ISO 14224 standard is developed to optimize operations and ensure sustainability in oil, gas, and lower carbon energy industries. The course is organized by ISO/TC 67/WG 4 on 'Reliability engineering and technology', under the responsibility of Runar Østebø. The course will address the use of ISO 14224 for operators to ensure safety and equipment reliability for the industry. It is an excellent opportunity to learn about this globally well-recognized ISO standard adopted in 50 countries.

As a follow-up of our standardization sessions at OTC 2023 and OTC 2022, four technical standardization papers were presented at OTC 2024 and well received by many of OTC attendants. OTC 2024 had this year 30 000 attendants. The papers were based on planning work by ISO/TC67 together with IOGP as members in the OTC Programs Standardization Subcommittee, and approval by OTC Programs Committee. The long term vision of these OTC standardization sessions, as also presented at the OTC panel session 2022, have these objectives:
- Reinforce industry attention to standards
- Accelerate moving to a unified set of standards
- Promote industry collaboration
The themes for the OTC session in 2022 and 2023 were ”Discovery” and “Implementation”, respectively, whilst for OTC 2024 it was “Execution”. The technical session papers at OTC 2024 did support the vision and sessions objectives, and conveyed successful applications and important business focus areas within offshore facilities and associated systems/equipment and operations. The papers are also demonstrating the oil & gas industry focus on lower carbon and energy transition.

A special invited Standardization session took place Monday 1 May 2023 at OTC in Houston: "Towards the Implementation of Unified Standards in the Digital Age”. It was organized by the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) standardization subcommittee consisting of ISO/TC67 – Oil and gas industries including lower carbon energy, IOGP and sponsoring societies SNAME and TMS. This technical session was established in line with our objectives of reinforcing industry attention to standards, accelerating the move to a unified set of standards and promoting industry collaboration. This year OTC standardization session included management & technical representatives from standardization development organizations (ISO and API) and other operator industry organizations (IOGP JIP33 and DeepStar JIP Consortium) besides supplier/manufacturer presentations. It contained excellent speakers with industrial responsibility addressing lower carbon, safety/reliability/cost, offshore wind, standardization deployment, digital solutions etc. amongst Industry stakeholders by ongoing collaborations within Standardization Organizations, Industry JIPs, operators and suppliers.
After the previous successful OTC 2022 panel and technical sessions (labelled “Discovery”), this OTC 2023 technical session “(labelled “Implementation”) at 1 May 2023 thus had key speeches with Q&A showing good momentum regarding energy industries usage of standards.

As companies move toward a cleaner energy future, unified international standards will be a critical component for achieving business success through improved environmental stewardship. Industry alignment, healthy collaboration between standards governing bodies, active suppliers’ engagement, understanding the past and looking into digital age needs are essential factors to achieving the benefits of standardization. Following a successful OTC 2022 panel and technical sessions, this session is aimed to continue the discussion on the standardization topic with the main goal of accelerating the industry’s move towards a unified set of standards.

Standardization accelerates value creation in the Oil and Gas Sector - Energy transition
This first ever standardization session at ONS was jointly organized by by ISO - International Organization for Standardization (ISO/TC67) and IOGP and Standard Norge (Standard Norway). The objective was to inform and promote unified standards to accelerate deployment and engage stakeholders in industry sector. This year ONS theme "Trust" was thus also highlighted by the session speeches and energetic panel Q&A discussion showing trust, needs and benefits in ongoing global stakeholders collaboration essential for enabling efficient energy transition. ISO/TC67 (Oil and gas industries including lower carbon energy) vision "International standards used locally worldwide" was also adressed towards the global industry stakeholders. -
The oil and gas sector and the energy transition require safe, reliable, cost-effective and sustainable facilities and operations. The accelerated use of international standards will be essential for achieving business objectives and showing environmental stewardship to secure and maintain lower carbon energy supply. This ONS 2022 standardization session will be a key event to attend to get latest news regarding international standardization.

ISO/TC 67 has published the latest issue of its quarterly Communiqué. Digital transformation of standards was already a hot topic; now all standards development activities have also entered the digital arena. As can be read in the Communiqué, ISO/TC 67 continues to deliver standards needed by the oil and gas sector in close cooperation with stakeholders and good coordination with other standards bodies. Talking about transformation and oil and gas, in view of the transition towards a low carbon emission economy, ISO/TC 67 also started reviewing its scope as members share the view that the scope does not totally reflect their today’s and tomorrow’s activities. This perfectly fits to the theme of this year’s edition of World Standards Day “Protecting the Planet with standards”. ISO/TC 67 will celebrate World Standards Day on the first day of the 2-day virtual plenary meeting on 14 and 15 October 2020.

Since 2003, the oil and gas sector applies their own quality management system technical specification for suppliers: ISO/TS 29001. This specification supplements ISO 9001 that provides general requirements. The publication of ISO 9001:2015 was reason for the oil and gas sector to revise ISO/TS 29001:2010 and transform this document into an ISO standard. ISO 29001:2020 was published on 15 May 2020 and is available for implementation.
