ALBERTA'S AWARD-WINNING OIL AND GAS MAGAZINE
In June, Alberta Oil was recognized as Canada’s 2010 Business Magazine of the Year. In July, ASTech lauded Alberta Oil for excellence in science and technology reporting. And in August, Western Magazine Awards included Alberta Oil as a finalist for the Trade Magazine of the Year.
It seems that the magazine has earned the respect of organizations from one coast to the other. Perhaps that shouldn’t be surprising, as we have certainly received praise from readers across the entire country. Now it’s your turn to get involved, by advertising in the October issue of the most effective, cost-efficient and valued magazine on the energy sector.

ADVERTISER PREVIEW OCTOBER 2010

IN THIS ISSUE

•THE POLITICS OF ENERGY: What are the global political issues impacting the industry? How is the industry responding and has the Alberta government been effective in managing those issues? Closer to home, we assess whether royalty changes and a regulatory system inquiry are healing the relationship between industry and the provincial government, and where the continuing “competitiveness review” is headed next. PLUS, we review the rising level of demand for strict supervision of industry.
•ALTERNATIVE ENERGY: After years of environmental sermons, a pioneer marketing exercise is under way to see if consumers are ready to practice green energy preaching.
PLUS: From biofuels to solar cells and wind power, an overview on the researchers, companies and technologies that are pursuing alternative energy sources.
•THE NEW OIL: With jumbo designer wells made possible by a suite of advanced technologies, a potential flood of new supplies is beginning. Enter “tight oil,” a liquids counterpart to the shale gas revolution. Alberta Oil is on the spot at a Swan Hills well-completion spectacle that is an energy version of rocket science.

And in our regular columns and departments:
•A new pipeline will harness gaseous byproducts of the oil sands for use as premium grade industrial raw materials.
•A ground-breaking effort to start Canada’s first geothermal energy development, with provincial support.
•A kinder, gentler form of construction burrows under streams and rivers to ensure no harm comes to the most sensitive environment in the path of pipeline projects.
•A serial company builder with a 47-year record of success launches a new drilling contractor despite the worst oilfield slump in the current generation’s memory.
•What is a clean fuels standard and what will it mean to the Canadian oil industry?
