Q – What should you send?
To be considered for publication, articles must be of relevance to the oil, gas and energy sector or one of a number of closely allied areas, for example: energy, geopolitics, trade and stock market trends.
In the majority of cases we request that articles are written specifically for publication in EnergyQuest Magazine, ideally with exclusive content.
We welcome articles from companies, individuals, consultants and industry experts regarding projects or upgrades from upstream to petroleum products around the world, including: biochemicals, refineries and other topics.
If the article is a case-study from a company that supplies the industry with equipment, goods or services, the text of the article should not be overtly commercial. It should concentrate on factual elements of what was provided and how this was of benefit to the oil & gas company. This can be backed up with appropriate data, tables and graphs. Real-world technical case studies are of great interest to readers while being an excellent way to show off your company’s expertise.
Q – How many words and images?
Word limits depend on the agreed number of pages that your article will fill in EnergyQuest Magazine, although most technical articles will be two pages. Feature and keynote articles can be longer, subject to discussion with the Editorial Team.
As well as the main text, please supply relevant high-resolution images (JPEG preferred), other graphics or tables to illustrate the article separately.
Q – What about deadlines?
