Institute of Petroleum 4748365 222427904 2008-06-29T08:23:08Z Edward 4261 link [[petroleum industry]] The '''Institute of Petroleum''' (IP) was a UK-based professional organisation that merged with the Institute of Energy in 2003 to form the [[Energy Institute]]. The Institute of Petroleum had similar goals to the EI but was specifically focused on the [[oil and gas industry]], whereas the EI also covers other forms of energy including nuclear and alternative energies. The IP designation still survives, for example in the specification of test methods in the [[petroleum industry]] (see for example a [http://www.intertek-cb.com/newsitetest/news/IP_Methods.shtml list of IP Test Methods on Caleb Brett's site]). The Energy Institute still runs an "IP Day", a series of events and seminars aimed at the petroleum industry. [[Category:Obsolete British Professional Bodies]]
