Petroleum Industry Standards have been in the news ever since the BP Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  API, the American Petroleum Institute, not only acts as a trade association but also develops the standards to support the sector.  You'll see innovative new distribution ideas for standards being supported by API and its membership as the industry works to improve the safety and ecological impact of their operations.
