Ambassador Program
Over the last number of years, the growth in the use of PIDX Standards for Supply Chain and Procurement eBusiness initiatives within the Global Oil and Gas Industry has increased dramatically and the number of success stories on implementations of the standard continues to grow.
As part of our efforts to help facilitate this success, PIDX appoints International Ambassadors by industry segment (Downstream and Upstream) to promote adoption of PIDX Standards. We have held very successful Outreach meetings that were praised as a huge success by the Operators and Service Companies in attendance. Learn more about our current PIDX International Ambassadors.
