Equipment of a SAGD plant, is it covered by NACE MR0175?

Is SAGD Plant Covered in NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-2 Table 1?

Question:

Is it specified in NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-2 what is included in field facilities and field processing plants, as referenced in Table 1? Would this cover a SAGD plant? Additionally, does the exclusion for below 65 psi apply to all liquid, vapor, or mixed streams referenced in Table 1?

Answer:

The SAGD plant is not explicitly mentioned in Table 1 because it is not a conventional production technique for oil. However, it is up to the user to determine whether certain components of an SAGD process may fall within the permitted exclusions listed. Please see the response to Inquiry #2009-14 for the second part of this question.
