The history of the oil and gas industry from 1933
Every single paper ever presented at World Petroleum Congresses (WPC) from 1933 to 2002 available on a single DVD disk.
We have just completed a major project for digitizing the whole of the WPC Historical archive. Every paper ever presented from 1933 to Rio in 2002 has been scanned and is compressed onto a single DVD. It is also possible to carryout multi language searches within the text of every single paper. We hope that this valuable tool will open up the WPC archive for future generations.
To give you an idea of the size of this project we have scanned over 50,000 pages, containing (and recognizing) over half a million words. Scanned over 5000 tables and charts and also incorporated large seismic charts from the earlier volumes. All text is searchable and a high speed search engine has been written with unique algorithms for language (in some of the earlier volumes some papers are in German and French), it is Boolean searching enabled, allows phrases to be searched for, contains automatic categorization and can be transferred to run on the Internet without having to start from scratch. If you have a whole wall full of thick heavy volumes then they can all be replaced by this single DVD.
The DVD comes with full instructions. Minimum specification required, IBM PC, Windows 95/98/2000/Me/XP, Screen resolution of 800x600 or higher and a DVD ROM Drive
This DVD containing the searchable content of 17 Congresses is now available for purchase at the special online order price of 500 pounds sterling (post free worldwide). Please use the link below to obtain your copy. Major credit cards accepted.
