Readers are offered a prime source of information and services. Advertisers, sponsors and potential commercial partners are offered a perfect platform to display, promote and communicate their services & products effectively to the global energy market.

The core service and marketing engine for Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections is its News Service, which is offered free of charge. Since 1996 the News Service provides an expert selection of news-items on the global gas and oil industry.

Every 2 weeks the site is updated with 300-350 news-issues on global gas and oil developments such as major investments, new projects, new markets, related political developments, related business-developments, discoveries, related financial developments, and much more, covering 8 world-regions.

In addition to the News Service , Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections provides an expanding number of complementary services & products for the energy business, which are offered at commercial rates:

• Contracts & Tenders Newsletter, a weekly newsletter containing a wide range of Projects, Tenders, Bids, Discoveries and Contract Awards relevant for suppliers to the Oil & Gas and Marine Construction industry. This information is only available for subscribers, and includes access to a database that already contains over 18,000 projects and tenders going back to 1996. See www.gasandoil.com/contracts
• Oil-Gas-Energy Law Intelligence Service (OGEL), launched only mid 2003 it is fast on its way in becoming the principal global portal for energy law (regulation, contracts, treaties, regulation, policy, legal cases, voluntary guidelines) with relevance and quality the decisive criteria for inclusion. Editor-in-Chief of OGEL is Professor Thomas Waelde, the leading global specialist, and he is surrounded by an excellent team of Associate Editors around the globe. OGEL receives support by the International Bar Association (IBA). OGEL comprises a 2-monthly newsletter, including a database of hundreds of full articles, written by specialists, bibliography database and a database of regulations and legal documents. The emphasis is not on a compilation of 'clippings' from newspapers, trade journals and the internet - as valuable as these are as a rapid item of information, but rather on 'intelligence', ie comment on the true significance, the essential elements and the wider implications of current developments written by oil-gas-energy lawyers and regulation specialists with an in-depth understanding of what a new development means - rather than just the reproduction of a press release. See www.gasandoil.com/ogel
• Transnational Dispute Management (TDM) focuses on recent developments in the area of arbitration and dispute management. TDM provides an innovative service which is both extensive and easy to use and read. It combines both a printable hard-copy version with the facilities of the internet, ie short comments are backed-up by in-depth articles and notes on specific issues. See www.transnational-dispute-management.com
• Alexander's Market Reports , a specialist bookstore, featuring selected reports, researches and intelligence that are relevant for the gas, oil and power- industry, and those related to it. See www.gasandoil.com/goc/marketintelligence.
