PTERIS Makes its Mark at OGIP 96

OGIP 1996, the Oil and Gas Information Conference, was held in Stavanger on the 6-7 June. The conference, organised by the Forum for Petroleum Information (FOP) in co-operation with Heriot-Watt University and PSTI, aimed to reach as many professionals as possible working with, or having a special interest in information.

PTERIS (the Petroleum Technology Research Information System) was on display along with the IPRD (the International Petroleum Research Directory) at PSTIís stand in the exhibition hall. In addition a paper was presented by Simon Burnett, PSTIís Information Scientist, on the role of PTERIS as a gateway to oil and gas information on the Internet.

PTERIS, which has been on-line for around 18 months, is used increasingly by PSTI Member companies as a source of regularly updated information from PSTI, in addition to providing links to other related sources of E&P information. In addition, the public access area of PTERIS has a large number of regular visitors, using PTERIS both to gather and disseminate information.

PTERIS is currently undergoing a major upgrade to improve both presentation and navigation around the system. These changes will be in place by the middle of July, as well as constant upgrades and improvements to the system throughout the year. PTERIS on the Internet can be found at: http://www.psti.co.uk
