Your question is not clear.

The repair welding in on the longuitudinal or Heli LSAW seam weld (API 5L). Or is on the circumferential weld (API 1104). In any way, if you have the welding procedure (WPS/PQR) approved and the welder approved cualification you dont need another WPS/PQR .

But, I remember you, API 1104 require for repair an approved procedure according with (API 1104 point 10) :
