Driving Safety, Environmental Protection, and Sustainability Across the Natural Gas and Oil Industry
API is pleased to present its 2024 Publications Catalog. The 2024 Edition lists API standards, recommended practices, and other
technical documents to help the natural gas and oil industry operate safely and efficiently, supplying energy to billions of people
around the world. API standards and recommended practices are developed by leading industry subject-matter experts to
establish and maintain consensus guidelines and good practices for the industry.
As we look to the future, we continue to strive to deliver energy in ways that protect our workers, communities, and the environment.
This commitment to improvement is underscored by the release of the 10th Edition of API Specification Q1, Quality Management
System Requirements for Organizations Providing Products for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry-a significant evolution
that establishes revised quality management system benchmarks. Designed to foster continuous improvement, reduce the risk
of using nonconforming products, and streamline efficiency, the 10th Edition includes a broadened scope that reinforces our
commitment to upholding the highest quality standards in an industry that continues to evolve.
The publications in this catalog are intended for all segments of the natural gas and oil industry.
For upstream, API publications cover offshore structures and floating production systems, tubular goods, valves and wellhead
equipment, and drilling and production equipment.
Midstream standards cover pipeline and transportation-related subjects.
In the downstream arena, API publications address marketing and refinery equipment, including storage tanks, pressure-
relieving systems, compressors, turbines, and pumps.
API also has publications that apply across industry sectors, covering fire and safety protection and petroleum measurement.
Other API publications cataloged here include API Statistical Data Reports, economic analysis, research reports, and other educational
materials that provide basic information about the oil and natural gas industry and how technology is transforming it.
API’s influence extends globally, with standards that are referenced in at least 31 countries. This is a testament to the quality and
best-in-class reputation of API documents for advancing environmental, health, safety, and operational performance.
Through the publication and use of our 800+ standards-and initiatives like API Energy Excellence®, API’s foundational
performance program-we are accelerating industry’s practices in driving safety, health, and environmental progress while meeting
global demand for affordable, reliable, and cleaner energy.

Contains requirements and recommendations for those aspects of
geoscience and foundation engineering that are applicable to a broad range
of offshore structures, rather than to a particular structure type. Such
aspects are site characterization, soil and rock characterization, design and
installation of foundations supported by the seabed (shallow foundations),
identification of hazards, and design of pile foundations.
Aspects of soil mechanics and foundation engineering that apply equally to
offshore and onshore structures are not addressed. The user of this

Addresses issues related to the effects of external pressure acting on subsea
equipment installed in deepwater for containing or controlling wellbore
fluids. External pressure at deepwater can significantly reduce the differential
pressure acting on the wall of subsea equipment; therefore, this can improve
its internal pressure containment capability. External pressure is typically
ambient seawater pressure, but in some cases, external pressure may be
due to the hydrostatic head of drilling mud, completion fluids, or other fluids
contained within risers or other conduits that connect the subsea equipment
to surface facilities.
This document provides guidance for subsea equipment designers/
manufacturers to properly account for external pressure (or in some cases,
differential pressure) when designing and validating subsea equipment.
Additionally, this technical report provides guidance to equipment
purchaser/end-user to appropriately select rated equipment for their subsea
systems with consideration to the effects of external pressure in addition to
internal pressure, including differential pressure across a closure
mechanism, and other applied mechanical or structural loads under all
potential operating scenarios and functionality criteria.
It is necessary that users of this technical report be aware of regulations
from jurisdictional authority that may impose additional or different
requirements to the consideration of external pressure or differential
pressure in equipment designs. Pages: 28
