Ian M. Doig believes you should never take government or corporate views verbatim. That’s why he writes with uncommon sensitivity and candor, exploring tough issues, exposing misinformation, cutting through semantics, pulling no punches.

From London to Ottawa, from Vienna to Washington, from Saudi Arabia to Alaska. Top business executives. Government officials. Drilling supervisors. Political lobbyists. Ian M. Doig is constantly on the phone with and meeting these people, asking them your most important questions.

Why such high regard for this publication since it commencement in 1983? And why do international authorities and successful oil & gas executives read, respect and rely upon Doig’s Digest?

Because of its independent analysis of the latest trends, breakthroughs, policies and developments affecting Canadian and North American petroleums industries. Up front. Outspoken. Often controversial.
