International Standards & Certification Quality

At the International Board of Oil & Gas Professionals (IBOGP®), our certification programs are built on a foundation of globally recognized ISO standards that define excellence across quality management, operational integrity, environmental stewardship, energy efficiency, and occupational safety in the oil and gas industry. By aligning our curricula with these international standards, IBOGP® ensures that every certified professional is equipped with the knowledge, competencies, and best practices required to operate safely, responsibly, and effectively in high-risk environments. This standards-driven approach not only enhances individual career readiness but also supports organizations in meeting regulatory expectations, improving operational performance, and achieving global compliance

Core ISO Management-System Standards for Oil & Gas Industry

These standards are “management system” standards — they don’t dictate exactly how to manufacture equipment, but define how companies should manage processes, quality, safety, environment, etc. Many oil & gas companies adopt a combination to ensure compliance, efficiency, and safety across operations.

Core ISO Management-System Standards for Oil & Gas Industry

What it is

A sector-specific quality management standard; it builds on the more general ISO 9001 but adds requirements tailored to the oil, gas and petrochemical industries — especially for companies that supply products or services to that industry.

Why it matters in oil & gas

The oil and gas industry involves complex supply chains, high-risk operational environments, and regulatory scrutiny. ISO 29001 helps ensure consistency, reduce variation, prevent defects or failures in supplied products/services, improve safety, and give customers confidence in the supplier’s processes.

Real-world example

A company manufacturing valves and fittings for an offshore drilling operation gets ISO 29001 certification. That certification reassures the oil company that the materials meet rigorous quality standards — reducing risk of equipment failure that could cause leaks or safety hazards in harsh offshore conditions.

ISO 9001: Quality Management Systems (general)

What it is

A global standard for quality management systems (QMS). It’s not industry-specific but sets out best practices for consistently delivering quality products and services and continuous improvement.

When used in oil & gas

Many upstream, midstream, or downstream firms — especially service providers, maintenance firms, procurement offices — use ISO 9001 as a foundation. If they later adopt ISO 29001, ISO 9001 principles still underpin their overall quality system.

ISO 14001: Environmental Management System (EMS)

What it is

A standard that helps an organization manage its environmental responsibilities — controlling environmental aspects, meeting legal/regulatory requirements, and improving environmental performance.

Why it matters in oil & gas

Oil and gas operations can have significant environmental impact: emissions, waste, spills, resource consumption. ISO 14001 helps firms systematically minimize environmental damage, ensure compliance, and improve sustainability practices.

Real-world example

A refinery tracking emissions and waste water, and implementing waste-management procedures, uses ISO 14001 to standardize these practices, enabling regular audits and demonstrating environmental responsibility to regulators and the community.

ISO 45001: Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS)

What it is

A standard designed to help organizations ensure worker safety and health by identifying hazards, assessing risks, and implementing preventive measures

Relevance to oil & gas

Given the high-risk nature of oil and gas operations — drilling, heavy machinery, chemicals, remote sites — worker safety is critical. ISO 45001 helps reduce workplace injuries, ensures compliance to safety regulations, and fosters a safety-first culture.

Real-world example

An offshore drilling contractor uses ISO 45001 to enforce rigorous safety protocols for rig workers — mandatory safety training, hazard identification, emergency response plans. This reduces incidents and demonstrates to clients that worker safety is a priority.

ISO 50001: Energy Management System (EnMS)

What it is

A standard that provides a structured framework to manage and improve energy performance, including efficiency and use of resources.

Relevance to oil & gas

Oil & gas extraction, refining, transportation — all are energy intensive. Implementing ISO 50001 helps companies monitor energy use, reduce waste, improve fuel/energy efficiency, cut costs, and reduce environmental footprint.

Real-world example

A gas processing plant audits its energy usage under ISO 50001, upgrades equipment to more efficient models, and optimizes operational cycles — reducing energy costs and lowering CO₂ emissions.

Other Management-System Standards Commonly Paired With the Above

Depending on company scope and regulatory context, additional ISO standards may also be adopted:
  • ISO 22301 (Business Continuity Management): To ensure operations continue during emergencies (natural disasters, shutdowns, supply disruption).
  • ISO 27001 (Information Security Management Systems): For oil & gas companies handling sensitive data — e.g., drilling data, proprietary information, vendor contracts — ISO 27001 helps manage data security and risk.
  • ISO 55001 (Asset Management): For firms with large physical assets (pipelines, rigs, processing plants), to manage asset lifecycle, maintenance, risk, and performance.
Using a combination of these standards helps oil & gas companies build robust, integrated management systems covering quality, safety, environment, energy, risk management, and continuity.

Industry-Specific ISO Standards for Oil & Gas Operations & Equipment

In addition to broad management-system standards, the oil & gas sector also relies on many technical ISO standards tailored to equipment, safety systems, and operational procedures. These standards are often developed by technical committees under ISO (e.g., ISO/TC 67 covering Oil and Gas Industries).
  • ISO 10423– Standards for wellhead and Christmas tree equipment (used in drilling and production).
  • ISO 13626 – Standards related to drilling and well-servicing structures.
  • ISO 13702 – Standards for control and mitigation of fires and explosions — critical for safety in oil/gas operations.
  • ISO 13533 – Standards for blowout preventers and other “drill-through” equipment (BOPs), ensuring safe drilling operations.
Additional standards cover hoisting equipment, pipeline systems, casing and tubing inspection, electric submersible pump systems, and more — all tailored to specific operational and safety requirements in oil & gas.
These technical standards ensure equipment interoperability, structural integrity, safety, and regulatory compliance — crucial in high-risk, high-complexity oil & gas operations (onshore & offshore).

Why These ISO Standards Are Important for Oil & Gas Firms

Consistency and Quality

Standards such as ISO 29001 and ISO 9001 help ensure consistent quality of products, services, and processes throughout supply chains — reducing defects, failures, and rework.

Safety & Risk Management

ISO 45001 and technical safety standards help protect workers and assets from hazards, reducing accidents, liability, and downtime.

Environmental Responsibility

ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 help manage environmental impact and energy usage — increasingly critical given regulatory pressure and sustainability demands.

Operational Efficiency & Cost Control

Systematic processes (asset management, energy management, quality control) improve efficiency and reduce waste, ultimately saving costs.

Access to Global Markets

Many oil & gas buyers, clients, or governments require supplier companies to be ISO-certified before awarding contracts — especially in international projects and offshore operations.

Regulatory & Compliance Readiness

ISO standards help firms meet legal, environmental, safety, and industry-specific regulations, reducing risk of fines, shutdowns, or reputational damage.

Integrated Management

By combining multiple ISO standards (quality, safety, environment, energy, asset management), companies build an integrated management system that covers all critical aspects — promoting continuous improvement.

How a Typical Oil & Gas Company Might Use These Standards Together

Consider a mid-size company that does upstream drilling and also supplies equipment to offshore platforms. It might:
  • 1. Implement ISO 29001 for overall quality management of supplied equipment and services.
  • 2. Add ISO 14001 to manage environmental impact from operations (waste, emissions, leaks).
  • 3. Adopt ISO 45001 to ensure worker safety during drilling, equipment maintenance, and logistics.
  • 4. Use ISO 50001 to reduce energy consumption in offices, field operations, and manufacturing/fabrication facilities.
  • 5. Follow relevant technical ISO standards (like ISO 10423, ISO 13702, ISO 13533, etc.) to ensure all equipment (wellhead, BOPs, safety systems) meets internationally accepted safety, quality, and performance requirements.
This layered approach helps the company operate efficiently, safely, sustainably — and remain competitive when bidding for contracts with large oil firms or governments.
