The "EPA" or "Environmental Protection Agency" was created in 1970 by President Richard Nixon, 37th president of the United States, to protect human health and the environment. The EPA created and instilled laws in the United States to highlight the growing concerns of climate change in our environment[1]. Although headquarters occupy one office in Washington D.C., the EPA has ten regional offices that govern different units that consist of several states. The EPA is concerned about the quality of air, land, water, and life of all living organisms. It enacts laws and promotes sustainable green living to counteract the damage of climate change and to preserve life and the environment that surrounds it. In the 1960's, attention toward the growing concerns of environmental pollution were being drawn to the public.

Standards and technical regulations drive economic growth, technology development, and global trade.API standards convenes subject matter experts across segments to establish, maintain, and distribute consensus standards throughout the oil and natural gas industry. Their purpose is to enhance operational safety, environmental protection and sustainability across the industry, especially through global adoption. The standards are developed under API's American National Standards Institute accredited process, ensuring that the API standards are recognized not only for their technical rigor but also their third-party accreditation which facilitates acceptance by state, federal, and increasingly international regulators API has more than 700 standards. These standards include: * 3.14 SC 21 will be responsible for: * 4 See also * 5 Category API's Standards Committees work to maintain standards through its specific area of interest. Provides leadership in the efficient development and maintenance of standards that meet the priority needs of the domestic and global oil and gas exploration and production industry by minimizing needs for individual company standards, promoting broad availability of safe, interchangeable oilfield equipment and materials, and, promoting broad availability of proven engineering and operating practices.

The electrical system of a typical oil field consists of power generation, power distribution, electric motors, system protection, and electrical grounding. The power is either generated on site or purchased from a local utility company. To ensure continuous production from an oil field, it is of utmost importance that the associated electrical systems be designed adequately. This chapter covers essential topics in the design and operation of the electrical system and discusses the construction and specification of electric motors. Various organizations in the U.S. and other countries have developed many electrical codes and standards that are accepted by industry and governmental bodies throughout the world. Other state and/or municipal regulations also may apply. The required power for the oil field is either generated on site by engine- or turbine-driven generator sets or purchased from a local utility company. The engines or turbines may use diesel or natural gas as a fuel.
