HOUSTON, Mar. 1 -- The Energy Institute and American Petroleum Institute have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to work together on petroleum measurement standards. The organizations developed the MOU at the Mar. 7-11, 2005, API meeting in Phoenix, Ariz.

To date, the organizations have completed one joint standard concerning measurements in marine transportation.

Currently, they are developing an implementation guide for their joint activities. The API's David Miller expects the draft version of the guide to be ready in the next few months.

EI, London, has a membership of about 12,000 individuals and 350 organizations. EI was created in 2003 through the merger of the Institute of Petroleum and the Institute of Energy.
