API: A Case Study

As the only national trade association

representing all segments of the oil and natural gas industry, the American Petroleum Institute (API) has more than 625 corporate members. This includes large integrated companies, as well as exploration and production, refi ning, marketing, pipeline, and marine businesses, and service and supply fi rms. Many of these members serve both API and ASTM committees.

Seeing this apparent overlap in industry stakeholders, ASTM and API formed a cooperation with the common goal of serving their mutual communities with easily accessible standards and workfl ow productivity tools interactively.

Powered by ASTM’s multi-layer platform built for accessing standards and publications, API Compass® is now its own custom portal on the API website. Customers receive organization-wide 24/7 access to PDF and HTML versions of API standards through tailored subscriptions, all on one platform.

This new custom site allows API users to benefi t from the same workfl ow tools that have been so valuable to ASTM’s stakeholders, with the ability to form groups, share documents, create custom collections, access training, and much more.
