Hoarding is exactly what the government is doing right now by filling the SPR, and frankly it's the best thing that could happen. It drives prices up. High prices encourage demand destruction. They also finance new well development. The hoarded oil gives us a buffer to fall back on once shortages become more prevalent. High prices are what we need in order to adapt to what's coming, and the sooner they happen, the better.

Howdy all,

This is regarding some openings for "freelance O&G writers and/or editors".

I got a letter this morning...

Edit: it seems a number of people got this email

... in my "write at peakoil.com" email. I don't know too much about this company, but they might be worth responding to. I wrote them mentioning that I might get back to them with a few contacts and that I was also posting his offer on the jobs forum.



This is what they're looking for:

Dear Editor/Publisher

By way of very quick introduction, Leading Brands is a boutique custom publishing house that works with clients such as Chanel, Unilever, Cisco, Lancaster, Mashreqbank, L'oreal and Sony to help them produce custom magazines and publications for the region.

We are in the process of taking on a new client in the Oil & Gas sector to produce a magazine/newsletter for them, and since you are in the industry, we were hoping that you could potentially put us in touch with experienced, English-speaking, freelance O&G writers and/or editors that could oversee the publication that we will be producing for our client. Writers do not necessarily have to be located on the UAE and can work on the publication remotely.

Please note that we are not trying to actively or directly recruit anyone from your company by sending this email, and are merely trying to communicate with specialists in the O&G sector to see if they can point us in the right direction.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,


Mars Mlodzinski
Company Partner

I got that email, too. I wonder how many of us they solicited.

Hahaha, probably everybody! Laughing

But what do you think, are they legit or spammers?

I've no idea, would be fairly easy to check on them via the web, though.
