About the journal
OGJ Online is the electronic extension of Oil & Gas Journal, a weekly magazine of international petroleum news and technology. Together, OGJ Online and OGJ form a unique, multimedia channel into the complex realm of energy industry intelligence.
A central feature of the web site is staff-written news posted throughout each business day. Here, the staff pursues standards of focus, authority, and service anchored in specialist-reporting traditions as old as OGJ itself.
The magazine began life as The Oil Investors Journal in Beaumont, Tex., on May 24, 1902. Its founder, St. Louis newspaperman Holland S. Reavis, had been drawn to Texas by the spectacular Spindletop oil discovery.
"Adhering to a strict policy of honesty and accuracy in its news reports," Reavis wrote of his semimonthly magazine in its first issue, "publishing the truth and nothing but the truth without fear or favor to any individual, firm or corporation, there is no reason why it should not receive the support of the people and become a permanent institution, worthy of the confidence of all good men and the enmity of all fakirs."
The magazine soon shifted its orientation from finance to operations and expanded coverage to the entire US Southwest. When the Glenn Pool discovery pushed Oklahoma ahead of Texas as America's leading oil-producing state, Reavis opened an office in Tulsa.
Instructions to Authors
Oil & Gas Journal editors are pleased to receive manuscripts from new or experienced authors.
Articles in specific petroleum-industry fields (drilling, petrochemicals, for examples) should be submitted directly to the responsible section editor. Each is listed in the magazine (on the second page of the Table of Contents) and on www.ogjonline.com. But any manuscript may also be sent to the Chief Technology Editor; a submission checklist (following) provides a list of desired items.
A submitted article should include the name, company, mailing address, telephone and telefax numbers, and e-mail address for each author. It should also indicate in a cover e-mail message or letter whether the article is being submitted exclusively to OGJ or has appeared in another forum (publication, conference, or seminar, for examples).
OGJ editors look for two important characteristics in an article:
- It should provide our engineer/technical specialist readers with useful instructions, data, tools, calculation techniques, comparisons, or solutions for running and maintaining their operations or for designing their processes, facilities, and projects. Articles presenting products or services, including computer programs, simulations, etc., must include the contexts of real operations with specific and detailed results.
- It should be written for engineers, scientists, planners, or analysts with broad familiarity with the petroleum industry.
Simple announcements of new products and services and their benefits, sales presentations, features based on interviews or testimonials are not considered technical articles.
There is, however, a place for short technical releases, report or study abstracts, standalone photographs or drawings (with captions), and other material. To be publishable, such items must have some elements of the preceding Points 1 or 2 or have some dramatic quality.
Reviewing the industry-specific sections in previous issues of OGJ provides the best guide for lengths and formats of OGJ articles. Following are the main requirements in this area:
OGJ does not employ the traditional technical-paper format. The beginning sentence or sentences ("lead") must give the essence (not detail) of the information to be presented and briefly explain why it is important to the intended reader or technology. In general, such a lead is often found in the conclusions of many traditional technical papers.
For length, OGJ is flexible; short articles are acceptable. An ideal length is 2,000-3,000 words plus 6-8 illustrations (see below). A series of articles is also an option.
Figures (graphs, maps, charts, drawings, photographs) and tables must be numbered and mentioned by this number in the text. Each should be presented on a separate page or in separate electronic file and not be incorporated in the manuscript or embedded in the electronic version.
Tables and figures should have titles or headlines. For charts, the title wording should reflect the reason for presenting the figure and not simply repeat the axes (time vs. temperature, for example).
Diagrams and illustrations need only be legible and accurate. OGJ artists will redraw most.
A very complicated figure or chart with intricate scaling, however, should be "camera-ready": reproduced with crisp lines on white background to be used as a photograph, if called for. Also, it's important to remember that large, detailed illustrations must remain legible when reduced to 7 or 4-1/4 in. in width.
Color photos—in standard 35-mm prints or slides or in electronic format (see below)—are preferable. Minimum width for prints is 3-1/2 in. Each picture or slide should be given a figure number and have a caption that explains it.
All lengthy equations should be numbered and presented in a separate equations box along with necessary nomenclature.
If possible, an article and its graphics should be submitted as attachments to one or more e-mail messages (see below for more items). Or, they may be submitted on a compact disk (CD), a 3.5-in. standard diskette, or an Iomega Zip disk. The latest version of MSWord is OGJ's preference.
If digital photographs are submitted, please provide them in .tif, .eps, .jpg, or .bmp formats with a scanned resolution of at least 250-300 dpi (color mode). PowerPoint files may also be submitted.
Inexperienced writers or those for whom English is a second language are encouraged to submit manuscripts.
OGJ editors edit only when necessary to meet our standards for style and tone. If major changes, deletions, or reorganization seem necessary, the author will be contacted before publication.
The pace of our weekly publication schedule prevents us from sending typeset proofs for author review.
Although we have requirements, we are flexible. So, if there is any question about your manuscript meeting any of them, please send it anyway.
In the final analysis, it is content, not format, that is most important.
