Oil & Gas INDEX

 

The INDEX offers limited and unique advertising opportunities.  Most publishers focus on revenues derived from advertising.  We take a different approach.  Our focus is accurate and timely content with selected advertising.

 

Most publications charge too much for advertising; advertisers are not getting value for their expenditures.  Our rates, which are about one third of the competition, offer you the most value for your advertising dollar.  In addition, INDEX advertisers always have first right on the same space in the next issue – no ifs, ands, or buts!

 

Another unique feature is our flat rates.  There are no hidden or add-on costs.  Simple and effective for our advertisers – just ask them!

 

Circulation

 

INDEX sales vary from 2,100 to 2,400 per quarter from a customer base of approximately 4,000. Books in current use total some 10,000 with readership estimated at approximately 50,000 on a factor of 5 users per book. Usage is substantially higher given the long retention of the INDEX by most companies.  Sales are about equally divided between Explorers and Producers and Service & Supply companies.
