Editorial Staff Dear Oil & Gas Marketer,Since 1922, Hydrocarbon Processing has been the most trusted source of technical, operating and market information for the global refining, petrochemical and gas processing industries. We take pride in our tradition of editorial integrity and in being a valuable resource for the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI). Today, through our printed publications, digital editions, websites, e-newsletters, webcasts, data products, maps and events, our reach is broader and has more impact than ever.

No other industry publication provides access to such a large number of engineers, managers and professionals in the HPI who are actively involved in charting the future of the downstream oil and gas industry. Our readers, visitors and event attendees design, build, operate and maintain HPI plants and have unrivaled purchasing power for equipment, materials and services.

Unparalleled Reach Across the Hydrocarbon Processing Industry

Hydrocarbon Processing has the largest circulation to the global hydrocarbon processing industry. With a direct-request subscriber base of more than 30,000 professionals, and a Signet-validated readership of over 126,000, advertisers can leverage the publication to reach decision-makers around the world.

The Power of Concentration

Concentrating your advertising dollars in one publication provides a higher return on investment than spreading the same number of ads across multiple magazines. A company placing their advertising in the leading publication sees very little increase in coverage by adding a second or third publication.1

It is more economical and profitable to concentrate your advertising in the leading publication.

Direct-Request Circulation

Hydrocarbon Processing’s subscribers personally requested their subscription. These qualified engineers and managers choose to read Hydrocarbon Processing because of its editorial creditability, market knowledge and applications to their businesses.

Maximize Your Return on Investment

Hydrocarbon Processing provides a substantial CPM advantage over its competitors, maximizing the impact of your marketing dollars. Your advertisement reaches more refining, engineering, construction and petrochemical industry professionals who have the authority to make purchasing decisions, and who look to Hydrocarbon Processing each month to help make informed decisions.

About one-quarter of Hydrocarbon Processing’s readers receive no other industry publication.2 The engineers and managers that subscribe to Hydrocarbon Processing trust the quality and editorial integrity of the content, and advertisers benefit from the publication’s credibility.

Comparing the Signet report2 to the audit reports3 of Hydrocarbon Processing’s competitors, nearly all of Publication A’s subscribers also receive Hydrocarbon Processing and 35% of Publication B’s subscribers also receive Hydrocarbon Processing.

In contrast, 41% of Hydrocarbon Processing's readers receive Publication A and only 19% receive Publication B.
