Oil industry offers real information
IADC says the goal is to have “a rapid-response mechanism" to counter inaccurate information distributed through the general media and by politicians on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
Brian Petty, IADC senior vice-president of government affairs, talked about the web site during the 2009 IADC Drilling Onshore Conference on May 21 in Houston.
BRIEF is an informative site with links to various reports as well as a daily summary of editorials regarding energy-related legislation. It’s worth a visit. I’ve added it to my favorites list.
“EnergyInDepth separates fact from fiction about our nation’s natural gas and oil industry—especially on emerging policy issues such as the environment and taxes,” IADC said in a news release.
IADC notes that US oil and natural gas producers account for the federal treasury’s second largest revenue source with personal and corporate taxes being number one.
BRIEF’s url is www.energyindepth.org.

Paula Dittrick has covered oil and gas from Houston for more than 20 years. Starting in May 2007, she developed a health, safety, and environment beat for Oil & Gas Journal. HSE coverage includes special reports on how industry and regulators deal with what some companies call "sustainability" or "responsibility" subjects. Dittrick also is familiar with the industry’s financial aspects, having covered daily energy commodity prices, corporate mergers and acquisitions, and oil and gas reserves reporting requirements worldwide. On a daily basis, she monitors issues associated with the emergence of carbon sequestration and the development of renewable energy.
Dittrick joined OGJ in February 2001. Previously, she worked for Dow Jones and United Press International. She began writing about oil and gas in the Midland-Odessa area as UPI’s West Texas bureau chief during the 1980s.
She earned a Bachelor’s of Science degree in journalism from the University of Nebraska in 1974.
