Oil & Gas 360® readers include a few surprise visitors
In the six years since its founding, Oil & Gas 360® (www.OilandGas360.com) has grown from zero to more than two million total pageviews (as of March 21, 2016).
Oil & Gas 360® is written as an online financial publication that delivers oil and gas industry news, company earnings and operational news, and financial data to upstream, midstream and OilService executives, in addition to portfolio managers and analysts at buyside institutions, bankers and analysts at sellside firms, commercial bankers, private equity firms and hedge funds.
