Full title and description

ISO 13628-6:2006 — Petroleum and natural gas industries — Design and operation of subsea production systems — Part 6: Subsea production control systems. This part provides design and operational guidance for subsea production control systems, including surface control equipment, subsea-installed control equipment and control fluids for oil and gas production and for subsea injection services.

Abstract

ISO 13628-6:2006 is applicable to the design, fabrication, testing, installation and operation of subsea production control systems. It establishes design standards for systems, subsystems, components and operating fluids to ensure safe and functional control of subsea production equipment. The document contains informative material, mandatory prescriptive requirements, selective prescriptive requirements (type-sensitive) and optional provisions intended for selection by purchaser or vendor. Rework and repair of used equipment are outside its scope.

Scope

Applies to surface control systems, subsea-installed control equipment and control fluids used to operate subsea production and subsea water/gas injection systems. Intended for single- and multiple-well applications where relevant, the standard sets out design, testing, installation and operational provisions while advising purchasers to select only those provisions applicable to their application to avoid overspecification. Rework and repair of used equipment are excluded.

Key topics and requirements

• Architecture and functional overview of subsea production control systems (informative guidance).
• Mandatory prescriptive design requirements for control systems, subsystems and components.
• Selective, type‑sensitive requirements to be applied where relevant (to avoid blanket overspecification).
• Requirements and guidance for control fluids and subsea control umbilical interfaces.
• Testing, fabrication, installation and operational considerations specific to subsea control equipment.
• Guidance on purchaser/vendor selection of optional provisions and avoidance of unnecessary specification.

Typical use and users

Used by subsea systems engineers, control systems designers, equipment vendors and manufacturers, project procurement and specification writers, FPSO/field operators, and regulatory/standards teams involved in subsea production and injection systems. It is referenced when specifying design, testing and acceptance criteria for subsea control equipment and associated fluids.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 13628-6:2006 is an international standard that provided design and operational requirements and guidance for subsea production control systems (surface and subsea control equipment and control fluids).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covered architecture, prescriptive design requirements (both mandatory and selective), optional provisions, testing, fabrication, installation and operational guidance for subsea production control systems; it explicitly excluded rework and repair of used equipment.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Subsea and control systems engineers, equipment vendors and manufacturers, project specifiers and procurement teams, operators and regulatory/standards personnel working on subsea production and injection systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO records the 2006 edition as Withdrawn. National/adopted publications (for example API Spec 17F) have historically mirrored this ISO part; users should check the latest ISO 13628 series parts and applicable national/adopted standards or newer ISO revisions for current requirements before specifying work.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 13628 is a multi‑part series addressing the design and operation of subsea production systems; Part 6 is one component of that series alongside Parts 1–11 (and others) covering wellheads, umbilicals, flexible pipes, ROV/ROT interfaces, risers and related topics.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Subsea production control systems, subsea controls, control fluids, umbilicals, surface control equipment, subsea-installed equipment, subsea production, ISO 13628.
