria

Update API RP 2SK, 2I, 2SM etc.

Update API RP FPS (Floating Production Systems) Update API 4F Specification for Drilling and Well Servicing Structures Link to API RP 2A Issue API RP 2SIM (Existing Fixed Structures)
2007 API Workshop Interim Hurricane Bulletins July 17th (New Orleans); July 19th (Houston)

API RP 2A (22nd Edition) Work On: 1. Extracting MET i.e. 2MET 2. Extracting SIM parts 3. Simplify Metocean Design Interpretation 4. Address Consequence Based Design, L1, L2 and L3 5. Address National Business Case Category, i.e. Major Hubs and
Critical Facilities
