AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE

American Petroleum Institute (API) was formed in 1919 as a standards-setting organization representing all segments of America’s oil and natural gas industry. In the recent year, API has expanded itself to include a growing international dimension beyond the American market, today API is recognized around the world for its broad range of the program.

API STANDARDS

For more than 90 years, API has led the development of the petroleum, natural gas and petrochemical equipment and operating standards. These represent the industry’s collective wisdom on everything from drill bits to environmental protection and embrace proven, sound engineering and operating practices and safe, interchangeable equipment and materials. API maintains more than 700 standards and recommended practices which are most widely cited by the international regulatory community.

API SPEC Q1

API Specification Q1 (API Q1) was developed to meet industry demands for an improved quality management system among manufacturing organizations. This specification is intended for companies that either manufacture products to API specifications or provide industry services not covered by an API standard. By meeting the quality system requirements of API Spec Q1, manufacturing organizations can show their customers they meet the industry’s demands.

API SPEC Q2

API Specification Q2 (API Q2) is the first international quality management system standard for service supply organizations. It outlines fundamental quality management system requirements that are critical to upstream operations such as well construction, intervention, production, abandonment, well servicing, equipment repair and maintenance, and inspection activities.

API MONOGRAMS

API has over 600 product specifications designed to facilitate the consistent manufacturing of products used in the petroleum and gas industry. By adhering to these API product specifications and being part of the API Monogram program, licensed manufacturers have an opportunity to mark conforming product so that is easily identifiable in the field. API Monograms are highly recognized across the world as the seal of approval for quality and reliable product performance.

API CERTIFICATION

Each day, the oil and natural gas industry depend on equipment to produce, refine and distribute its products. The equipment used is some of the most technologically advanced available in the search for oil and gas and allows the industry to operate in an environmentally safe manner. Designed for manufacturers of production, drilling, and refinery equipment, the API Monogram Program verifies that manufacturers are operating in compliance with industry standards. API also provides quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety management systems certification through APIQR.
