UPCOMING WEBINAR:
AI for Translating Non-Standard Product Descriptions to Industry Standards
NOVEMBER 15, 2024 | GOTOWEBINAR
Join us as we dive into the development of this AI-based tool, its integration with the Petroleum Industry Data Dictionary (PIDD), and how it tracks and logs requests through a document management system. You’ll learn how this tool ensures accuracy in translation, fosters user satisfaction, and integrates smoothly with existing PIDX systems—setting new standards for data consistency in the industry.
Our Mission
Petroleum Industry Data eXchange (PIDX) provides a global forum for delivering the process, information and technology standards that facilitates seamless, efficient digital business within the oil and gas industry and its trading community.
PIDX is made up of Oil and Gas Industry Standards leaders in the facilitation of digital business. We develop and leverage Electronic Standards to take advantage of Industry Best Practices.
In all our work, we strictly follow all rules related to Anti Trust / Anti-Competitive Legislations. PIDX was formed in 1987 with a long term remit to develop and maintain standards to enable digital business in all its forms for the whole Oil & Gas industry.
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.
