IOGP The International Oil and Gas Producers’ Association has released IOGP Report 485 covering standards and guidelines for well integrity and control, a reference list of standards and other documents from IOGP and other organizations. The publication sets out to help operators in the face of the ‘de-branding’ of joint API/ISO publications which in some cases has ‘resulted in a delay to the update of related standards, such as an ISO standard based on an API Specification’. Caveat users.
IOGP has also released Report 624-02-01, on the calibration and verification of offshore surface survey and positioning systems. The reports covers the Online survey and positioning system, Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), Attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) and Inertial navigation systems (INS). It is intended to be included in contract documentation throughout the offshore energy industry, including relevant renewables activities.
IOGP Report 456 v2 is a Recommended Practice on Key Safety Performance Indicators .
NIST has revised its Guide to Operational Technology as Publication SP 800-82, Revision 3. The Guide covers OT security while addressing their ‘unique performance, reliability, and safety requirements’. Rev 3 provides an overview of OT and typical system topologies, identifies typical threats to organizational mission and business functions supported by OT, describes typical vulnerabilities in OT and provides recommended security safeguards and countermeasures to manage the associated risks. The new edition also addresses scope expansion from ICS to OT.
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has adopted TrainingDML-AI, a data markup language for artificial intelligence. TrainingDML-AI Standard Part 1 defines a conceptual model for standardizing any data used to train, validate and test machine learning models that involve location or time.
OGC has also released an API for environmental data retrieval V1.1 as an official standard. API–EDR provides a web interface to access a subset of a large dataset. The new standard is part of the OGC API family that sets out to ‘make the world’s location information FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable’.
PIDX has published implementation guidelines to its Bill of Lading standard for the downstream market. PIDX BOL is a technology-agnostic format that is used worldwide to replace dozens of legacy formats that use outdated or missing information. More from PIDX.
PIDX has also released its Industrial Data Exchange (IDX) specification, an API-driven platform for the exchange of PIDX downstream product codes as used in the PIDX Bill of Lading (BOL) protocol. PIDX member DocStudio has contributed its API-based platform to support the IDX service.
The Society of Exploration Geophysicists has released SEG-Y 2.1, an update of its seismic data exchange standard. The latest version includes a new survey type field, corrections and clarifications in format description text and a new stanza for an XML-formatted trace header layout, contributed by Troika. The SEG Technical Standards Committee strongly encourages producers and users of SEG-Y data sets to move to the revised standard in an expeditious fashion.
The Open Group Open Trusted Technology Forum (OTTF) has published Version 1.2 of the Open Trusted Technology Provider Standard (O-TTPS). The OTTF was founded in 2010 to provide guidelines for manufacturing, sourcing, and integrating trusted, secure technologies. Version 1.2 contains minor clarifications, refinements, and improvements to the existing requirements and the addition of several new requirements. This ensures that the standard incorporates current best practices for providers of COTS ICT to mitigate the risk of maliciously tainted and counterfeit products. The Open Group is now working to update the O-TTPS certification program to align with the latest version.
The 7th World Geothermal Congress (WGC2023), hosted by China Petrochemical Corp. (Sinopec Group), has ‘released’ the world’s first geothermal industry standards. The standard leverages China’s geothermal practices as a reference to ‘formulate a sustainable utilization and development model of the whole life-cycle of geothermal energy and provides a comprehensive reference of technical standards for the global geothermal industry’. Apart from the release we could find no location for the actual standard. We did find the US NREL standard for geothermal. So China’s may not be a world first.
