  1. API Tank Standards Update The National Petroleum Management Association PETRO 2013 Hilton Alexandria Mark Center Alexandria, Virginia November 20, 2013 Steve Crimaudo Manager, Downstream Standards American Petroleum Institute

  2. API Tank Standards Update From – API Statistics Department: Monthly Statistical Report August 2013 release Total petroleum deliveries decreased by 0.7 percent from August 2012 to average 19.1 million barrels per day in August. For year to date, total domestic petroleum deliveries, a measure of U.S. petroleum demand, were up by 0.4 percent compared to the same period last year. www.api.org - Publications Standards & Statistics

  3. API Tank Standards Update From – API Statistics Department: Monthly Statistical Report August 2013 release Total motor gasoline deliveries moved up 0.4 percent from July, but were down by 0.9 percent from August 2012 to average nearly 9.1 million barrels per day. For year to date, gasoline deliveries decreased by 0.3 percent compared with year to date of 2012. Distillate Fuel Oil deliveriesincreased by 2.3 percent compared with August 2012 to approximately 3.8 million barrels per day. www.api.org - Publications Standards & Statistics

  4. API Tank Standards Update From – API Statistics Department: Monthly Statistical Report August 2013 release At 1.4 million barrels per day, deliveries of kerosine-jet fuel in August decreased by 0.3 percent from August 2012, and decreased by 2.5 per-cent from July. This was the second lowest deliveries for the month in 20 years, since 1993. www.api.org - Publications Standards & Statistics

  5. API Tank Standards Update From – API Statistics Department: Monthly Statistical Report August 2013 release U.S. crude oil production in August increased by 1.2 percent from July and was up 20.3 percent from August 2012 to nearly 7.6 million barrels per day. – The highest output for the month in 25 years. www.api.org - Publications Standards & Statistics

  6. API History • 1919: API founded as non-profit national trade association, New York City • 1980s: API relocates to Washington, DC • 1995: API Dallas Standards Office relocates to Washington, DC • 2007: Opened offices in Beijing • 2011: Singapore and Dubai, UAE offices opened

  7. API Roles Advocate industry positions on various issues Develop industry standards Gather statistics Conduct research Inform government and public Implement and manage quality programs Publish technical industry information Provide education and training

  8. Background on API Standards Program The API Standardization Department was formed in 1923, with the first API standard published the following year on drilling threads. All industry segments now active in standardization: Exploration and Production Pipeline Transportation Refining Marketing

  9. API Standards API now publishes more than 600 technical standards covering all aspects of the oil and natural gas industry Foundation of Self Supporting Programs Basis for Worldwide Operations Core of Institute’s Technical Authority

  10. Standards Development Process The API Standards program is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) – the program was reaccredited by ANSI in Oct. 2011 following a 2010 audit. - Openness, Balance, Consensus, Due Process - Regular program audits (conducted by ANSI) Transparent process (anyone can comment on any document in process) - All comments must be considered

  11. Developed by consensus (does not mean unanimity) Committee balance between users/owner operators, manufacturers and contractors/consultants Standards developed using ANSI approved API Standards Development Procedures (available on-line atwww.api.org) API corporate membership is not a requirement for participation on API standardization committees. Support from your management to participate is. Standards Development Process

  12. Use of API Standards “De facto” international standards Adoption by reference common by State and Federal agencies – BSEE, USCG, DOT, OSHA and EPA API does not promote adoption - prefer voluntary use Written for flexibility as performance based documents

  13. API Standards Committee Structure Committee on Standardization of Oilfield Equipment & Materials Committee on Petroleum Measurement Committee on Refinery Equipment • Marketing/Aviation • Pipeline Transportation • Safety & Fire Protection Drilling and Production Operations Subcommittee To support the Standards there are Certification programs: API Monogram Program, Individual Certification Programs and others, www.api.org - Certification Programs

  14. API Storage Tank Standards • API publishes over 70 standards, recommended practices, and bulletins covering various aspects of tank operations • Design & Construction • Inspection • Measurement and emissions • Safety & Fire Protection - Safe Entry, Overfill Protection • Environmental - Leak detection, Release Prevention, Emissions

  15. API Storage Tank Standards For committee access: mycommittees.api.org/standards/cre/scast/default.aspx Next Standards meeting: 2014 Spring Refining and Equipment Standards Meeting May 19 – 20, 2014 in Orlando, Florida www.api.org/events-and-training/calendar-of-events.aspx

  16. AST Standards - History • [From 653 - Annex A: Background on Past Editions of API Welded Storage Tank Standards] • API published a specification for welded steel storage tanks in July 1936 entitled API Standard 12C, All-Welded Oil Storage Tanks. • API 12C was replaced by API Standard 650, Welded Tanks for Oil Storage in December 1961; • Many editions, revisions or addenda to API 650 have been issued since.

  17. API Tank Standards Update

  18. Design & Construction • API 620, Design and Construction of Large, Welded, Low-Pressure Storage Tanks • Designed for metal temperatures not greater than 250°F and with pressures in their gas or vapor spaces not more than 15 psig (pounds/square inch) • Appendix Q covers liquefied gases at temperatures not lower than –325°F • Appendix R covers refrigerated products at temperatures from +40°F to –60°F

  34. API Comments to DOT - PHMSA • Background: • The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-113; March 7, 1996) • Directs Federal agencies to use voluntary consensus standards and design specifications developed by voluntary consensus standards bodies - i.e. API • Instead of government-developed technical standards,

  35. API Comments to DOT - PHMSA • API believes the intent of the law clearly applies to new and revised consensus standards. • So….API submitted specific comments October 15th on the PHMSA proposal to not reference the current editions of: • RP 1162, Public Awareness Programs for Pipeline Operators, and • Standard 653, Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction (New Sec. 6.4.2, Inspection Intervals)
