Full title and description

ISO 10417:2004 — Petroleum and natural gas industries — Subsurface safety valve systems — Design, installation, operation and redress. This International Standard gives requirements and guidance for the configuration, selection, installation, testing, operation, redress and documentation of subsurface safety valve (SSSV) systems and associated downhole production equipment used to prevent uncontrolled well flow.

Abstract

ISO 10417:2004 establishes system-level requirements and recommended practices for both surface‑controlled and subsurface‑controlled subsurface safety valve systems. The standard covers system configuration, equipment selection and handling, installation and commissioning procedures, operational and periodic testing, redress (limited replacement of qualified parts), and required documentation. Repair activities beyond redress are excluded (see ISO 10432). Informative and normative annexes provide a minimum redress report data set and installation guidance.

Scope

Applies to subsurface safety valve systems used in petroleum and natural gas production and defines requirements and guidelines for system configuration, compatibility, selection, handling, installation, commissioning, operation, periodic testing, redress and documentation. It addresses surface‑controlled SSSVs (SCSSV) and subsurface‑controlled SSSVs (SSCSV). The standard expressly excludes repair activities beyond redress; repair requirements are covered by ISO 10432.

Key topics and requirements

• System configuration and compatibility requirements (control systems, control lines, wellhead/tubing interfaces, landing nipples, lock mandrels).
• Equipment selection, receiving inspection, handling, transport and storage to prevent damage or contamination.
• Installation and commissioning procedures, acceptance criteria and pre‑installation functional checks.
• Operational guidance including periodic testing procedures, ESD/closure sequencing and avoidance of automatic resets that could lead to unsafe reopening.
• Definition of redress (limited replacement of qualified parts), limits of redress vs repair, and minimum redress reporting requirements (normative Annex A).
• Requirements for control line filling, control fluid specification, test pressures and verification against expected environmental/pressure conditions.
• Documentation and data‑control requirements (data sheets, operating manuals, receiving and test records).
• Informative installation guidance and examples for single and multiple completions (Annex B) and recommendations for integration with surface safety systems.

Typical use and users

This standard is used by oil and gas operators, completion and production engineers, well‑service contractors, SSSV manufacturers and suppliers, asset integrity and safety engineers, procurement teams, and regulatory/compliance personnel. Typical applications include specification and procurement of SSSV systems, design and installation of well completion systems, development of test and maintenance procedures, redress work scope definition, and post‑incident reviews.

Related standards

Commonly referenced standards and documents include ISO 10432 (SSSV repair requirements), the ISO 13628 series (marine/subsea production and control systems, especially ISO 13628‑6 for completion equipment and control systems guidance), and relevant API recommended practices such as API RP 14B and other API/industry completion and safety publications. National and regional adoptions (EN/BS/other) may exist.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10417:2004 is an international standard that provides requirements and guidance for the design, installation, operation, testing and limited redress of subsurface safety valve systems used in petroleum and natural gas production.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers system configuration and compatibility, equipment selection and handling, installation and commissioning, operational testing, documentation requirements, and the defined limits and reporting for redress of SSSV equipment. It excludes full repairs (see ISO 10432).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Operators, completions and production engineers, well service companies, equipment manufacturers and suppliers, safety and integrity teams, procurement specialists, and regulators use this standard for specifying, installing and maintaining SSSV systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10417:2004 is the second edition published in 2004. Users should check the official standards catalog or their national standards body for any later revisions or confirmations; repair-related activities are covered separately by ISO 10432.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the body of standards for petroleum and natural gas industry equipment managed by ISO/TC 67 and is commonly used alongside ISO 10432 (repair) and the ISO 13628 series (subsea production and completion systems).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Subsurface safety valve, SSSV, surface‑controlled subsurface safety valve, subsurface‑controlled subsurface safety valve, redress, installation, commissioning, testing, well safety, petroleum standards.
