Although this magazine is widely read by the policymakers around the world, it is also very useful for those directly connected with the petroleum industry such as engineers and oil management executives.

It’s their job to see that whatever gets published in the magazine is the best by industry standards. Just because it’s a niche magazine it does not leave out the coverage of topics of general interest.
