12、m InstituteForewordThis document was prepared with input from oil and gas operators, drilling contractors, service companies, consultants and regulators. It is based mainly on experiences in the United States outer continental shelf (OCS) and deepwater operating areas of the Gulf of Mexico, but may
13、be of utility in other offshore and land operating areas. The content of this document is not all inclusive and not intended to alleviate the need for detailed information found in textbooks, manuals, technical papers, or other documents. The formulation, adoption, and publication of API standards a
14、re not intended to inhibit anyone from using any other practices.A future planned standard, API RP 96, Deepwater Well Design Considerations, will identify considerations for use in deepwater well design. API Std 65-2 has been written to complement the objectives of API RP 90 and API RP 96 and their
15、recommended practices.Shall: As used in a standard, “shall” denotes a minimum requirement in order to conform to the recommended practice.Should: As used in a standard, “should” denotes a recommendation or that which is advised but not required in order to conform to the standard. Informative elemen
16、ts: As used in a standard, “informative” denotes elements that: identify the document, introduce its content and explain its background, development, and its relationship with other documents; or provide additional information intended to assist the understanding or use of the document.Normative ele
17、ments: As used in a standard, “normative” denotes elements that describe the scope of the document, and which set out provisions that are required to implement the standard.Nothing contained in any API publication is to be construed as granting any right, by implication or otherwise, for the manufac
18、ture, sale, or use of any method, apparatus, or product covered by letters patent. Neither should anything contained in the publication be construed as insuring anyone against liability for infringement of letters patent.This document was produced under API standardization procedures that ensure app
19、ropriate notification and participation in the developmental process and is designated as an API standard. Questions concerning the interpretation of the content of this publication or comments and questions concerning the procedures under which this publication was developed should be directed in w
