API International News
IHS publishes news about API standards activities in the following sectors:
Energy
Oil & Gas

API began creating Standards, Recommended Practices, and standards in 1924. Today, API now maintains some 500 standards covering all segments of the oil and gas industry. API standards are widely accepted as the global authority for oil and gas standards.

API standards address several key aspects of the oil and gas industry, including exploration and production, refining, fire protection and safety, petroleum measurement and marine transportation. These documents reference offshore production, drilling, structural pipe, pipeline, health and environmental issues, valves, storage tanks, etc.

Subscribers to IHS standards can quickly navigate active documents written, published, and copyrighted by API. In addition subscribers can review document summary, abstract/scope, history and references by using:
