API RP 17P

Description

This recommended practice (RP) addresses specific requirements and recommendations for subsea structures and manifolds, within the frameworks set forth by recognized and accepted industry specifications and standards. As such, it does not supersede or eliminate any requirement imposed by any other industry specification.

This RP covers subsea manifolds and templates used for pressure control in both subsea production of oil and gas, and subsea injection services. Equipment within the scope of this RP includes: production and injection manifolds; modular and integrated single satellite and multi-well templates; subsea processing and subsea boosting stations; flowline riser bases and export riser bases (FRB, ERB); pipeline end manifolds (PLEM); pipeline end terminations (PLET); T- and Y- connections; subsea isolation valve structures (SSIV); subsea controls and distribution structures; and associated protection structures.
