Reference excerpt

The Oil & Gas Journal is a petroleum industry weekly publication with a worldwide coverage. It is headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States and the journal has a major presence in Houston, Texas, United States. The journal is published by Endeavor Business Media. Its publisher is Paul Westervelt, and editor is Bob Tippee. The first issue was published in 1902. Its online information services started in 1994. LexisNexis database describes the Oil & Gas Journal as an authoritative source on the petroleum industry aimed at engineers, oil management and executives throughout the oil and gas industry. The weekly publishes news, analysis, statistics, and technology updates on exploration, drilling, production, pipeline, transportation, refining, processing and marketing. It is a subscription trade publication. The Oil & Gas Journal has about 20,000 subscribers for the printed issue and 80,000 for digital subscriptions. The Oil & Gas Journal began in 1902 as the Oil Investor's Journal of Beaumont, Texas, which covered the oil boom that followed the nearby Spindletop discovery. As the oil discoveries spread along the Gulf Coast, the magazine relocated to Houston. In 1910, the magazine was purchased by Patrick C. Boyle, long-time publisher of the Oil City Derrick in Pennsylvania. Boyle moved the publication briefly to St. Louis, Missouri, then to Tulsa, where it still resides. In 2018, owner PennWell was acquired by Clarion Events, a British company owned by Blackstone. In 2019, Clarion sold several PennWell divisions, including Oil & Gas, to Endeavor Business Media.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Oil & Gas Journal

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Oil & Gas Journal 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 Oil & Gas Journal 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 Oil & Gas Journal 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 Oil & Gas Journal

In research: Oil & Gas Journal 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 Oil & Gas Journal 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: Oil & Gas Journal is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1902 establishments in Texas, Magazines established in 1902, Magazines published in Houston, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Oil & Gas Journal 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.
