Desk and Derrick published a “D&D Standard Oil Abbreviator” a number of years ago and I’ve found it to be very handy. I got mine from [AbeBooks.com](http://AbeBooks.com) for around $5 including shipping, so not a costly but very handy reference. It is small, however, about 200 pages of oil-related abbreviations.
