First, a big thanks to this year’s sponsors (whose logos adorn this page) for making the 2001 Petroleum Data Manager CD-ROM Archive possible. The Archive contains the full text of Petroleum Data Manager from 1996 to the present, along with valuable information from our sponsors. Indexes are provided for access by year and month, and also by Company, Topic and Product.

References

The CD contains a wealth of information with:-

Over 1000 company references

Over 900 people

Over 1300 product references

350 technologies

180 general topics in Oil and Gas IT

The Archive offers regular conference reports, standards body activity, interviews with industry leaders and of course, all of Petroleum Data Manager’s acclaimed editorials. Finally, contributed materials from our sponsors make the CD a unique reference for oil and gas IT.

Getting started

On a PC, the PDM Archive should start automatically. If the CD does not auto-run, double click on the file ‘index.htm’ in the CD Home directory. The PDM Archive will run on any system (Mac, UNIX, PC). All that is needed is an internet browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, that supports frames (most do these days). Once the CD Archive is running you will see the business-like interface to the PDM
Archive. Navigating the Archive is easy. First select an index (top of page) next chose either the month (for calendar index) or sub-topic. This will display a list of article titles in the right hand pane. Click on one of these and read the full text of the PDM Article.

Papers

This year we bring you two new features - an on-line Buyer’s Guide where you have instant access to contact information for key upstream software houses and service companies. Another innovation is our new section for contributed papers - don’t forget to read this material for more valuable information on oil and gas IT and data management.
