API Std 17F – Specification for Subsea Production Control Systems, Fourth Edition, Includes Errata 1 (2018) and Errata 2 (2019)

Please note. Any addenda or errata may not be included in translated editions of this standard.

This standard is applicable to design, fabrication, testing, installation, and operation of subsea production control systems. 17F covers surface control system equipment, subsea-installed control system equipment, and control fluids. This equipment is utilized to control subsea production of oil and gas and for subsea water and gas injection services. Where applicable, this standard may be used for equipment on multiple-well applications.

This document establishes design standards for systems, subsystems, components, and operating fluids in order to provide for the safe and functional control of subsea production equipment. It contains various types of information related to subsea production control systems that includes: informative data that provide an overview of the architecture and general functionality of control systems for the purpose of introduction and information; basic prescriptive data that shall be adhered to by all types of control systems; selective prescriptive data that are control-system-type sensitive and shall be adhered to only when they are relevant; and optional data or requirements that need be adopted only when considered necessary either by the purchaser or the vendor.

Rework and repair of used equipment are beyond the scope of this standard.
