for field trips to visit Bakken locations and
look at Bakken processing plants, so we
definitely get up there on the ground.”
And of course, there’s the DUG Bakken
and Niobrara conference in Denver every
spring, which is part of Hart’s Developing
Unconventional Oil and Gas series.
This year, there are 39 scheduled speakers
and 200 planned exhibitors, many of
whom are key operators and analysts working
in the Bakken play.
The DUG series is just one of many
conference and exhibition series Hart
Energy puts on. The company also hosts
the Energy Capital Conference; the A&D
Strategies and Opportunities Conference;
the Executive Oil Conference and Exhibition;
the Marcellus-Utica Midstream
Conference and Exhibition, the Crude in
Motion Conference, monthly Executive
Energy Club breakfasts, and World Refining
and FUEL events.
But as successful as the conferences
have become, Hart Energy’s cornerstone
business continues to be publishing; with
two primary monthly offerings, Oil and
Gas Investor and E&P, the company is a
leader in the industry.
Oil and Gas Investors has been at the
forefront of in-depth coverage of the
North American petroleum industry; the
company says its strongest readership is
among financial analysts, investors and
C-suite executives (CEOs, CFOs, etc.)
with independent oil and gas producers.
E&P is Hart Energy’s monthly technology
and operations management journal,
targeting 50,000 exploration, production
and oil and gas professionals worldwide.
In 2011, the company launched another
monthly called Midstream Business,
with a focus on oil and gas infrastructure
markets, and also produces a quarterly
magazine called FUEL, which covers
global refining and fuels markets.
Hart Energy is also well involved in
mapping and data services, providing solutions
for a wide range of data visualization
challenges, from mapping to geospatial
security applications.
This mapping and data services group
was established in 2008 and grew significantly
with the acquisition of Rextag Strategies
in 2010 to document North American
pipeline infrastructure; the company
offers GIS database services, digital mapping
software and wall maps.
Hart Energy is a privately-owned company
with annual revenues of approximately
$50 million and a future that remains
extremely bright.
