REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MEETING MINUTES The minutes from the CSOEM/SC8 June 2014 meeting will be reviewed for approval. 3. TASK GROUP REPORTS & DISCUSSIONS A. TG1 Task Group on Drilling and Well Servicing Structures Shawn Firenza API 4F: API 4F, 4th Edition was published January 2013, and is effective August 1, Item 6102: Implementation of AISC 2005 Specification. API funding has been approved to allow Stress Engineering Services Inc. (SES) to investigate current AISC specification and older versions references in API 4F. Proposal is based on

2 structural models being donated for use by SES. A kick off meeting was held on 22-Feb-2012 at Stress Engineering s Houston, Texas facility and a Guidance Group (Steering Committee) was formed at the June 2012 SC8 TG1 meeting. Reports from SES to TG1 in June, 2012 and June, 2013 are published on the API mycommittees website. A 2014 report from SES was presented at the June, 2014 TG1 meeting. Funding was approved to initiate the second phase of work as soon as the first phase final report is issued. Shawn Firenza, Mark Trevithick, and Sathish Ramamoorthy met on February 9th, 2015, to discuss the status. Based on this meeting, the SES phase 1 work scope is complete. Sathish will issue a final report for Phase 1 as well as a proposed scope of work and quote for Phase 2. The phase 2 portion will focus mostly on implementation and methodology. Item 11101: Inclusion of Rig Moving systems in API 4F. Work group was formed with John Ballard chairing same; subsequently, John Poland took over the chair prior to the June 2013 conference. At that conference, TG1 directed the WG to include the initial study of the subject of monogramming and writing a specification for rig movers. At the June 2014 conference, TG1 voted to have the work group complete a draft to the TG1 roster for review and comment, modify the draft based on these comments and issue for Letter Ballot. The work group recommended wording was circulated for comment. Limited feedback was given to John Poland. Based on the feedback, the draft was revised and a letter ballot is being prepared. The current intent is to review the draft during the work group meeting in June and submit for letter ballot after the standards conference. There is a work group meeting planned for Monday 22-June-2015 at this conference. API 4G: API 4G, 4th Edition was published April Item 3101: Revision to API RP 4G regarding requirements for inspection for offshore drilling rigs. Work group was formed with Anthony Mannering chairing same. At the June 2014 conference, wording was presented for excluding from CAT IV inspections certain drilling structures including those of mobile offshore drilling rigs. The approved draft was sent to letter ballot under Ballot #3287. The ballot passed with one negative vote and several comments to be resolved. Current Status is Pending Resolution. Page 2 of 9

3 Item 4101 Consideration in API RP4G for rig moving to locations with conditions different than the original design. A work group chaired by Anthony Mannering presented a draft recommendation for rigs which move to new locations that may have worse design conditions than the originally intended location. The draft was approved to send to letter ballot under Ballot #3288. The ballot passed with three negative votes and several comments to be resolved. Current Status is Pending Resolution. Item Modification of the definition 3.33 for substructure. The intent of this item is to clarify the ability to monogram pony substructures independent from the supported drilling substructure. A revised definition was voted to be sent to letter ballot under Ballot #3289. The ballot passed with no negative votes and one comment. Current Status is passed, but the TG will address the comment. Other Business: No other business at this time. B.

The June 2013 conference minutes for TG2 reported that Mikael Pedersen has taken over the chair of the WG; counter to this, TG2 has reported that Chris Ponzi will retain the chairmanship for this work group with support from Mikael Pedersen. At the June, 2014 conference meeting, Mikael Pedersen presented a draft duringthe TG2 meeting. Item 0202: Coverage of Drawworks versus Drawworks Components. Faisal Yousef chairs this work group. Meetings have been held multiple times during the past year and there is a work group meeting planned to be held at this conference. Item 2202: Hoses used for gas and underbalanced drilling within API 7K. This work group is chaired by Dr. Tibor Nagy. At the June 2014 Conference, the work group met but with limited attendance. There is a working draft that has been updated based on limited comments. This draft includes higher pressure ratings, considerations for hoses for underbalanced and gas drilling, and fire testing. TG2 directed that the new draft be circulated to the TG and the affected licenses holders for comment. These comments would then be incorporated in a new draft that would be sent for letter ballot, but, in fact, the item has not gone to letter ballot. There will be a work group meeting at the conference to discuss latest draft which is expected to go to letter ballot after the conference. Item 3201: Higher Pressure Hoses in API 7K. The work group is chaired by Dr. Tibor Nagy will propose to add higher pressure ratings for 10,000 psi mud hoses and 20,000 psi cement hoses to API 7K Fifth Edition, 2010 section 9.6 Highpressure Mud and Cement Hoses.

8 Item 9501: Hammer Union Specification. Cindy Taff (Shell) and Jason Peart (Shell) are co-chairing this work group. This group has approved API funding for design testing. The work group has actively been developing the draft specification. Based on the analysis done last year, the team reviewed and determined the need to re-run some of the analysis with tighter tolerances (under the same budget as the TG had funds left over). This should be the last phase of the engineering work before finalizing the spec. The TG is targeting to get the technical spec complete and issued in F. TG5 TG6 Task Group to review and make recommendations concerning SC18:TG3 Status Report of 23-Jan-2014 and its potential effects on SC8 licensees - Robert Bo Creek SC18:TG3 was originally charged with the task to develop a definition for a manufacturer ; this scope was expanded to include Have a study conducted and recommendations made on the appropriate licensee classifications which organizations should be qualified per a given specification, i.e., assembler, steel manufacturer, etc. A workgroup meeting was held on March 23, The WG recommended to: a) Delay work on specification changes until results of comment ballot on the SC18 document are reviewed and results communicated. b) The team decided that our first step will be to promote awareness of the upcoming changes and the potential impact on our product specifications. c) Everyone should review the upcoming ballot and provide relevant comments d) Communicate with our interested parties from SC8 to ensure they review the SC18 TR and provide comments. e) When responding to SC18 Technical Report (TR) ballot it is imperative that you include suggested changes or SC18/TG3 will not respond or address the comment/concern. A draft for Katie Burkle to send with SC18 Technical Report (TR) ballot when it is issued for review and comment has been made and sent to her. The next meeting will be held at NOV Houston, TX one month after the comment ballot of the SC18:TG3 draft is issued. G. Report from SC18/MPB Liasion (Shawn Firenza) Page 8 of 9
