Petroleum Infrastructure Programme
The Petroleum Infrastructure Programme (PIP) was set up by the Petroleum Affairs Division (PAD) in 1997. PIP presently comprises two sub-programmes:- the active Petroleum Exploration and Production Promotion and Support (PEPPS) and the now completed PIP (1997 - 2002) sub-programmes.
The overall aim of PIP is to promote hydrocarbon exploration and development activities by:
- Strengthening of local support structures
- Funding of research data gathering and land-based research in Irish offshore areas
- Providing a forum for co-operation amongst explorationists and researchers
Research under the Programme goes beyond normal licence areas - specific work and is designed so as not to duplicate the efforts of other groups or of commercial contractors. It is also considered essential that local researchers should be given an opportunity to participate in the research projects. PIP is funded by oil companies with licences offshore Ireland and the PAD.

This application was developed by the Petroleum Infrastructure Programme (PIP) with input from the Petroleum Affairs Division (PAD) in order to provide on-line access to PIP meta-data. The Data Inventory contains information on data acquired under PIP projects and other relevant datasets, especially ones conducted by European Research Organisations in Irish Waters.
