A collaboration that supports the development and use of the Petroleum Industry Data Dictionary (PIDD), giving PIDX members access through the KOIOS Semantic Data Intelligence Platform.

HOUSTON and LONDON, October 21, 2026 — KOIOS and PIDX have formed a collaboration to support the development and adoption of the Petroleum Industry Data Dictionary (PIDD), helping oil and gas organizations exchange data consistently, conform to industry standards and prepare their information for use by artificial intelligence.

Through the collaboration, PIDX members get the additional benefit of access to PIDD through the KOIOS Semantic Data Intelligence Platform. This brings together PIDX’s industry standards expertise and KOIOS’s capabilities for interpreting, mapping, validating and standardizing complex data across systems, organizations and languages.

A shared language for oil and gas data

Oil and gas companies depend on information exchanged between operators, suppliers, service providers and technology partners. Yet the same equipment, material or service can be described differently across and within organizations. Those differences make data harder to match, validate and use with confidence.

PIDD provides a shared framework for describing products and services used across the industry. The collaboration will support the development and enrichment of its content while helping organizations apply those definitions to their own data.

Using KOIOS, organizations can map and validate company data against PIDD, support multilingual use and enable machine-readable exchange. This makes industry standards more practical to apply in everyday data workflows, supporting interoperability and more consistent information across the supply chain.

Building the data foundation for AI

As oil and gas organizations expand their use of AI, the meaning and quality of the underlying data become increasingly important. A product description that a person can interpret may still lack the structure and context a machine needs.

By connecting industry-defined terminology with semantic data intelligence, the collaboration aims to make complex information more interpretable across enterprise systems and AI applications. It supports a foundation for AI readiness: data with consistent definitions, standardized attributes and meaning that can be understood and exchanged reliably.

“Across oil and gas, people often spend too much time working out whether different descriptions refer to the same thing,” said Peter Eales, Founder of KOIOS. “Our collaboration will help organizations put PIDD into practical use, so data carries consistent meaning between systems and trading partners. That shared understanding is essential to interoperability, standards compliance and the industry’s use of AI.”

“Industry standards create value when organizations can apply them in their day-to-day work,” said Mimi Stansbury, Chair of the Board, PIDX. “Working with KOIOS will support the continued development of PIDD and give our members another way to use it. Together, we are helping the oil and gas community strengthen data exchange and prepare for an increasingly AI-enabled industry.”

Access for PIDX members

Access to PIDD through the KOIOS platform is available to PIDX members from the announcement of the collaboration. This is a PIDX member benefit and is not exclusive. PIDD remains free and available as before, and access through KOIOS is an additional option, not a change to how PIDD is available or a requirement to join PIDX. PIDD content stays governed by PIDX’s own standards process. The collaboration supports both the dictionary’s continued development and its practical use across the oil and gas industry.
