Tech Inquiry

PTTC fulfills its mission of helping industry make timely, informed technology decisions by helping identify and understand producers problems, educating them about technology solutions options and providing connections to appropriate technology providers or experts. In doing this, one key service that PTTC provides is “responding to technology inquiries.”

In offering this service, PTTC asks only that (1) inquiries be limited to domestic US upstream (exploration and production) technologies and (2) that inquirers consult readily available, widely known information sources before making an inquiry. PTTC’s intent is not to provide free consulting—rather, we are an information resource. For some inquiries that require significant time to address, PTTC’s response might be to outline additional work or research that needs to be performed and to provide referrals to appropriate consultants/service providers. 

No specific application of products or services is endorsed or recommended by PTTC. Reasonable steps are taken to ensure the reliability of information resources and connections/referrals that PTTC may make. Individuals and institutions are solely responsible for the consequences of its use.
