API RP 17L

API RP 17L is a technical standard developed by the American Petroleum Institute that provides guidelines for designing and building offshore safety systems, specifically blowout preventers and associated equipment. These safety systems are crucial for controlling unexpected surges of oil or gas during drilling operations at sea, preventing accidents and environmental spills. The standard ensures equipment meets high safety, reliability, and performance criteria, helping to protect workers and the environment while maintaining efficient offshore drilling practices.
