Abstract

Growing interest in deep water minerals resources is providing opportunities for both the mining and oil industries. Exploration and production of ocean minerals require synergies between different technologies. In this context appropriate standards are needed to cover both new equipment and existing equipment that may be subject to changed service conditions. This paper covers ABS' experience with related equipment such as deep sea oil and gas, certification of equipment as per existing API requirements, manufacturer's Specifications and Coastal Administration's requirements.
