Reference excerpt

Gulf Publishing Company is an international publishing and events business dedicated to the hydrocarbon energy sector. In mid-2018 it rebranded as Gulf Energy Information. Founded in 1916 by Ray Lofton Dudley, Gulf Energy Information produces and distributes publications in print and web formats, online news, webcasts and databases; hosts conferences and events designed for the energy industry. The company was a subsidiary of Euromoney Institutional Investor from 2001 until a 2016 management buyout by CEO John Royall and Texas investors. The business and strategy publication Petroleum Economist also transferred to the company in May 2016. In mid-2017 the company acquired 109-year old Oildom Publishing. The company's flagship magazines, World Oil, Hydrocarbon Processing, Pipeline & Gas Journal, and the Petroleum Economist are published monthly. Gulf is headquartered in Houston, Texas, with sales staff and columnists around the world, due to expansion efforts by William G. Dudley, Sr. The Petroleum Economist publishing and map cartography staff are based in London, UK. Gulf Energy Info's Data Services staff support on-line Energy Web Atlas energy data visualization, and Construction Boxscore downstream project database, from Houston, London and Mumbai. Since 1916 World Oil has covered the upstream oil and gas industry for conventional, shale, offshore, exploration and production technology in oil and gas. Since 1922, Hydrocarbon Processing has provided job-relevant information to technical staff, operations, maintenance and management in petroleum refining, gas processing facilities, petrochemical and engineer/constructor companies throughout the world. Bi-monthly supplement Gas Processing & LNG was added in 2012. Since 1934, the Petroleum Economist has written about oil, its politics and economics - explained some of the industry's biggest disruptions: such as the 1973 oil crisis, the Gulf Wars, the rise of China, the Arab uprisings, and the more recent supply-side shocks from North America's unconventional energy sector. Since 1859, Pipeline & Gas Journal has been the essential resource for technology and trends in the midstream industry; written and edited to be of service to those involved in moving, marketing and managing hydrocarbons from wellheads to ultimate consumers. The company formerly published trade books, but spun off the division as TaylorWilson (now part of Taylor Trade) in 2000; sold its professional book list to Elsevier in 2013.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Gulf Publishing Company

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Gulf Publishing Company claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Gulf Publishing Company before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Gulf Publishing Company ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Gulf Publishing Company

In research: Gulf Publishing Company appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Gulf Publishing Company in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Gulf Publishing Company is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Companies based in Houston, Magazine publishing companies of the United States, Petroleum industry, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Gulf Publishing Company outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
