Welcome to the first edition of Energies Media! The rebrand incorporates our three legacy publications – Oilman, Oilwoman and Energies Magazine – into one, all-inclusive platform, covering the full spectrum of energy from oil and gas to renewables and the diverse array of people who lead those industries. We kick off the inaugural issue by talking to Devon Energy CEO, Rick Muncrief, who has witnessed the energy industry’s transformation over the past 44 years, and shares his perspective with us, including how far we have come as an industry and where he believes we’re headed.
“Our mission with Energies Media is to create a unified source of knowledge,” says Emmanuel Sullivan, Publisher of Energies Media. “By merging the expertise from our established publications, we’re crafting a platform that not only represents the current energy environment, but also anticipates its future developments.”
“In today’s rapidly evolving energy landscape, staying informed is essential,” says Nick Vaccaro, Managing Editor of Energies Media. “We are dedicated to providing timely and relevant information that helps our readers stay ahead of industry trends.”
We believe, as the industry transitions to include all forms of energy, it’s time for our publications to transition and be inclusive of all people that power those industries. Diversity, in all its forms, is a crucial driver of innovation in the energy industry. By celebrating the achievements of all community members, our goal is to build a more inclusive future.
“Energies Media represents the next chapter in energy journalism,” says Sullivan. “We invite the energy community to join us as we explore and shape the future of energy together.”

Oil and gas operations are commonly found in remote locations far from company headquarters. Now, it's possible to monitor pump operations, collate and analyze seismic data, and track employees around the world from almost anywhere. Whether employees are in the office or in the field, the internet and related applications enable a greater multidirectional flow of information – and control – than ever before.
