Oil & Gas IQ Announces Its Top Bloggers Of 2011

Add bookmark

Over the past three months, the editorial and production team here at Oil & Gas iQ has been collating a host of the insightful, informative and entertaining blogs that we go to when focusing on issues concerning the energy industry.

Initially, we had a 200-strong list of contenders, which, after much deliberation, we whittled down to our favourite 25. Given the calibre of the publications we had to choose from, it was actually a remarkably hard task - just try choosing your top 25 films of all time or your Best Ever Footballing World eleven and you'll see just how hard it is.

The blogs we selected encompass the entire Oil and Gas industry including LNG, Legal, HSE, Production, Information and many more.

In the end - and in no particular order, I might add - the 25 entries below were our Top Blogs of 2011.
