Description

API Bulletin 16H – Automated Safety Instrumented Systems for Onshore Blowout Preventer Actuation, First Edition

This bulletin provides a review of the equipment and interfaces to be considered for the automation of a blowout preventer to place the well in a safe state in an onshore environment. It also provides an overview of components that can be considered for future research into
developing an automated well control actuation system. These technologies, once fully developed and implemented, can help automate and expand ways to mitigate unexpected events resulting in a loss of primary well control.

Developing automated safety instrumented systems to bring the blowout preventer to a safe state using emerging technologies like automated systems has the potential to transform and empower the natural gas and oil exploration and production community by improving operational safety and reducing potential fugitive emissions.
