ISO 15156:2020, titled "Petroleum and natural gas industries — Materials for use in H₂S-containing environments in oil and gas production", is an internationally recognized standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It consists of three parts:
The standard is crucial for preventing hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), sulfide stress corrosion cracking (SSCC), and other degradation phenomena in upstream operations.
The risk of catastrophic failure due to H₂S-induced corrosion is a serious concern in oil and gas exploration and production. Non-compliance not only leads to environmental hazards and safety risks but also massive financial loss due to downtime and repair. ISO 15156 compliance is often a prerequisite for international contracts, supply chain inclusion, and operational licenses in many countries.
