At Petreltech, we provide expert API 17D consultancy services for organizations implementing or upgrading systems to comply with API 17D - covering gap assessments, design verification, vendor qualification, testing supervision, and full technical documentation.
Our team brings hands-on experience in subsea production system compliance, supporting OEMs, EPC contractors, and offshore operators across greenfield and brownfield projects in deep and ultra-deep water environments.
What is API 17D?
API 17D is a globally recognized standard developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) that provides specifications for the design, manufacturing, testing, and operation of subsea wellhead and tree equipment. This equipment is crucial in offshore oil and gas production, supporting well control, production flow, and safe subsea operations in deep and ultra-deep water environments.
Why is API 17D Necessary?
- Ensures safety and reliability of subsea production systems operating under high pressure and extreme marine conditions.
- Facilitates interoperability between components from different manufacturers and suppliers.
- Reduces risk of equipment failure, environmental damage, and downtime through rigorous design and testing requirements.
- Supports compliance with international offshore drilling regulations and oilfield best practices.
- Enhances asset integrity, long-term performance, and cost efficiency for subsea projects.
