3 API s Origins During WWI, the United States needed to improve its delivery of petroleum products to its armed forces in Europe A committee of experts was gathered, consisting of oil company executives to address the issue They found that drilling delays caused by incompatible equipment at drill sites led to inconsistent oil production and delivery. More standardization was introduced. After WWI, the oil and gas industry realized that its collaborative efforts had been successful and decided to continue working together In 1919, the American Petroleum Institute was formed in New York City

4 API s Origins For API s first 10 years, its primarily focus was on three specific areas: 1. Gathering of vital industry statistics 2. Proposing an acceptable tax code 3. Standardizing oilfield equipment Standardization provides uniformity of pipe sizes, threads, couplings and other equipment in the field. Standardization allows for equipment interchangeability. With interchangeability comes more sources of the standardized equipment.

5 API Today API is the primary trade association for the oil and natural gas industry. API is member-driven API s primary mission is to influence public policy in support of a strong, viable US oil and gas industry essential to meet the energy needs of consumers in an efficient and environmentally responsible way. API lobbies the federal and state legislative and regulatory bodies API is based in Washington DC and has a staff of approximately 250

6 API Today API provides an industry forum to develop consensus on policies and collective action on issues impacting its members API provides the opportunity for standards development, technical cooperation and other activities to improve the industry s competitiveness API represents more than 440 companies in every facet of the industry, including exploration and production, transportation, refining and marketing

7 API Today API divided into segments Upstream focuses on regulatory and legislative issues, industry standards and practices. API works to ensure industry operations are conducted in a safe, efficient and environmentally responsible manner Downstream focuses on refining, marketing and transportation of petroleum products to service stations Marine focuses on transportation of petroleum and petroleum products, marine terminal operations and the impact of federal, state and international regulations, industry standards and practices. We promote safe, environmentally sound and efficient marine transportation

8 API s Responsibilities to Industry Pipeline focuses on regulatory activities that directly affect the operators of petroleum pipelines. We provide a forum for the development of pipeline standards and the sharing of technical and operational information General focuses on domestic and international issues, particularly international trade issues since many members in this segment supply products and services worldwide API covers the entire industry.

9 API Standards Development API is a Standards Development Organization (SDO), and is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) API maintains approximately 550 standards along with other publications API standards are in great demand globally, and many API standards have been adopted by ISO and others Who actually writes API standards? API standards are developed through an API organized, collaborative process that includes users, manufacturers and technical consultants

10 API Standards Development API solicits participation from ALL corners of the world, from all disciplines within the industry API convenes standard conferences for measurement, upstream, downstream and others twice annually. All meetings are open to public

11 API Training Activities Until recently, API training has been fairly limited in scope and in its availability outside of North America. The new APIUniversity includes: API sponsored training courses API & ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) joint courses Technomedia, providing Internet and computer based training
