This document provides general principles, requirements and recommendations for the assessment of the stability of thermoset materials that include short fibre filled or particle filled resins and exclude continuous fibre reinforced composites for service in equipment used in oil and gas exploration and production environments. This document also provides guidance for quality assurance. It supplements but does not replace, the material requirements given in the appropriate design codes, standards or regulations. This document addresses the resistance of thermosets to the deterioration in properties that can be caused by physical or chemical interaction with produced and injected oil and gas-field media, and with chemical treatment. Interaction with sunlight and ionizing radiation are excluded from the scope of this document. This document is not necessarily suitable for application to equipment used in refining or downstream processes and equipment. The equipment considered includes, but is not limited to, non-metallic pipelines, piping, liners, seals, gaskets and washers. Applications for short term exposure include pump-down plugs, bridge plug components, line wiper plugs, balls, setting tools and fracking tools. Applications for long term exposure include bearings and washers. This document excludes tubular products, tanks and similar items produced from continuous fibre reinforced materials. Blistering by rapid gas decompression is not included in the scope of this document. This document applies to the assessment of the stability of non-metallic materials in simulated hydrocarbon production conditions to aid the selection of materials for equipment designed and constructed using conventional design criteria. Designs utilizing other criteria are excluded from its scope.

This document covers the normal and emergency vapor venting requirements for aboveground liquid petroleum or petroleum products storage tanks and aboveground and underground refrigerated storage tanks designed for operation at pressures from full vacuum through 103,4 kPa (ga) (15 psig). Discussed in this document are: — causes of overpressure and vacuum; — determination of venting requirements; — means of venting; — selection and installation of venting devices; — testing and marking of relief devices. This document is intended for tanks containing petroleum and petroleum products, but it can also be applied to tanks containing other liquids; however, it is necessary to use sound engineering analysis and judgment whenever this standard is applied to other liquids. This document does not apply to external floating-roof tanks. It however does apply to tanks equipped with an internal floating cover/roof.

This document gives requirements and recommendations for the qualification and design, installation, testing and integrity management for the external application of composite repair systems to corroded or damaged pipework and pipelines, tanks and vessels used in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.

This part of ISO 15136 provides requirements for the design, design verification and validation, manufacturing and data control, performance ratings, functional evaluation, repair, handling and storage of progressing cavity pumps for use in artificial lift in the petroleum and natural gas industry. This part of ISO 15136 is applicable to those products meeting the definition of progressing cavity pumps (PCP) included herein. Connections to the drive string and tubulars are not covered by this part of ISO 15136. This part of ISO 15136 includes normative annexes that establish requirements for characterization and testing of stator elastomer material, design validation and functional evaluation. Additionally, informative annexes provide information for PCP elastomer selection and testing, installation, start-up and operation guidelines, equipment selection and application guidelines, functional specification form, used pump evaluation, drive string selection and use, repair and reconditioning procedures and auxiliary equipment. Equipment not covered by the requirements of this part of ISO 15136 includes bottom-drive systems except for the PCP components, drive-string components and auxiliary equipment such as tag bars, gas separators and torque anchors. These items might or might not be covered by other International Standards. Surface- drive systems are covered in ISO 15136-2.

This document provides descriptions of the different types of pipe provers, otherwise known as displacement provers, currently in use. These include sphere (ball) provers and piston provers operating in unidirectional and bidirectional forms. It applies to provers operated in conventional, reduced volume, and small volume modes.

This document gives guidelines for:

—  the design of pipe provers of each type;

—  the calibration methods;

—  the installation and use of pipe provers of each type;

—  the interaction between pipe provers and different types of flowmeters;

—  the calculations used to derive the volumes of liquid measured (see Annex A);

—  the expected acceptance criteria for fiscal and custody transfer applications, given as guidance for both the calibration of pipe provers and when proving flowmeters (see Annex C).

This document is applicable to the use of pipe provers for crude oils and light hydrocarbon products which are liquid at ambient conditions. The principles apply across applications for a wider range of liquids, including water. The principles also apply for low vapour pressure, chilled and cryogenic products, however use with these products can require additional guidance.
