PETROWIKI

In my short experience in this Petroleum field, I realized that sometimes it is not easy get information about it from the Internet, and as reasonable, the good information is in books, specific libraries, publications, and probably the best, in the companies (as confidential).

I discovered recently PETROWIKI, a tool developed from the seven volume Petroleum Engineering Handbook (PEH) published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). PetroWiki preserves the PEH content in unaltered form (page names that start with PEH:), while allowing SPE's membership to update and expand content from the published version. Pages that do not have PEH: at the beginning may have started with content from the PEH, but have been modified over time by contributors to the wiki.


As its name says it is working in a similar way as wikipedia, however it has very specific information, mainly in engineering terms, but with good geologic remarks applied to the industry. For instance, you can search about LWD, reservoir geology, or underbalanced drilling.

I have decided to include a link in the blog of PetroWiki, I think it is very useful, even for people who is already into the Oil and Gas industry.
