Downstream Petroleum Standards
Downstream Petroleum Standards are established guidelines and specifications that ensure the quality, safety, and environmental compliance of refined petroleum products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. These standards cover processes such as refining, storage, transportation, and distribution, helping companies produce consistent, safe, and environmentally responsible fuels. They also set testing methods and performance criteria to protect consumers, workers, and the environment. Essentially, they create a framework that ensures petroleum products meet necessary quality and safety benchmarks as they move through the later stages of the oil and gas supply chain.
