History of API Q1 and Q2
Quality Management Systems
Architecture,
civil and structural engineering,
MEP engineering,
cost consultancy
Evolution of Q1 and Q2
Originally titled "Specification for Quality Programs for the
Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry"
QMS for "product" – originally manufacturing oriented
Jointly managed with ISO as ISO 29001
ISO/API Separation 2012
Q1 8th Edition released December 2007
Quality impacts to industry rising
●
Failures of equipment
● Problems with service delivery
Increase in Nonproductive Time (NPT) exacerbated
●
Increasing complexity of wells
● Increasing rig costs
14
Evolution of Q1 and Q2 - continued
Root causes of NPT:
●
●
●
●
●
●
Competency/Training
Lack of procedures or adherence
Lack of robust Mechanical Integrity programs
Lack of contingency planning
Lack of history data
Lack of effective change management
Need for industry standardization
15
Evolution of Q1 and Q2 - continued
SC18 TG 5 Created
Developed & balloted document in less than 9 months
Published Q2 in Dec 2011
Specification for Quality Management System
Requirements for Service Supply Organizations for the
Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries
