Oil & Gas Middle East will next month introduce a paywall across its website.
Readers will be able to unlock unlimited access to Oilandgasmiddleeast.com for $14.99 per month to enjoy the market-leading content we strive to create.
The move is recognition of Oil & Gas Middle East’s status as an authoritative media brand for the Middle East’s upstream sector, informing industry stakeholders across the supply chain.
The paywall will enable the Oil & Gas Middle East team to invest further in its content while also helping to provide a more sustainable revenue model, one driven by our loyal audience rather than advertisers alone.
This step has not been taken lightly, but data suggests that in order to enhance and deliver our content effectively and successfully, a move away from the advertiser-led model of the past represents the best means of protecting the future of our brand.
Our move reflects the new reality of the media industry: we’ve seen the decline of revenues from advertisers and print circulations over the past few years, while witnessing the successful roll out of subscription-based channels such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Oil & Gas Middle East has gone from strength to strength as a brand in recent years. We have grown our reputation through a greater emphasis on exclusive and engaging interviews, webinars, thought leadership content and analysis that empowers industry professionals to make informed business decisions.
We have also invested time into understanding our readership and how they consume our products in order to improve how we deliver a personalised and more enriched experience.
While a number of articles will be available to visitors to the site or those who register their details, only full subscribers will be able to access our diverse and exclusive range of content.
For a reasonable price, users can stay abreast of all the latest news, analysis and data from the industry at the centre of regional and global economies.
We would like to thank you for your support and commitment since the establishment of our brand almost 17 years ago, and we look forward to continuing our journey together.
