• How International Standards contribute to the
  work of International Oil Gas Corporation?
• Alain LOPPINET CEN TC12 CHAIRMAN

2
OIL GAS INDUSTRY IS INTERNATIONAL

• Our Oil Gas Industry becomes more and more
  international. The hydrocarbons reserves are
  situated all over the world and most of the
  private producers have operations in many
  countries.
• In order to widen their activity, National Oil
  companies already start to have view outside of
  their country of origine
• The manufacturers, if they want to remain in
  work, have also to export their production. They
  need to produce goods of an high level of quality
  for an international business.

3
THE USE OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

• It becomes obvious that due to this
  internationalization of our activity we , as
  industry, need international standards to
  support our work in order to get safe and
  interchangeable equipments and services
  everywhere in the world.
• Local content becomes more and more stringent in
  various countries, therefore we also request
  local standards as close as the international
  ones which we used elsewhere for safety and
  economical reasons.
• Manufacturers having to export their production,
  need to have in hands the proper tools and using
  international standards is part of the success.
• A common international standard allows large
  production of identical equipments and then the
  cost for manufacturing of standardized equipment
  become lower for the benefit of the purchasers.

Oil gas standards history

• Historically, the American organisations mainly
  API, developed the standards frequently used by
  the Western world oil gas industry and GOST did
  it in the Eastern world.
• North Sea operating companies developed lots of
  in-house and project specifications to fit their
  needs not covered by the American standards.
• Growing EU interest for developing European
  petroleum equipments standards emerged in view of
  EUs new approach for technical standards to
  support the general safety requirements in the
  directives.
• The Industry started to work in new areas of
  exploration in difficult environments (climate,
  subsea, HP HT) where other standards were needed.
• For all these reasons, and based on the
  internationalization as mentionned before,
• A change in developing oil gas standards
  specifications was required

5
Why make international ISO and CEN standards?

• Create common understanding.
• Facilitate global trade / availability of
  equipment.
• Reduce design work, retooling and inventory.
• Accelerate product development and delivery.
• Global competition will reduce cost.
• ISO CEN offer a global arena for standards work
  and global experts networking
  possibilities.
• Fair directives for
  the work.

6
Advantage of international ISO and CEN standards?

• Open meetings, voluntary participation.
• Transfer international experience.
• Maintain best practices and codification of
  knowledge for improved solutions that ensures HSE
  compliance.
• Voluntary use of ISO CEN standards.
• Reduce need for company specifications.
• Can support national regulations and reduce text
  of national regulatory documents (New Approach
  Directives in Europe.
• Action was then made for made by the petroleum
  natural gas industry

OGP

• The International Association of Oil and
  Gas Producers
• OGP vision
• To work on behalf of all the worlds upstream
  companies
• to promote responsible and profitable operations
• OGP mission
• To represent the interests of the upstream
  industry to international regulatory and
  legislative bodies
• To achieve continuous improvement in safety,
  health and environmental performance and in the
  engineering and operation of upstream ventures
• To promote awareness of Corporate Social
  Responsibility within the industry and among
  stakeholders

OGP STANDARDIZATION COMMITTEE

• In OGP was created a standardization committee
  which includes the following stakeholders
• 1. OIL COMPANIES
• BP, ConocoPhilips, CPSC, ENI, ExxonMobil,
  Marathon, OMV, Petrobras, Petro Canada, Petrom,
  Qatar Petroleum, RepsolYPF, Saoudi Aramco, Shell,
  StatoilHydro, Total.
• CONCERNED STANDARDIZATION ORGANISATIONS
• ISO, CEN, API
• OTHER
• Energy Institute

TOWARDS INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

• The goal of the OGP standardization committee was
  to get
• and to do it once, to do it right to do it
  internationally

Global Standards Used Locally Worldwide

Oil Gas sector initiative ISO

• Oil and Gas sector decided in 1987 to support the
  reactivation of ISO / TC67 to develop ISO
  standards for the petroleum natural gas
  industry (upstream downstream).
• This created a global arena for standards
  development, where all ISO members and nations
  concerned have a role to play.
• ANSI, USA were offered and accepted
  responsibility for the ISO / TC67 secretariat. It
  was later on delegated to API.
• First meeting of ISO / TC67 took place in Paris
  in 1989.
• A new era in the global petroleum and natural gas
  industry standardisation had started.

12
Oil Gas sector initiative CEN

• In EUROPE the Procurement Directive for excluded
  sectors applies to the upstream activity due to
  the fact that the Oil companies obtain exclusive
  right from the regulatory bodies to explore and
  produce oil gas. Therefore the use of European
  standards if they exist is compulsary.
• For downstream activity many national regulations
  obliged the companies to use national standards.
• European Oil gas Sector was still willing to
  use international standards .

13
Oil Gas sector initiative CEN

• Oil and Gas sector decided in 1993 to support the
  reactivation of CEN TC12 to develop EN/ISO
  standards for the petroleum natural gas
  industry (upstrean downstream) using the Vienna
  Agreement between CEN ISO.
• The Vienna Agreement allows to draft the European
  standards at the ISO level and to adopt them back
  through parallel voting or other. European oil
  gas experts participate to the drafting process
  in ISO Working groups. When an EN ISO is adopted
  it becomes national standard in the 30 countries
  members of CEN as NF EN ISO or BS EN ISO etc
