From page 114...
... Panel 2 focused on the quality of the bolts, specifically what material is least susceptible to HE, how important manufacturing processes are for reducing risk, the importance of studying and sharing near failures, and how the number of variables increases the challenges of creating and meeting standards. Panel 3 featured industry representatives who discussed in greater depth how subsea bolts' performance is assessed and how their reliability might be improved.

From page 115...
... Many participants pointed to a need for more research to address uncertainties and pin down the specific material, environmental, and operational factors that contribute to critical bolt failure. For example, it is unclear how changing environmental conditions as drilling goes into deeper and more extreme environments might affect bolt reliability.
