GENERAL INTEREST ARTICLES:

We select and post some of the most topical issues which generate discourse and further our understanding of  Strategy, Economic policy, Oil & Gas, Energy, Extractive and Natural Resources. Our target is to get about thirty (30) to forty (40) of these into the community. 

TOP NEWS PICK:

We will strive to comb the world wide web in order to bring you the TOP News that address real issues in the Energy, Oil & Gas, Extractive and Natural Resources Industries. Our focus is to highlight the major topical news items in Europe, North America, Africa, China, Australia, South-West Asia and the Middle East. This is not to say that news from other regions will not be in the radar.

We will bring you four (4) select photographs with accompanying poetry. The poetry seeks to engage the viewer to appreciate the ART, yet to find meaning in the topic through the expression and unique definition of the mastery in the Art. Joanna Rae is our Photography Artist and has partnered with us from inception.
