For more than 50 years, we have produced and pioneered standards related to petroleum and natural gas—serving the needs of industry, government, regulators, and the public—while helping safeguard the production, delivery, and storage of these important resources.

Today, we offer an internationally-recognized portfolio of standards in this area—many referenced in legislation and guidance documents, such as CSA Z662 - Oil & Gas Pipeline Systems and others. Our collection includes comprehensive standards that address the design, construction, installation, and safe operation of pipeline systems and components, LNG facilities, wells, underground storage, and offshore structures.

Our standards also cover wide-ranging topics such as security management, emergency preparedness and response, damage prevention, pipeline safety metrics, land use planning, and much more.

We work with stakeholders all across Canada, as well as internationally, including national and provincial regulators, operators, suppliers, and other technical experts to develop and maintain world-class standards that support the needs of the industry. Standards developed through this sector represent the technical requirements for compliance with regulations that help protect people, the environment, and property.

Thanks to the financial contribution of the Western Regulators Forum (WRF), CSA Group now provides no-fee access to CSA Petroleum and Natural Gas standards to Canadians.
