Standards and guidelines for

well integrity and well control

Introduction
This reference list includes guidelines, standards and other
documents, produced by both IOGP and other organizations, which
influence practices, equipment selection and equipment specification
related to maintaining well control and well integrity. IOGP recognizes
that different end users will use listed references in different ways.
To that end, this list has been prepared from the viewpoint of aiding
Operating Companies. IOGP recognizes that in recent times API
and ISO have agreed to de-brand joint publications. IOGP does not
advocate a preference for one over the other, but for simplicity has
referenced the document numbers of both institutions but left the
document name to that of ISO.

The standards development process can result in a delay to the

update of related standards, such as an ISO standard based on an API
Specification, and users of this report must satisfy themselves as to
the appropriate version to use.

This Report is provided for guidance only, and users must not rely
upon it as a complete listing of requirements and guidance relating to
well control and well integrity.

ANSI = American National Standards Institute

API = American Petroleum Institute
BSEE = Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement
EI = Energy Institute
IADC = International Association of Drilling Contractors
ISCWSA = Industry Steering Committee on Wellbore Survey Accuracy
ISO = International Standards Organization
NORSOK = Standards Norway
ON = Offshore Norge (formerly Norwegian Oil and Gas Association, NOG)
OEUK = Offshore Energies UK (formerly Oil & Gas UK, OGUK)
