ExxonMobil collaborated with API and ISO to develop a sector-specific quality management standard for the oil and gas industry. API Q1 had previously addressed additional requirements beyond ISO 9001, and provided the basis for the new ISO/TS 29001 standard. The new standard ensures consistency in manufacturing, auditing, and product reliability for the oil and gas industry as it expands into new frontiers. The successful alignment of API Q1 and ISO/TS 29001 through cooperation between the standards bodies establishes one globally accepted quality standard and certification process.

API Q1 and ISO/TS 29001
A Case Study in Successful Collaboration
Stacey Hagen, Drilling Materials Sr. QA Advisor OCTG Lead Chair, API Subcommittee on Quality 2 Overview ExxonMobil Background
ExxonMobils standards strategy
API Q1/ISO 29001 Case Study
Conclusions 3 Company Background Formed in 2000 as the result of the merger of Exxon and Mobil corporations Now the worlds largest publicly owned oil company 2006 net income of $39 billion US: Total liquid and gas production available for sale was 4.2 million oil-equivalent barrels per day Refinery throughput of 5.6 million barrels per day On March 30, 2007 announced participation in Chinas first fully integrated refining, petrochemical and fuels marketing joint venture with foreign participation Agreement between Sinopec, Fuijan Province, ExxonMobil and Saudi Aramco 4 Standards Strategy ExxonMobil has long been active in national and international standardization Member of the American Petroleum Institute (API), the leading oil industry standards developing organization since 1919 Chairman and CEO Rex Tillerson currently serves as Chairman of the API Board Involvement in ISO activities since 1947, providing the chair of TC28, Petroleum Products and Lubricants since its inception and holding a variety of other positions in TC28 as well as TC67, Oilfield Equipment, Materials, and Offshore Structures and TC193, Natural Gas 5 Participation is based on business / industry need Resource cost assessed against standards added value Standards value combination of business benefits, priority, and spend Provide leadership where ExxonMobil has resources and expertise Standardization vehicle to improved performance Improved safety Improved reliability Reduce costs and enhanced supplier base Standards Strategy 6 ExxonMobil participation in Upstream oil & gas 50 technical professionals actively participate on API/ISO committees Annual prioritization of standards activities and proposals Steering team reviews accomplishments and forward plans Standards Strategy 7 Floating Structures Subsea & Flexibles Materials Drilling Cementing Completion Equipment Drlg Equipment & Riser Fire & Blast & Platform Reassessment Metering Field Bus Design (Process Instruments) Quality Pipelines Fixed Structures Coiled Tubing
Subsea - Wellheads Well Control Derricks, Wind Loads Drilling & Servicing Equipment Steering Team Civil / LNG Germany ISO Coordination Drilling Fluids OCTG & Line Pipe 8 API has been developing standards since 1923 and is recognized as de facto international standards 1
Industry undergoes tremendous transformation and growth: 1970s North Sea Discoveries, 1980s frontier areas including China, Africa, Middle East TC 67 reactivated in 1989, API assumes secretariat on behalf of ANSI in 1995
1 Standards & Competitiveness: Coordination for Results removing Standards-Related Trade Barriers Through Effective Collaboration, US DOC report, May 2004. API Q1/ISO TS 29001 Case Study 9 API Q1, Specifications for Quality Systems first published in 1985, two years prior to initial publication of ISO 9000 series
API Q1 and API product specifications form the basis of APIs Monogram Program API Monogram Program is the leading industry conformity assessment program, with 2120 licensed facilities worldwide China has largest number of licenses issued to date, 560
API Q1/ISO TS 29001 Case Study 10 Why does oil and gas industry need more than ISO 9001:2000? Failure of goods and services can have severe consequences Need for consistency in manufacturing
API Q1 contains 9001 text in its entirety and 45 additional requirements Control Features Independent Design Review Final Acceptance Inspection API Q1/ISO TS 29001 Case Study 11 Oil industry determined need for a sector-specific solution similar to automotive Standard to be developed in liaison with the TC 176 to ensure harmonization
Q1 was recognized as model for an international sector- specific document so that final API and ISO standards would be identical
API Q1/ISO TS 29001 Case Study 12 How best to align API Q1 and ISO as a sector specific quality standard? APIs Subcommittee on Quality proposed a NWI to align a revision of API Q1 and the development of sector specific quality requirements in March, 2002 Draft Technical Specification January 2003 Publication June 2003 API Q1/ISO TS 29001 Case Study 13 One standard accepted globally
One assessment / certification body accepted globally Ensures consistency in audits Eliminates variances in interpretations
Prerequisite for doing business
API Q1/ISO TS 29001 Case Study 14 Conclusions: API and ISO can work together successfully if the vision and commitment is agreed at the projects onset ExxonMobil and the international Oil and Gas industry will continue to push frontier boundaries in the search for oil and gas, requiring more stringent quality assurance requirements API Q1/ISO TS 29001 will continue to help the oil and gas industry ensure consistency in manufacturing and reliability of products.
