GSO TC 7 MISSION VISION
Mission To manage developing, updating,
maintaining and monitoring of value-added Gulf
Standards for petroleum, natural gas and
petrochemical industries. This is by adopting
applicable international standards, generating
new and updating existing Gulf Standards.
Vision Fit for the purpose Gulf Standards used
by all GCC countries and based on latest
international and industry standards, satisfying
the region specific requirements and market
availability.
13
GSO TC 7 OBJECTIVES
1) General objectives
To guide Gulf Oil Gas Industry Standardisation
by effective participation of Committees Members
in this process on teamwork basis to accomplish
the following targets
  • To unify the Gulf Oil Gas Industry
    Standardization work in order
  • to achieve uniformity, reliability,
    efficiency and variety control.
  • To improve quality of work and avoid duplication
    of oil and gas standardization work within GCC
    countries.
  • To achieve cost optimisation in procurement
    (material / equipment), design,
    production/processing and services.

14
GSO TC 7 OBJECTIVES
2) Specific Objectives
  • a) To harmonize GCC Countries current Oil Gas
    companies standards with each other and with
    international standards.
  • To develop new and update current Gulf Standards

15
GSO TC 7 SCOPE OF WORK
The Gulf Oil Gas Standards Committee covers
the following standardization activities
  • Material, equipment and offshore structures used
    in Petroleum, Petrochemical, Natural Gas
    industries and LNG industries i.e., drilling,
    production, processing, transportation and
    storage equipment.
  • Petroleum natural gas products (refined
    petroleum LNG/NGL Products)
  • Technical terminology, Inspection and testing,
    Management Systems , (Quality, Health , Safety ,
    and Environment).

Adoption of International Standards in the Gulf
Region
National Adoption
  • ISO Standards are used and referenced in company
    standards/ specifications of GCC Countries
  • Involvement of GCC Countries in ISO TC
    SC/working groups Adoption of ISO standards
  • Mirror Working Groups within oil gas companies
    on specific subjects ISO new work items Qatar
    Petroleum Saudi ARAMCO examples.
  • Mirror national working groups to ISO TC 67 GSO
    TC7. Qatar Petroleum example (subsidiaries and
    joint venture companies).
