ISO 15156:2020 is an internationally recognized standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides comprehensive guidelines on the selection and qualification of materials for use in hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)-containing environments in oil and gas production. Also known as “Materials for use in H₂S-containing environments in oil and gas production”, this standard is critical for ensuring safe operations, preventing corrosion, and avoiding equipment failures in sour service conditions.

ISO 15156:2020 addresses the risk of sulfide stress cracking (SSC), hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in metallic materials exposed to H₂S environments. The standard is divided into three parts:
Certification under this standard ensures that the materials, components, and equipment you use meet global requirements for H₂S resistance in upstream oil and gas environments.
The presence of hydrogen sulfide in oil and gas reservoirs poses a significant safety and operational risk. Equipment and materials not designed for sour service may fail prematurely, resulting in leaks, explosions, or even fatalities. ISO 15156:2020 helps prevent such risks by ensuring the right materials are selected and used correctly.
