What’s Going On!

Oil and gas. Onshore and offshore. Domestic and international. They are all integral to the playbooks of the U.S.-based independent oil and gas producers and operators The American Oil & Gas Reporter specifically serves.

Advancements in technology have opened a new world of expanded oil and gas resource potential at home. Estimates of the vast promise of domestic unconventional natural gas are increasing seemingly by the day. That is because technological tool kits keep getting better–from cutting-edge geophysical techniques that shed new light on the mysteries of the subsurface, to drilling and multistage completion capabilities that push the boundaries of what is possible with ultralong horizontal and extended-reach wells.

Now independent operators are gearing up to apply these new drilling, stimulation and completion technologies to abundant domestic oil shales. They are expanding onshore CO2-enhanced recovery operations in established fields even as they study almost limitless new oil and gas recovery possibilities.

Meanwhile, the Gulf of Mexico deepwater Lower Tertiary is all the buzz, and bright minds are looking at the big picture of its basin geology for a new era of deep drilling–from corollaries beneath the shallow-water Shelf to the ultradeepwater frontier.

Increased international operations are inevitable as independents’ business skills and technological prowess form the makings for global oil and gas alliances. From host government concessions to national oil company farm-outs, U.S.-based independents are proving time and again that they are the right partners for petroleum resource development the world over.

The American Oil & Gas Reporter has faithfully served independent producers and operators for more than 50 years with the business, financial and technology information they need to improve their businesses both at home and abroad. Plain and simple, it is where executives and operational decision makers alike learn what’s going on!

PRINT IT

Even with new media alternatives, study after study proves nothing is more effective than the time-honored, bedrock power of print to increase brand awareness, improve marketing ROI, and direct intended traffic to other marketing avenues. Simply put, there is no substitute for the hard copy!  More than 85 percent of buyers rely on print on a regular basis. Its cost efficiency is unmatched by any other media. Two other recent observations are important: Research shows that magazines drive Web searches more than any other media, and buyers aged 34 and under rely on magazines as much as their older mentors.
