API Q2 compliance software for oil & gas service providers.
A connected Service Assurance Management system for the entire API Spec Q2 lifecycle — service planning, execution, risk monitoring and corrective action, working across every location and team.
THE CHALLENGE
When service execution varies, compliance becomes unpredictable
For oil and gas service providers, delivering consistent, reliable service while meeting API Specification Q2 requirements is an ongoing challenge. Service execution happens across locations, teams, and environments where visibility is often limited.
Many organizations still rely on spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected systems to manage service quality, risk, and change. As a result, planning becomes inconsistent, documentation is difficult to track, and audit preparation turns into a reactive process.
Most oil and gas service organizations already have documentation. The real problem is control in the field: service plans are created but not always followed, risks are identified but not actively monitored, changes occur without full visibility, and performance data is collected but not connected.

Accupoint Software developed SAM with input from quality leaders and operations teams who understand the realities of service delivery. SAM supports:
HOW ACCUPOINT HELPS
How Accupoint Simplifies API Q2 Compliance Programs
See risk before it impacts performance
API Q2 emphasizes risk awareness for a reason. In service environments, issues escalate quickly if they are not identified early. Accupoint helps oil and gas teams move from reactive response to proactive control by allowing them to:
Evaluate risk at the planning stage
Monitor risk factors during execution
Adjust plans as conditions change
Track mitigation actions through completion
Explore how to manage operational risk and support API Q2 requirements in our Fortifying Operational Resilience: Integrating Compliance and Risk Management Strategies whitepaper.
Connect what happens in the field to what gets reported
One of the biggest gaps in API Q2 compliance is the disconnect between field activity and reported data. When reporting is delayed or incomplete, it becomes difficult to demonstrate control. With Accupoint Software, organizations can ensure that:
Field activities are captured in real time
Nonconformances are recorded and tracked immediately
Corrective actions are linked to actual service events
Documentation reflects what actually occurred
Check out our API Specification Q2 Audit Readiness Checklist for a deeper breakdown of audit expectations and common gaps.
Make audit readiness a byproduct of daily operations
In many service supply organizations, audit preparation is a separate effort — teams gather records, verify documentation, and try to reconstruct events. A connected system changes that dynamic. SAM helps ensure that:
Records are complete and accessible at all times
Approvals and changes are fully traceable
Audit trails are created automatically
Evidence is available without manual effort

Turn service data into actionable insight
Oilfield service organizations generate a large amount of data, but without structure, it is difficult to use effectively. SAM provides teams with visibility into:
Service performance across locations
Recurring issues and trends
Supplier and subcontractor performance
Effectiveness of corrective actions
COMMON QUESTIONS
API Spec Q2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
API Spec Q2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
API Specification Q2 is a set of quality management standards specifically designed for companies providing services to the oil and gas industry. It ensures that organizations maintain high standards of safety, operational performance, and reliability. Achieving API Q2 compliance demonstrates your commitment to quality, helps mitigate risks, and improves customer trust. Compliance with API Q2 is crucial for staying competitive and avoiding costly penalties or operational failures in the highly regulated oil and gas sector.
Both are API quality management standards, but API Q1 primarily applies to manufacturers of equipment used in petroleum and natural gas operations, while API Q2 is intended for service providers operating in upstream oil and gas activities — with greater focus on service quality planning, contingency management and delivery performance. See our guide, API Q1 vs API Q2: What's the Difference and Which Standard Applies to You?
