The requirement relating to collection implies, inter alia, that data that could indicate a possible well control incident, are monitored, recorded and processed.
In order to fulfil the requirement relating to collection, the NORSOK D-010 standard, Chapters 5.7, 6.7.3 and 6.7.4 should be used, with the following addition: when testing the formation's fracture strength, pressure testing to the maximum anticipated pressure for the well section should be carried out.
