TABLE B.1
| Task | Report Statement of Task | Report Chapter(s) and Section(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Task 1 | Assessment of the critical drill-through equipment fastener systems and the appropriateness of materials and coatings selected for incorporation into fasteners, for optimal performance for subsea environment operating conditions. The assessment should address the following questions and issues: | |
| Task 1.1 | Are existing industry best practices and BSEE regulations adequate enough to ensure that fasteners will perform satisfactorily in the subsea conditions under which they are expected to be used? | Chapter 2, Fastener Design Appendix J, Safety Factors for Flange Bolts Chapter 3, Regulatory Considerations and Other Industry Practices Chapter 4, Gaps in US Human System Integration in the Oil and Gas Industry |
| Task 1.2 | What additional steps should be taken to improve the development and implementation of best practices and regulations governing fastener performance for critical drill-through equipment for subsea applications? | Chapter 2, Fastener Design Chapter 2, Fastener Life Cycle Chapter 3, Fastener Standards and Specifications Chapter 3, Quality Assurance Options Chapter 4, Human Systems Integration and Fasteners Appendix J |
| Task 1.3 | What are the best techniques and practices to address the design, load, fatigue loading, material properties (YS, UTS, elongation, hardness) requirements, coating selection, cathodic protection, QA/QC, quality management systems (QMS) oversight of subcontracted vendor manufacturing process issues (procurement-forging, manufacturing, heat treatment, coating processes, etc.), fastener failure type and failure reporting, and failure analysis techniques for use in managing fastener use and quality? | Chapter 2, entire chapter Chapter 3, entire chapter Appendix J |
| Task 1.4 | Options for optimal material specifications for inclusion in relevant industry standards for future use and implementation of fasteners used for subsea oil and gas applications. | Chapter 2, Options for Improving the Selection of Bolting Material Properties Chapter 3, Fastener Standards and Specifications |
| Task 1.5 | Identification of best practices from other industries like refinery, both onshore and offshore, aerospace, aviation, nuclear industry, military, naval (submarine and ship), pipeline, and automotive. | Chapter 3, Regulatory Considerations and Other Industry Practices Chapter 4, Human Systems Integration in other Industries and Countries |
| Task 1.6 | Risk Assessment timelines and protocols for replacing existing in-service sub-sea fasteners (e.g. replace all offshore bolts of concern based on risk, age, etc.). | Chapter 2, Fastener Life Cycle Appendix J, Safety Factors for Flange Bolts |

| Task | Report Statement of Task | Report Chapter(s) and Section(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Task 1.7 | Data collection needs: who collects the failure data; when is the failure data collected; when, to whom and how is the failure data reported? | Chapter 2, Fastener Life Cycle Chapter 5, Testing Protocol |
| Task 2 | Design issues and human-systems interaction factors. This analysis will not be limited to the technical components but will also encompass the entire system and bolt lifecycle (design, procurement, manufacturing, installation, maintenance, commissioning, and operation), including the human components. Specific emphasis will be placed on the management of the manufacturing process from the first tier OEM down through the second, third, fourth, etc., sub tier subcontractors. | Chapter 2, Fastener Life Cycle Chapter 4, entire chapter |
| Task 3.1 | Options on improving safety of offshore drilling and pipeline operations as related to the use of fasteners for critical drill through equipment components like the lower marine riser package (LMRP) (connector) and pipeline fasteners. | Chapter 2, Fastener Life Cycle Chapter 3, Fastener Standards and Specifications |
| Task 3.2 | Identify options for reducing or eliminating the identified gaps for fastener manufacture, and provide valuable insight on how/if alternative fastener designs are capable of improving safety of offshore drilling and pipeline operations. | Chapter 2, Fastener Life Cycle Chapter 5, New Fastener Designs Chapter 5, Coating Technologies |
| Task 3.3 | Options on the methodology for the selection for material properties (such as hardness, yield, UTS, etc.), and other critical parameters identified by the industry standards or codes, in accordance with the subsea bolt application and operating environment | Chapter 2, Options for Improving the Selection of Bolting Material Properties |
| Task 3.4 | Options encompassing the use of both domestic and international standards and regulations that are in place today on fasteners to BSEE on how to proceed or how the existing industry standards should be modified to address project findings, or how BSEE should structure a 30 CFR 250 regulation to require these conditions should be met. | Chapter 2, Fastener Design Chapter 3, Fastener Standards and Specifications Chapter 3, Quality Assurance Options Appendix J |
| Task 4 | Evaluation of the performance of fastener systems currently in use including the process of manufacturing (e.g. smelting, casting, drawing, heat treatment, coatings, mechanical/material properties, performance properties-shear stress, fatigue life, etc.), corrosion protection (cathodic protection) installation (e.g., torqueing), maintenance and inspection processes associated with fastener systems. | Chapter 2, entire chapter Chapter 4, Human Systems Integration and Fasteners Chapter 4, Human Interactions with Subsea Fasteners Appendix J |
