API History

1919: API founded as non-profit national trade association, New York City 1980s: API relocates to Washington, DC 1995: API Dallas Standards Office relocates to Washington, DC 2007: Opened offices in Beijing 2011: Singapore and Dubai, UAE offices opened

API Roles

• Advocate industry positions on various issues • Develop industry standards • Gather statistics • Conduct research • Inform government and public • Implement and manage quality programs • Publish technical industry information • Provide education and training

Background on API Standards Program

The API Standardization Department was formed in 1923, with the first API standard published the following year on drilling threads.

All industry segments now active in standardization: • Exploration and Production • Pipeline Transportation • Refining • Marketing

API Standards

• API now publishes more than 600 technical standards covering all aspects of the oil and natural gas industry • Foundation of Self Supporting Programs • Basis for Worldwide Operations • Core of Institute’s Technical Authority

Standards Development Process

• The API Standards program is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

– the program was reaccredited by ANSI in Oct. 2011 following a 2010 audit

. - Openness, Balance, Consensus, Due Process - Regular program audits (conducted by ANSI) • Transparent process (anyone can comment on any document in process) - All comments must be considered

Standards Development Process

• Developed by consensus (does not mean unanimity) • Committee balance between users/owner operators, manufacturers and contractors/consultants • Standards developed using ANSI approved API Standards Development Procedures (available on-line at www.api.org) •

API corporate membership is not a requirement for participation on API standardization committees.

•

Support from your management to participate is.

Use of API Standards

• “De facto” international standards • Adoption by reference common by State and Federal agencies – BSEE, USCG, DOT, OSHA and EPA • API does not promote adoption - prefer voluntary use • Written for flexibility as performance based documents

API Standards Committee Structure

Committee on Standardization of Oilfield Equipment & Materials Committee on Petroleum Measurement

Committee on Refinery Equipment

• • •

Marketing/Aviation Pipeline Transportation Safety & Fire Protection Drilling and Production Operations Subcommittee

To support the Standards there are Certification programs: API Monogram Program, Individual Certification Programs and others

,

www.api.org - Certification Programs

API Storage Tank Standards

API publishes over 70 standards, recommended practices, and bulletins covering various aspects of tank operations • Design & Construction • Inspection • Measurement and emissions • Safety & Fire Protection - Safe Entry, Overfill Protection • Environmental - Leak detection, Release Prevention, Emissions

AST Standards - History

[From 653 - Annex A: Background on Past Editions of API Welded Storage Tank Standards]

• API published a specification for welded steel storage tanks in

July 1936

entitled API Standard 12C,

All-Welded Oil Storage Tanks.

•

API 12C

was replaced by API Standard 650,

Welded Tanks for Oil Storage in December 1961;

•

Many editions, revisions or

addenda to API 650 have been issued since.

API Tank Standards Update

Design & Construction

API 620, Design and Construction of Large,

Welded, Low-Pressure Storage Tanks

•

Designed for metal temperatures not greater than 250 °F and with pressures in their gas or vapor spaces not more than 15

psig (pounds/square inch) • Appendix Q covers liquefied gases at temperatures not lower than –325°F • Appendix R covers refrigerated products at temperatures from +40 °F to –60°F

Current Edition of API 620

• The 12th Edition was published October 2013.

API Standard 625 - Tank Systems for Refrigerated, Liquified Gas Storage

•

API 625 is a new standard for refrigerated tank

systems

• Integrates the three related standards - API 625, API 620 and ACI 376 • Brings American standards up to date with coverage of the

single, double and full containment concepts

API Standard 625 - Tank Systems for Refrigerated, Liquified Gas Storage

• API 625 and the revisions to API 620 were worked by the Refrigerated Tank Task Group (RTTG) for several years.

•

API 625, First Edition was published August 2010

•

API 625, Addendum 1 to the First Edition was published July 2013

Marketing Operations

Recent Activity

:

• API RP 1640 - Product Quality in Light Product Storage and Handling Operations •

New First Edition – Published August 2013

API Comments to DOT - PHMSA

Recent Activity: US Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration on August 16 – announced: 2013 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding the incorporation by reference (IBR) of consensus standards.

API Comments to DOT - PHMSA

Background: The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-113; March 7, 1996)

Directs Federal agencies to use voluntary consensus standards and design specifications developed by voluntary consensus standards bodies - i.e. API Instead of government-developed technical standards,

API Comments to DOT - PHMSA

• API believes the intent of the law clearly applies to new and revised consensus standards.

• So….API submitted specific comments October 15 th on the PHMSA proposal

to not reference the current editions

of: • RP 1162, Public Awareness Programs for Pipeline Operators, and • Standard 653, Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction (New Sec. 6.4.2, Inspection Intervals)
