IOGP Pulse – April 2021
Welcome to Pulse
This edition comes with some interesting insights into our work in decommissioning, we introduce our new guidance on pandemic management in the oil and gas industry, and review our efforts to liberate data through the work of DISC (the Digital and Information Standards Subcommittee).
We wish you a pleasant read.
Stay safe,
