The Oil & Gas Journal began in 1902 as the Oil Investor's Journal of Beaumont, Texas, which covered the oil boom that followed the nearby Spindletop discovery. As the oil discoveries spread along the Gulf Coast, the magazine relocated to Houston. In 1910 the magazine was purchased by Patrick C. Boyle, long-time publisher of the Oil City Derrick in Pennsylvania. Boyle moved the publication briefly to St. Louis, Missouri, then to Tulsa, where it still resides.[5]
In 2018, owner PennWell was acquired by Clarion Events, a British company owned by Blackstone.[6] In 2019, Clarion sold several PennWell divisions, including Oil & Gas, to Endeavor Business Media.[7]
