The holiday season slows things down just enough to share some of the inside perspective at Write2Market on the year ahead in energy public relations.
Write2Market has deep roots in upstream and downstream energy public relations and investor relations, and I’m looking forward to sharing a few thoughts with you here about how to create the reputation you deserve in the coming volatile news environment.

The 2011 Clean Air Act has teeth–for example, just this month in Louisiana, Pelican Oil was sentenced to pay $12 M in violations for not properly implementing environmental protections at its Lake Charles refinery. The Clean Air Act, just effective this last year, is gaining steam as the EPA learns how to enforce and penalize.
