"It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take Hofstadter's Law into account. "
The vast ocean that is the Web is so rich with resources that it can drown an information gatherer in search of articles that focus on a particular topic.
Enter OnePetro. OnePetro’s Web (http://www.onepetro.org/about.htm) describes itself as ...
“a multi-society library that provides a simple way to search for and access a broad range of technical literature related to the oil and gas exploration and production industry. From one place, you can search and buy documents from many different professional societies, or similar organizations, that serve the oil and gas industry.”
The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) administers OnePetro on behalf of the participating organizations. Customers can purchase any of the documents they find through their searches with a credit card, and download them as pdf files directly to their computers.
The list of participating organizations includes …
•American Petroleum Institute (API)
•American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA)
•American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE)
•Offshore Technology Conference (OTC)
•NACE International (corrosion engineers)
•Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
