Our History
PIDX has worked with standards since 1987
That committee was referred to as the PIDX Committee. The PIDX Committee developed and published standards to facilitate adoption of digital business in the oil and gas industry. The PIDX Committee’s digital business standards have historically been made available free of charge to all industry participants.
In 2010, the American Petroleum Institute decided to stop hosting the operations of the PIDX Committee. The American Petroleum Institute viewed the development of digital business standards as a lower priority in the American Petroleum Institute’s core mission of advocating for the petroleum industry. However, the American Petroleum Institute recognized the value to the industry from the PIDX Committee’s standards activities and so the American Petroleum Institute sought requests for proposals from interested standards bodies and other entities that could best carry out the nonprofit mission of the PIDX Committee.
A new corporation formed by members of the PIDX Committee, called Petroleum Industry Data Exchange, Inc. (PIDX, Inc.), won that selection process and was selected by the American Petroleum Institute to continue the mission of the PIDX Committee.
