What is API Q2 and Why is it Important?

API Q2 is the first international quality management system standard specifically designed for service supply organizations in the upstream oil and gas industry. It sets stringent requirements for:

• Risk Assessment & Management – Proactively identifying and mitigating potential operational risks.
• Service Quality Planning – Ensuring services are planned and executed to meet customer and regulatory requirements.
• Contingency Planning – Preparing for unforeseen events to maintain service continuity.
• Management of Change – Systematically controlling changes to prevent unintended consequences.
• Supplier Management – Strengthening oversight of suppliers and subcontractors to ensure service quality.
• Continual Improvement – Driving process efficiency and long-term service enhancements.

📌 Companies that adhere to API Q2 enhance service reliability, reduce operational risks, and improve efficiency—making them more competitive in the oil and gas industry.
