This lesson provides a high-level overview of the governing bodies in the Oil & Gas industry. We focus on:

  • API (American Petroleum Institute): Understanding the specific standards for equipment manufacturing and maintenance.

  • IADC (International Association of Drilling Contractors): Learning the industry’s best practices for drilling operations.

  • Regulatory Alignment: How local standards (SKK Migas/MIGAS) align with these international frameworks to ensure a “License to Operate.”

Key Takeaway: Compliance is not just about safety; it’s about legal and operational insurance.
