API Spec Q2 Service Quality Management System for Oil & Gas
Course Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
API Specification Q2 is the global standard for quality management systems specifically developed for oil and gas service suppliers. Unlike traditional manufacturing standards, API Q2 focuses on service execution, operational risk control, contingency planning, and service failure prevention.
This comprehensive course provides a structured, clause-by-clause breakdown of API Specification Q2, designed for professionals who want to implement, audit, or manage a service-based Quality Management System (QMS) in upstream and midstream oil & gas operations.
You will learn how API Q2 differs from ISO 9001 and API Q1, why risk-based thinking is central to the standard, and how to build a service quality system that prevents failures in the field.
The course covers:
Context of the organization in service environments
Leadership accountability in field operations
Risk assessment and contingency planning (core API Q2 requirement)
Operational planning and control for service delivery
Management of Change (MOC)
Service failure handling and corrective actions
Internal audits and certification readiness
Practical templates, case studies, and real-world oil & gas scenarios
Whether you are preparing for API Q2 certification or strengthening your service quality systems beyond compliance, this course provides practical guidance, implementation tools, and audit-focused insights.
By the end of this program, you will not only understand API Q2 — you will be able to apply it confidently in real service environments.
