API Standard, International Usage and Deployment for Nigeria
About API
 American Petroleum Institute formed in 1919
 A global standard setting organization
 Over 700 standards to enhance operational safety, environmental protection and sustainability across
the industry
 Used to establish, maintain, and distribute consensus standards for the oil and gas industry.
 American National Standard: acceptance by state, federal, and increasingly international regulators.
 Adopted in over 25 Country’s oil and gas markets
 25 Markets were chosen based on current oil and gas presence
 More 15 emerging markets
 Great impact since on safety levels, technical integrity, mitigated environmental damages, reduced
operational cost and maximize stakeholder values.
‘’For each of these 25 markets, API examined publicly available laws and regulations, databases of national
standards and technical regulations, and operational manuals and industry practices to identify specific uses
of API standards.’’ - API Report 2020

4. WHO REGULATES AND APPRAISES API
 API standards are developed under API’s American National Standards Institute (ANSI) which
accredits and ensure that the API standards are recognized not only for their technical rigor but also
their third-party accreditation which facilitates acceptance by state, federal, and increasingly
international regulators.
 The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a private non-profit organization that oversees
the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and
personnel in the United States.
API Approval procedures by ANSI
 It defines the approval, revision, reaffirmation and withdrawal of API standards
 API meets ANSI’s requirement for openness, balance, consensus and due process
 API standards are revised, reaffirmed or withdrawn on 5 year circle
 API stabilized standards (Non-safety, mature technology) may be reviewed on a 10 year circle.

Used of API Standard
 API standards are widely recognized and are used actively around the globe i.e. for national
standards, regulations, technical guidance, and operational manuals.
 API standards are widely used in industry practice i.e. in Gulf countries
 They are widely used in regulations across upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors
i. 47% use in upstream activities (exploration and production)
ii. 34% use in downstream activities (refining and marketing)
iii. 10% transportation
iv. 13% used fire safety and environmental protective measures across all streams of the Oil and gas
Industry
Places where API is most found and their Sectors
 Upstream: Canada, China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar
 Downstream: Mexico, Viet Nam, Singapore, Brazil, and Colombia
 Upstream and Downstream: Other remaining countries

Nigerian: Regulatory Overview and Standards Framework
 Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources (FMPR): Oil and Gas policy
 Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR): Supervision of day to day activities of oil and gas
companies
 Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC): National state owned oil company
 National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA): O&G Environmental regulatory
and safety Issues
 Federal Ministry of the Environment (FME): General environmental and safety concern
 Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB): Seeing to adequate
inclusiveness of local players
 Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON): For all product standards
National policy plan for how hydrocarbons can be “used as a fuel for national economic growth.
”The NNPP covering technical standards states that “Nigeria will adopt appropriate
international
standards selected, whichever is more stringent, from ISO, ASME, EI, API, ASTM, and ANSI.
– Nigerian National Petroleum Policy Section 5.2.11

11. About Extractive Hub
 Founded in 2017 The Extractives Hub is funded by the UK Department of International
Development (DFID), part of the British government. The Extractives Hub forms part of
a broader DFID programme called Releasing the Transformational Potential of
Extractives for Economic Development (RTPEED).
 Other activities under RTPEED include support for the Natural Resource Governance
Institute (NRGI), and the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). Both
organizations are also key contributors to the Extractives Hub.
Classes of Standards According to Extractive Hubs
 Metric Standards: Based on SI unit for measurement i.e. Kg for Mass, Seconds for Time
 Process Oriented or Prescriptive Standards: for testing and determination i.e. carbon
residue test
 Performance-Based or Goal Setting Standards: for compliance and regulation i.e. safety
 Interoperability Standards: for physical system with similar data i.e. ISO/IEC JTC1/SC 32
“Data management and interchange”.

and materials which are also highly specialized to address specific industry needs. This calls for the
development of standards that guide activities’’. Piping Engineering (2015)

19. Petroleum Reserves and Evaluation Standards
It is important we understand the various categories of reserves based on internationally recognized standards.
These are only estimates in the sense that, the various variables and parameters that are used in the estimates
have inherent uncertainties that cannot be overlooked. It is also the reason why several different methods are
used.
